Help with colour scheme

[jo9120]

Hi
We've moved into and cottage with oak beams and floor . It's a fairly large room with a stone fireplace.
We've ordered similar sofas to these .
Now struggling with a colour scheme for curtains / blinds , walls etc.
walls are currently traditional white washed.
All suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

What's the light like? What colour are the beams and floor? Do you like patterns, bold colours, neutrals? To be honest a picture of the room would help

Dulux Egyptian cotton on the walls I'd keep walls neutral and do bold accents.
Sofa is quite bold
Cushions and curtains a nice green or navy. Potentially a feature wall in either green smoke or Hague blue to tie in the cushions and curtains?

One option would be to keep the walls neutral and let the sofas and beams be the focal point. You could then have a rug and curtains/blind that picks up the colour of the sofa. I have a similar style sofa to you and oak floors and I’ve used the sofa colour in the soft furnishings (mine is obviously a completely different colour but might show how it’s tied together).

Alternatively dark red also looks good with a golden yellow or with dark blue.

Keep the walls neutral and pick out colours from the sofa for any soft furnishings. I can't colour match using a computer but if you look at all the Dulux reds and pick the one closest to your colour, click into it twice and it will show you complementary and contrasting colours to give you an idea of what colours go well.

If you like pattern try to pick ones that have a small amount of the red sofa colour and any of the others suggested by Dulux. You should be able to get a fabric sample of your sofa colour so you can take that into a paint shop or B&Q (they do Valspar paint) and find colour cards of the suggestions. Makes shopping far easier if you just have paint sample cards to work out if you are in the right shade of green.

If you have Pinterest then put "colour palette with red" or "whole house colour scheme with red" into the search bar for more ideas. You get many more suggestions than Dulux offers, Dulux always feels very tame in its suggestions. By the way your sofa is gorgeous, I am also jealous of your beams. Bare in the mind the colour of the stone fireplace, stone has undertones of colour usually warm or cool.

Thanks.
This is how it currently looks. Would appreciate some help re fabric for blinds / curtains.

I’d go for a huge area rug in a Persian design that includes the red colour of the sofa and the dark wood colour of the beams. I find they’re a great way to bring in warmth and pull the room together.

Then pick a contrasting colour from the rug for the curtains and cushions. Walls in a warm neutral as suggested above.

It won't need much else once the couch goes in. A neutral perhaps? Or a print in the curtains

Thanks for your help so far. I've been looking at curtain fabric today .
Which do you think look best ?

Another two potentials .

I like pics 4&5, lovely sofa as well

Hi OP as a patterned rug has been suggested would it not be better to have plainer blinds or curtains?
