Hi Lisa, nice sofa. I had a red sofa for 10 years and loved it ( though mine was fabric) I've changed the kitchen/ living room and it stuck out like a sore thumb. I gave in and put in a grey leather sectional one and I must say it's much easier to decorate around. Are you in Ireland? Have you heard of the 1933 company, they have very nice suites. Red makes a big statement! Just my 2 cents worth, good luck!

Hi there, we have dark grey velvet John sankey sofas, we have them five years and they have stood up to family life (two boys a dog and two cats, (dog not allowed on sofas!!))really well I get them professionally cleaned every year or two, the seat cushions on these are reversible which helps! I change the throw cushions to change the look every so often, only down side is dark furniture does take a lot of light, from a room,Hope this helps, Noelle

Plans of extension

I have picked Farrow and Ball Oval Room blue paint for the walls which is really nice with the curtains and 2 couches. Should I paint the inbuilt cupboards and shelves all the same colour or keep them neutral? Also the room has uplighting all around it. Should I just do the walls in blue or continue it under and up the side of the uplighting coving?? Decision, decisions, thanks for the help!
