Need help for my living room colour scheme!

Having recently purchased our home, we are now completely redecorating the living room. We have stripped back the old wall paper, removed the furniture and now have plain walls waiting for their colour scheme. As we've reinsulated and replastered the walls, I don't want to use wall paper.
We have purchased the Natuzzi suite shown, in a lovely rich antique brown without the contrasting trim (winchester brown). I'm planning to put a feature chair to the right of the fireplace, which is a light tartan brown, with contrasting teracotta print on the sides and back. At the window, I'd like to put two chairs, maybe Queen Anne style. I'm struggling to pick an overall colour scheme for the room, remaining chairs & ottoman, rugs etc to tie the fabrics together.
Any suggestions? Despite the modern look of the sofa, I like more traditional styles with a light feal to rooms in general.
Thanks,
Laura

Comments (1)Consider the black to be a neutral. Wall color is your last choice after you have chosen your accent colors. You need an inspiration piece to give you your color palette first. Usually that inspiration piece is a piece of art or a rug. Choose pillows and accessories from those colors. Then choose the wall color from that palette as well....See MoreNeed help for my living room

Comments (25)Wow, I didn't expect so many responses, thank you so much for your time and ideas. I do know that the art is wrong but had to put something up from our last house while we settle in. I do find the fireplace a bit un-friendly and so I would consider changing the colour of it even just the border of it like one of the photos shows. I'm not keen on the small computer cabinet or the ladder shelving I have to admit. I was thinking more of putting 3 full width cherry wood shelves, bottom one being wider and desk height, changing the light fittings to down lights and maybe having a wallpaper or painted backdrop behind the shelves?? I realise I would have to get rid of or change the wallpaper on the other wall and change the curtains too. I take your point, many of you said it, about the curtains needing to fall straight, but I will need a wider pole to do that. Again many thanks, AnnaMarie ps we are in Ireland now but lived in australia for many years and that picture over the mantle is of an old aussie shed with moon light on it....See MoreNeed help with my L Shaped Living room

8 years agoI am planning to use fabrics from the Voyage Decoration company, possibly their Boutique Highland collection. They are all so lovely though that it is very difficult to narrow them down!!
Attached image I found is similar to what I remember seeing. This needs to be brightened up or I could end up with a very dull room..... any ideas?
