Do these colours go? And if so, which curtains?

The paint swatch is setting plaster which I LOVE - sofa (you can just see at the bottom) is textured grey - I’ve tried to pullout colours from the Kingfisher cushion to create a palate but the Dunelm Kingfisher curtains are too busy / much.

do you like these colours together? Curtain ideas?

In your second photo you can just see the green from a plant at the bottom, see how that green ‘zings’ and brings in energy to the other colours, see if you can introduce more green somewhere.

I think the pink and grey go fine but I'm not sure about the navy with the grey, they are similar tones and so compete too much, although both go with the pink. The lighter blue in the map might be a better option as a disruptor colour. And agree that a green would be good with pink and grey.

Maybe a green throw?

It's in the picture behind the sofa as well. So agree that introducing green would be good.

I agree that the navy isn't working with the grey and pink. The soft green suggested above would be a much better option if looking to add another colour in my opinion.

Can you replace the dark blue cushions with sage green?

The grey of the sofa and the paint colour are simply dreadful together.
You need to change one or the other OP.

I disagree but I do wonder what other pinks you have looked at @TheEverdelightfulsamantha , and what direction your room faces. That will make the biggest difference to which pink looks best.

Agree with the green throw or cushion suggestions. Or a green painted piece of furniture if that's your style.

I didn't post this before because it's our - unfinished - bathroom, rather than a living room painted in F&B Setting Plaster estate emulsion. Tbh, because of the way the light falls in there it often forget it's pink!

Anyway, whilst our plan is to change it to a very slightly deeper shade of pink (perhaps something from LittleGreene? ), I'll add a few pics to illustrate the colours we've paired with the existing Setting Plaster in case it helps visualise things a bit @TheEverdelightfulsamantha.

The tiles - a colourful mix that includes deep pink, olive, tangerine, teal and grey - were the starting point as we both fell in love with the bold interpretation of the victorian style. The underside of the roll-top bath is grey and there's a small vintage table for obligatory wine I painted a different green using an F&B sample pot. The art in here combines all the colours and more!

The cushions are 1) pink/lime/mauve linen and 2) plain - but importantly textured - lime velvet. The window seat fabric is an olive weave. The last pic is the Voyage fabric I already have and which I'm considering using for curtains in the bathroom.

Although the tiles are quite a bold pop of colour, everything else is muted and soft. Perhaps it shouldn't work but imho it kind of does.

Do these colours go? And if so, which curtains?

I love the kingfisher cushion, can you set it up as you did the other cushions so we can see it better?

I would pick out the green of the cushion for curtains and maybe choose a darker different colour for the walls.

@LibertyLily - gorgeous! I love those floor tiles.

Thank you 🙂

I liked your original combo better! The kingfisher fabric should go well. Setting plaster is such a good foil for a range of colours and patterns.
