Purple carpet, green curtains, brown leather chair

Individual right?

The curtains are old and may be replaced eventually, but the room has two sets of French windows, so they'll need to be custom made and won't come cheap.

The carpet is kind of speckled grey/ heather colour, was new just before lockdown and the plan was for silver/grey to go with it, but life has changed immeasurably since then.

The chair is a brown leather fireside chair which was late DH's favourite. There's no question of it being changed or recovered.

It's a small room with large windows n two aspects overlooking the garden. It had been a playroom when DC were young and was going to become a gaming room, but now all of a sudden there's only me in the house and all the games consoles have gone!

I have the idea of it being a lovely peaceful sanctuary/reading room looking out at the garden.

What, if anything can I do to pull these "pieces" together.

What’s custom about curtains is it length or width
think if you loose a colour it wouldn’t be as busy curtains 1 st choice to go
chair non negotiable and carpet seems wasteful to change

Can we see a pic? Not the whole lot but the colours at least

Green, silver and tan? For example can just need a load of foliage and some gold

If the carpet is a bit more purple you could still pull all that together with purple / green patterns - cushions or prints?

I don't see that as too busy....sounds potentially lovely to me....

But then I'm coming at it from the perspective of having a living room that combines green, purple, teal, orange and fuchsia 😁

Shame you're probably nowhere near me as I've some fantastic vintage GP & J Baker Green velvet curtains I'm selling.

Seeing a pic would probably help visualise your plans/ideas and what you have to work with.
