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 (19)That wall paper doesn't go at all.. and you don't need wallpapers.. how about a cream shade on the fireplace part of wall with oxblood coloured (from your curtain flowers) horizontal band below mantel, while the rest of the walls be lilac? Ever considered stoenwork similar to your fireplace on that wall? Also lower the hung photographs.. should be at least four inches below the windows' top edge.. Your sofas are quite dark. they seem aubergine.. is there any way you can at least place one of the sofas across from a window so that light falls on it? right now it is in the shadows backed against the windows, therefore more dark (does it seem so when you're in the room too?) The mirror (though nice) is too solid and thick for the mantel. can it go on a clearer stretch of some wall? fourth wall? What is the fourth wall like? idk how the fourth wall is like but how about angling large sofa at 90 degrees to the window with the single seater also angled in the corner where the lamp is.. and place the side table with lamp infront of the window (i-e at the corner of the 'L' made by t he sofas).. If possible get lighter lamp shades (cream).. Love the cushions.. place two of these cushions on the single seater to relieve the large sofa.. Please turn the rug lengthwise along the length of the sofa.. get a glass/metal table (if tots allow) or cream ottomon as center table.. The TV is too large for the rack, no? The vase is being wasted under the tv.. Florals and stripes can be mixed depending on print.. but if you bring anymore florals in this room, it would be best to match the flower shape to those in the curtains. I find the curtains too short......See MoreNeed help for my living room
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

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?
