Would you put these colours together?

The JOY of Blinds and Shutters

Here's an interesting mix of colours: pinkish bricks, white window frames, green blinds, red & black shutters. Do you think this looks confusing or striking? Joy

What colour would I put with this wallpaper

I don't understand, if you have wallpaper up, what are you painting? Is this a focal wall and you need paint for the other walls? How much natural light does the room get, because my first thought would be charcoal gray paint. You could also go with white, light gray or it looks like there's a bit of gold in the paper?

Take the sketch to a paint store and try a bunch of color cards. Take the best ones home to see how they look in the light of your home. Then just pick the one you like the best. No it doesn't have to be some shade of yellow/mustard. It could be a complementary color.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gorgeous-Bespoke-Light-Grey-Velvet-Double-Ended-Chaise-Sofa-HAND-MADE-IN-UK-/121708806362 Hi. The title of your post made me laugh! You have some great pieces in the room. Are the walls elephants breath and the blind taupe? If so, I would add a taupe bed throw. Kelly hoppen has a few good ones on her website but I can't save the images. A velvet bolster cushion would also look great on the bed. I would add either a bed end stool or chaise sofa at the end of the bed. I've attached a link to one on ebay as it seemed very reasonable and you can change the leg colour. I'd go for plain grey silk curtains, next have some silvery grey one in their ready made range which seem reasonable ( apologies as you've painted but I'd hang the curtain rail higher as it will make the room taller). I'd add matching bedside lamps. A roundish decorative silver mirror over the middle of the headboard would look great. I'd also move the chest to the tv ŵall. I personally would just add art to the right hand ŵall if you're laying in bed, maybe some of the black and white Getty images from John lewis? I'd go for the more girlie ones. They're not particularly cheap but you can always buy the prints and have framed separately. Would love to see the room completely finished as it looks great already

Advice on colours to bring a room together

I think it looks very nice! It is lovely fireplace and room. These are just thoughts because I actually really like what you have done so far. Just my opinion. ... 1) Would you think about hanging the mirror above the fireplace, about 6 inches and horizontally? You could dress the mantel then with a few items to the side (eg. tall vase, etc) 2) You could add some funky cushions to your sofa with some strong tones, picking up on the browns and greys (don't match but just use lighter or darker tones or brown or grey) or even add another colour. I just see you have red light pendant, maybe you could mix and match. 3) Will you be adding rug? Again you could bring out some colours using a rug. 4) Something about the shelving looks like it needs adjusting. Are the shelves adjustable? In which case can you adjust so they are not all even size shelving? Try adjusting the items - something looks out of balance. Maybe try books on their sides (some but not all) and moving items into groups of similar colour/ theme. Good luck - Im sure you will get lots of ideas from the community..
