Wall colours with green sofa

I'm ordering these two today. We've just moved and are re decorating but I'm just not sure what colour to pair with these two for the walls etc. It's a south facing wall with a fireplace if that helps!

Hmm, 2 different shades of green, nice.

I think I’d either

  1. Go contrasting - say, shades of purple on the walls (perhaps a dark & lighter shades to mirror the dark & light sofas) and another highlight colour featuring in the ‘small’ decor/cushions etc, perhaps a metallic, like bronze or gold, or something bright and almost clashing like fuschia or teal...
  1. Go bold & co-ordinated with a loud botanical/jungle large scale wallpaper (shades of green base with various colourful flowers/birds that would give you other colours you could pick up on in the cushions/throws etc), other walls in a plain green colour matched to the wallpaper

Or

  1. Go very clean/neutral base - white/off white walls, floaty white drapes, natural wood textures in the other furnishings, and let the sofas themselves be the only/main colour focus in the room.

Or some kind of eclectic combination of the above 3 🤷🏻‍♀️ but my taste may not be MN approved!

A dusky rose or a mauve.

2nd vote for dusky rose, I love the dark green/pale pink combo

White.

They're bold coloured sofas so I'd stick with neutral colours, probably just white and could have a nice green wall where the fireplace is then some different coloured home accessories.

Like Lemonylemon said, either a pale neutral pink (the easy to live with option) or go bold with a strong wall/woodwork colour, I'd go blues and greens.

Love that paler green sofa in particular.

A really light warm colour.

Neutral paint, and some botanical/birdy/William Morris wallpaper somewhere. Then cushions etc picking out a colour of the wall paper.

Or is that about 20 years out of date?

I have a couple of similarly coloured sofas in our sitting room, cushions are just H and M

Ah brilliant thank you all! We did want to incorporate some mustard, navy and pinks so this we may do the walls a dusky pink with some other colours thrown in in the form of rugs/curtains etc!
