Ox blood Chesterfield purchase

I've impetuously bought an ox blood Chesterfield to go in my new Victorian terrace.
It's thrown how I was going to decorate. I've googled but the pics are just of sofas in a plain room.
Has anyone any good ideas? Perhaps a really dark, inky blue fireplace and alcove walls?
In my head I need another colour to tie in, or perhaps it's neutrals with textures?

This is the only pic I can find which represents what I'm thinking. Is there another colour I should add in?

We had that sofa when I was a child in a victoriana house.
We also had vibrant pink walls and a cream carpet, it looked really nice even though it sounds a bit mad.
Victorian houses can be dark, especially if your wood features are oak and/or varnished.
I think you need a brighter, lighter colour which will let the Chesterfield take centre stage rather than just a mass of darkness.
Unless your rooms are absolutely huge with massive bay windows in that case, disregard my advice Smile

If you are going with farrow and ball nancy's blushes and Charlotte's locks would be amazing with that sofa!

It's not massive sadly, but I think it's quite light in the rest of the room. Pink does sound crazy! Mood board required i think

A lot of people in India have them in colonial type houses with pale orange walls and tiled floors and accessorised with hard woods. I think a natural neutral theme would probably look better than something too dark.

Warm pale neutrals with deep dark green?
