Cushions, rugs, lamps, curtains?

It's Valspar Dragon Song.

Not cream as I have dogs!

Deep pinks, purples and a lighter green. The odd splash of gold for brightness and opulence.

Monochrome. More forgiving than cream…

Gold and dusky pink

Growlybear83 · 03/03/2023 14:07

I would choose a very pale green

Whydoitry · 03/03/2023 14:15

Another vote for orange or gold.

WinterDeWinter · 03/03/2023 14:17

a pinky terracotta is the new dusky pink ;-)

mastertomsmum · 03/03/2023 14:19

Gold, teal, russet orangey red and I’d add colour with the odd throw too

caringcarer · 03/03/2023 14:25

Raspberry pink.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 03/03/2023 14:30

These, together.

Midnight blue . I don't like all those lemon, orange, mustard tones that people use as remind me of highlighter pens or the socks we were in the 80's. Peacock green also would be beautiful and both colours look expensive.

I don't have nay more room for cushions but could add bright pink candles/picture frames or ornaments.

Mustard.

CMO · 03/03/2023 17:22

Mustard, burnt orange, purple.

Our living room walls are a lighter green (F&B Olive) although looking to go darker with F&B Bancha or Little Greene Jewel Beetle with a cream sofa and multicoloured rug.

We have a mix of cushions (all different colours, patterns and textures) in fuchsia, purple/aubergine, green, teal, cream.... plus an orange one on order!

Here's a couple of pics of ours....

I like the propsed rug @Discalupe and the cushions, but agree with @MovinOnUp that adding a bright pink cushion (or otherwise your own suggestion of pink ornaments etc) into the mix if possible would be even better!

Paesano · 03/03/2023 18:46

Rusty orange/terracotta or dusky pink. Other colours might look a bit gentleman's club.

Infinitebows · 03/03/2023 20:02

I think these colours work well together- this is one of my saved Pinterest pins. Assuming your sofa is similar to the headboard colour and maybe the floor this colour scheme would work well. I do really like your choices though I have to be honest. I wouldn't have ever thought of the pink! Good call 💕

Terracotta or burnt orange

2pointfourmonkeys · 03/03/2023 20:19

I have a similar colour on my lounge walls. I have dusky pink, mustard, navy and grey velvet cushions x

bonjello · 03/03/2023 20:22

I'd get a mixture of novelty flower shapes
