I have bought 2 of these purple couches, a mid grey couch & the green footstool for my living room which is an extension to my house.

I am looking for suggestions for wall & window covering colours please and thanks.

Hi Niamh. For the ŵall of windows I'd go for a curtain pole all the way across and have 4 drapes that sit/fall on the ŵall space so it looks as if it's a continuous window. Kind of like this pic. I'm not sure if you ever to intend to use the curtains? There looks as if there's enough room to hang the curtains for the larger window if so but would check. For the other windows I'd go for Roman blinds hang on the ŵall at the same height as the curtains. Choose either a matching or coordinating fabric but neither dressings should really cover your view.The other option of course if you're not overlooked is no window dressing but it depends on if you want them for cosiness and insulation too!

Hey guys. I have only found this thread as I am researching this same question. I have cream sliding sash Windows and we are trying to pick a suitable exterior paint colour. Has anyone got recommendations or pictures?

Is the house on a slab or is it raised? Wood throughout is always a gorgeous pop of color since you are leaning toward a light wall color. Here are a couple of examples of light walls with various collections we offer. The flooring comes unfinished so it is a great canvas if you wish to create a custom look!

Would suggest white! A warm white like wimbourne white. All of the most beautiful rooms in my house are painted white! Then add in some wall art and some plants.

Hello niamh6426,

A nicely proportioned set of rooms.. Lovely features, nicely done! Bring the sofa in the opening further into the room so it doesn't block the flow... Ideally move it away from the french doors?

So a few things to suggest here.. Why not paint above the picture rail the white to tie in with the ceiling.. the lavender and sage work nicely and so it really is which you might want to pick out.. I'm thinking of the chimney breast to bring it out into the room with even more focus.....

A deeper purple/grey, charcoal or deeper olive green ... With any of these colours you could have some light charcoal accessories... Silk cushions etc.. The colours would also work with the existing wall paint. Rather like the charcoal colour and it would work with a slightly darker greyish purple too, so throws and other cushions could be also very complimentary.. :))

Hi Niamh. I actually like your existing ŵall colour and floor. I'd go darker on the alcoves to disguise your tv. I just think you need to tie the sofa and footstool colours in together with cushions ie green and grey on lavender sofa etc and add some pattern. Curtains, I'd go ŵall colour ( I love a grey silk curtain!) do you have a photo of the other end of the room? I wonder if the layout can be shifted slightly. Is the rug new?

Hi there,

Unfortunately that room is not my living room, its the room set up I bought the furniture from in a beautiful victorian house in Dublin!! My room is actually like this (nearly finished!)!! A lot of windows & views! I'll take on board that you like the decor colours etc of the 'show picture' I initially posted and will go along those lines.

Thanks!
