I'm moving house in the new year. I have attached a link below to the nearest I can find to the current colour of the living room. I will also be ordering two sofas as per below.

Apologies, but my ancient phone won't let me attach pics.

I'm looking for ideas of what colour cushions, curtains, accessories to buy?

I've been looking at blush pinks, emerald greens etc, but I'm not sure if I'm on the wrong path.

I know mustard/ochre would work, but I'm not really keen.

Furniture will most likely be wood of some medium shade.

Help please!

I have very similar coloured sofas, I have blush pink/cerise/green accents in the room ie throws/cushions decorative candle holders etc think it all blends really well, agree navy/mustard would work but I’m not a fan of mustard, blush/greens would go with navy.

Thanks @dontcallmelen

Are your walls a similar colour too?

My walls are a greyish/green quite dark but my room is north facing so gave up trying to lighten it & embraced the dark.

You could have such a wide range of wall colours with those sofas op.
Personally, I'd choose a warmish neutral e.g. f and b Dimity and then have blush pink cushions/throws in different textures with some green here and there, maybe just in the form of plants.
I love plain fabrics/colours like that that can be added to/changed really cheaply.

I know @Bluesheep8. But to be honest, I don't dislike the blue colour, and I have other things to prioritise over the cost of a decorator for this particular room. High ceilings too, so don't fancy attempting it myself!

But I do imagine I will go neutral at some point.

Ah, apologies - l mis read your post and thought it was about wall colour too.
If keeping the wall colour, I'd still say blush pink cushions and accessories and maybe add in some beige/stone colour accents.

OP I really love that sofa, very mid-century and the colour wall would suit this sort of scheme perfectly. What about a tan/russet colour for accessories or even mustard. Here’s a few from my Pinterest board as thinking of same colour walls myself.
