grey couch, beige curtains?
Comments (11)From Pottery Barn's site, here is the Peyton drape in Oatmeal. Personally, I much prefer the sectional in Pewter. It's beautiful! You can order swatches from Room and Board, and I would highly recommend that before you purchase. I was surprised at the color variations that didn't show up on my monitor when I received swatches from Room and Board. If you need more opinions, take a picture of the swatch with the curtains and the wall color. Also, keep in mind that it's cheaper to replace paint and curtains than a sectional. So if you prefer the Pewter, I'd be more likely to purchase that and change the paint and even the drapes if necessary....See MoreSW Balanced Beige + Repose Gray works?

Comments (2)If you're sure about the couch, and love it enough to take it with you later wherever you move -you can make it work. Think of something containing the same colors as an inspiration. Say a bit stormier gloomier day on some northern coast. Rocks and sand and dark deep gray sea. Or-a desert in the evening. Nature is a great source of inspiration. Or it can be something you saw in a movie or book illustration or art. Out of all the imaginary(or found in books, internet, movies etc) pictures, choose one that speaks to the mood you want to create in the room. Then try to translate it onto your room. Repeat the colors some. Say in accessories..or art..it can be traditional or modern, drawing or etching or painting or graphic print..having maybe some black, some white in it. Make sure the chosen art speaks to you. That it's not only there to tie the room together, that it's more than that-part of what fascinates you. add metals-I'd go for gold finishes here. Can be frames, furniture pieces (side tables? coffee table? etagere? ), lamps... It'll be like that desert sky with stars..when everythings comes so alive, and the lansdcape that can read as sad and dangerously moody starts being thought provoking, inspiring, contemplative, hopeful (if one's lucky)) I believe it will also go well with luxirious velvety nature of your couch. You need a bit of reflective surfaces..metals as I've said..glass, mirror..you don't want your neutrals to fall flat, you need to create depth and add some shine..in nature, it just happens, in room, we have to help the room to feel the way we want it to feel. Obviously pay attention to lighting..or there will be not too much to reflect. Lighting, besides being extremely useful, also creates moods, and makes rooms more beautiful. And creates layers. You want your eye to travel a bit, to decipher a room slowly. Pick pieces that are not too visually heavy as supporting pieces, as not to overwhelm the room. I see some dark wood too-use it but sparingly, if possible. You can discover you're more of a pattern person. more colorful person..you can work it in too, with fabrics etc(a rug? a throw? a vase with pattern?)...just go slowly with that until you figure out where you still want to add, where you'd rather substract. I wanted to ask "does it make sense?" but I'm afraid of an answer)) but yes, you can make it work....See MoreHow can I make my couch look less blue, more grey.
Comments (20)Your room is lovely; it's unfortunate that some people get satisfaction from being rude - must make them feel better about themselves somehow. When you put the sample against the couch are they different or the same? Or did you not actually have a sample or just the pic of it. If you don't have a sample, I'd order one and see if they are the same. The color is lovely; I personally think it is much more interesting and livable than a darker gray would be, but that's me, not you. It looks great in your space. Will the store take it back if the fabric doesn't match the sample?...See MoreRelated Professionals
