What goes with mizzle?!! Head about to explode arghhhhhhhhhhh!

[af2000]

We have had our living room painted in F&B mizzle (like a green sort of colour) with white skirting and alcove shelves. I have a light cream sofa with a sort of pattern in the fabric (which we are keeping due to small child and ineditable destruction of said sofa).

I would like an armchair to go in the room with a footstool which can be used for storage and occasional sitting on. What colour should I go for? Do I try to match the mizzle or the sofa or something totally different?! The curtains are neutral but patterned (floral).

Help!

It's hard to know without seeing your room - in particular, I think, I tend to go more neutral where there is clutter (loads in my house) as colour adds more 'noise'. But if your room is reasonably tranquil I would go for a shot of colour, I think - mustard or burnt orange? If that is too strong, then maybe charcoal or teal?

Ha yes I love to think of it as being a beautiful tranquil space.. The reality is that it will probably be filled up with toys and gradually destroyed! Love the idea of something charcoal

First world problems, I know

I would go for some kind of purple but I like the sound of charcoal too

but if you could see my house you might not take my design advice tbh

We have mizzle in our play room and dining room. We have an iron grey type sofa with a greeny/blue throw (need to dog proof!). We also need to get two smaller occasional chairs and we were thinking grey shade again (need to keep dark with children/dogs) but with brightly coloured cushions.
I think it's a colour that would go with most things.
