I'm buying the sofa. Help me find a paint colour.

[BobbieDraper]

I need help!

I've picked my new sofa, but now I need to find a paint colour. I dont want a dark colour on all the walls but I also dont want white so can anyone show me paints which will go nicely please?

For pale colours I would go with either duck egg blue or sage green. Personally I love darker walls so would go with a deeper teal colour.

Or for a bit more versatility - pale grey walls then pops of a bright colour (any bright bluey/green shade) with throws/cushions/lamps etc.

I've got a green and gold/brass tray and ceramic vase which I think will go. I could try a pale grey with some green prints on the walls maybe?

Sounds good. Or option 3, lilac walls, which I think looks lovely with a mustard sofa and is a bit more unusual...

Pale Grey

But then I love grey & white on walls

(I'm beyond caring about what the hive mind thinks about that!)

(I don't like the lilac)

It's a shame you don't want dark as I think a dark blue would look fabulous with your new sofa!

When I first moved in, I had a purple sofa with dark green walls. It looked good (very me) but in winter it was just dark instead of cosy.

If I could find a dark colour which went well then I might change my mind but I'm just so bad at colour matching!

Do you like these?

Ooh I do! Although I realise you weren’t asking me 😁. I also saw this which I thought looked really cosy. OP at the end of the day, it just depends on which colours you love and would like to have around you.

Dulux tranquil dawn. We’ve done half the house in it. It’s the most lovely pale gray green and changed depending on the light.

Although I be massively tempted by the deep teal colour with the mustard. Match made in heaven.

Thank you for the suggestions!

If the whole sofa was mustard, I would go for a deep block colour on the walls but because the sofa has lighter sections, I think I will go with the grey/green and get some accessories to add colour.

Thank you!
