We are redecorating our living room.

It's a long rectangle without a fireplace. Having built in tv units/ shelves storage but don't know what colour to paint the walls.
It's a light room with big windows at each end.

We have 2 kids so nothing too light.

Help!!

I live in a Victorian semi and have a deep blue sofa.

The sitting room has been painted a Crown Heritage red, a mustardy golden yellow by Craig and Rose and is currently Lamp Room Grey by F&B. They have all looked fab. A blue sofa is more adaptably than you would think.

sage green?

We used to have a blue sofa in our last house and had terracotta walls. It worked really well, especially as it was an older house.

Now live in a cream box, so will be watching for inspiration!

I like the idea of green. Will take a look. I need a hard wearing paint. Any recommendations?

With young kids I'd paint it all trade white and expect to have to do regular touchups.

@justaweeone that's a touch too dark for me. Definitely sold on green just need to find the perfect shade.

We have grey walls with our navy blue sofa. Dulux chic shadow I think - it isn't too light.

What kind of blue is it? We used to have a deep blue sofa in our previous house and had a gorgeous old gold yellow on the walls - a bit less turmeric in colour than @justaweeone's but still very warm gold.

As others have said, it's a versatile colour. you could go for anything from a biscuity neutral to terracotta, creamy yellows, pale sky blue-greys or peacock shades.

OP I get that what I've suggested colour wise is a bit bold and not for every one
I've actually got wallpaper on one wall behind mine( I know a feature wall isn't for everyone). The other walls are painted in Crown stone white.

A greyish green would work for a low-contrast scheme. Teal would also be a possibility. If you're after high contrast, a cool pink (as well as an orange/yellow) would set your sofa off very well.
