I found a sofa and love seat that I love at Rooms to Go but I have no idea what color fits best with my room. The options are a dark blue/green, an ocean blue and grey. I attached my living room pictures and the three color options. We plan on buying both the sofa and love seat as seen in the Rooms to Go stock image. I am also debating whether to get the same color sofa and love seat or mix and match with the three options. Help is appreciated!

UPDATE: Any color recommendations for sofa and chair combinations is appreciated we do not need to go with one of the three colors posted!

DON'T buy the loveseat - they are the bane of good seating arrangements. Unless you have a courting couple in the home who like to snuggle, a love usually seats one person. Most people don't like to sit that close together. Even on a 3-seat sofa, they tend to leave an empty space in the middle so they can turn and face each other for conversation. Get two upholstered armchairs instead. I think you'll want to paint your home anyway, so first change out the lights for 4000K LEDs. That will give accurate daylight color. If you plan for this sofa to last more than 3-5 years, then get a neutral color that will work when you decide to change rugs, curtains and accessories. If you like to change your decor every 2-3 years, then just get the color you love. Paint is the last item in a decorating project because it can be custom blended to work with the fabrics and textiles in a room.

First - LOVE everything about that room! Onto your question - I love the paint color you have in the room, but if you were to go with the light blue or gray sofas they would get completely lost with the lack of contrast. I really like the color of the first sofa posted and perhaps a rug like the one in the photo. Hope that helps! ~ Rachel

It's "French Provincial" that was popular in the 60's and 70's...maybe even started in the late 50's. Only sat on by adults wearing their good clothes. Never used for TV viewing, no kids nor dogs, no eating in that room unless it was a cocktail party and you were wearing pearls and high heels. LOL! Very nice...and I think you got a great buy! Clean it up a little and keep the kids and dogs off of it and never drink red wine anywhere near it! Linda C

Raspberry is a very interesting choice, I'll consider it. I also like gray as well but we have too much gray in the house. How about cream white? I've attached the same photo again just in case the link won't work.

The color of the sofa pictures is the same exact color however I changed the pillows to the fabric attached. The fabric is a grayish color. I need help picking a paint color. The room is going to have carpet likely a light beige or gray.

I'd consider the darker gray twill, a rug like the one below (West Elm https://www.westelm.com/products/colca-wool-rug-t1657/?pkey=cpattern-rugs-flooring&isx=0.0.0), and a caramel leather chair. But really, pretty much any colorway will work on those floors. That's the genius of wood and rugs ;-) Decide what you like. And make sure there will be no problem getting the sofa into the space.

I would go with the lighter blue sofa. And chairs. No love seats

I agree about no loveseat. You don't have room for it. A sofa and 2 chairs is more versatile. Also I would not hang the TV over the FP. It's too high and seating will be too close for comfortable viewing. I LOVE the dark blue/green for your room. If you post pictures of the entire room you will get some help with the layout

Forget the LS and get either one chair or 2 depending on your space and IMO the blue/ green would be a nice choice

Posted additional pictures of the rest of the room for reference! I love the idea of two upholstered chairs but have no clue what color I would go with!

Where are the new pix? You must wait for them to "clear up" before you submit or they don't post.
