I've just bought new sofas....
m.dfs.co.uk/zinc-express/zcx14azpx?gclid=CjwKCAjwmqKJBhAWEiwAMvGt6JdeWDdCqnI4Hdy6X7ZEc7pKuKUXARwbXyUoCqK-CKWoaWPKb-dWdBoC0hwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

And now I'm looking to decorate around them.

I'm not too clever at this but thinking of these cushions:
www.etsy.com/uk/listing/860057665/burnt-orange-and-teal-cushion-cover?ref=pla_similar_listings_top_ad-2&plkey=729c848379c689993f8ec4a31b59bfa990adfeeb%3A860057665&frs=1

And this print in the space to the side of the sofa above a lamp: www.iamfy.co/product/fly-away-art-print-5

And this beanbag to sit in the corner for the kids - www.rucomfybeanbags.co.uk/beanbags/child-s-play-beanbags/kids-squarbie-range/comfy-large-squarbie-beanbag.html

Do you think this will work? What colour/style of curtains should I go for?

I know colours can look different on line but the bean bag looks a very different shade to the cushions and sofa. You could opt for an orange bean bag to match the fabric on the cushion? A bold choice perhaps but I think it might work?

I just checked that link to the beanbag and it's taking you to the default colour. It's the orange one we are thinking of getting which I think would be a pretty good match for the cushions. I'll try and attach a photo!

I have that couch. Well the corner one. I went with navy blue and mustard yellow to go. Still to get "feature wall" painted over from the last decor we had but the decorator keeps forgetting me 🙄.
I'll try find some pics in the daylight for you.

Thanks @Thatsplentyjack , I would love to see some photos!

I also have a navy blue chenille arm chair. I don't have a seat many cushion on it anymore and have a navy throw

Sorry, didn't think it would upload the blue one, and that's supposed to say I don't have as many cushions anymore, now have a navy throw over my bit of the couch because I actually don't really like the feeling of the fabric but I have very very sensitive skin.

Thanks @Thatsplentyjack - your style is lovely, I really like that combo of teal, yellow and navy. I know what you mean about the feel of the fabric - it's a bit weird. But they are so comfy. Have you spilled anything on yours? We've just changed from leather couches which were pretty bombproof and I have no idea how to clean these ones in the event of an inevitable spillage!

What flooring do you have?

They all look nice, but is nice what you’re after? Sofa is fab. Cushions - go for at least 2 of the Aztec patterned ones, not just plain ones. Picture looks like something you’d find in a hotel room. It’s a no from me. Floor cushion - nice, but will soon get mucky - again look for a patterned one.

We have oak laminate flooring but mostly covered with a large rug which has navy grey and orange pattern.

Good point 're going for a patterned beanbag to hide the inevitable stains!
