Plummy purple walls and pale grey carpet - what colour goes with both?

[QuimReaper]

We've just done our bedroom in F&B 'Brinjal' and have a pale grey carpet. For accents (wall lights, picture frames, mirror frames, edging on bookcases) I've gone with gold, which looks beautiful with the purple, but now I want a little velvet chaise lounge type thing, and we also need new carpets, and I'm stuck on what colour will go with both carpet and walls!

I was thinking a sort of Champagney colour, but it's not that practical for the little sofa, and I'm not that sure about champagne + grey.

I wondered for the sofa about just sticking with grey, but I don't think that'll work for the curtains.

White would be the obvious, with white skirting + ceiling + above the picture rail but again, horribly impractical.

Any other bright ideas?

we also need new carpets

That was meant to say curtains!

Green. At least it does in my house.

We have the same with yellow/gold accent peices

We have plum with champagne and pale teal accents. Looks lovely. Think peacock colours.

I also think teal.

Cheeky but any chance of a photo of your walls OP?

I've been on the verge of ordering Brinjal for my bedroom for months now but keep bottling it!

Gold or green sound good to me btw.

We've got a similar wall colour in a guest bedroom. I've teamed it up with a cream/beige carpet, the bedside tables are gold and the lamps black with cream shades. The rug has got a bit of black and hints of colour (including purple and orange). The cushions are black and white and orange. There's a bit of natural wood (curtain rail and chair).

Would an old gold/mustard colour work?

[QuimReaper]

I wish I'd gone for a cream carpet, I wasn't brave enough, thought it might get wrecked if we decide to repurpose the rooms once we extend. Would've made life much easier!

Funnily enough I have cheap old teal lampshades, and I originally thought they clashed, but I was looking at them the other day and thinking that whilst a cream and gold shade would look more in-keeping, the colour match wasn't actually unpleasant. Mosaic that was something I bandied around too, but would it be a bit much in a whole sofa?

[QuimReaper]

Jesus of course

I bottled it for ages too but I'm thrilled with it, I think it looks fabulous! It's a darkish north-facing room so it can take it.

A dirty link colour might work.

I’m in the teal camp too.

[Allthebestnamesareused]

Lime green

[marywasneeavirgin]

I'd definitely go with bright, lime green, teal, orange. It's a case of thinking outside the box. Walls look fab!

[QuimReaper]

Sorry for the weirdly wonky picture

[QuimReaper]

I'm really warming to the teal idea!

Is it OK to have everything else gold and just one pop of teal, or do I need a couple of other teal accents?

[healthyheart]

Orange.

[Ketzele]

Mustard, olive, teal.
