Living room feels like a dining room

[ThatDenimExpert]

my walls are a creamy yellow colour with red flowers. curtains are olive green and striped. cushions are patterned. My lamp is green and red and creamy yellow to match. I followed advice to use a lot of patterns but the same colour scheme. But looking at it, something about it feels like a restaurant and it feels off. I feel like I have too many patterns. I don’t know what I can do to

I got stuck 'my walls are a creamy yellow colour with red flowers. curtains are olive green and striped. cushions are patterned'

I cannot envision this. I love colour and pattern, but I cannot see how the curtains fit with the wallpaper? To link there must be something that goes across? A colour link or a pattern link? This sounds like 2 completely different patterns/colour schemes inhabiting the same space.

Would you be willing to share a picture?

This. They don’t sound like colours/patterns that instinctively go together at all. Can you post a picture?

This feels very 90s.

Different textures in the same colour scheme are harmonious. Different patterns sounds like a horrid, busy scheme that is far from being in a relaxing environment.

They are different patterns but the same colour scheme.

Share a photo, I can’t imagine it in my head.

What colour links the creamy yellow and red walls with the olive green curtains?

It sounds very, um, busy. Perhaps share a picture?

The olive green curtains are striped. They’re green and beige with red flowers.
the wall is beige with red flowers and green stems.
the lamp is green with a beige lamp shade decorated with flowers.

My cushions are floral or various patterns/colours

I haven’t got much in the room furniture wise just now. this is as much as I feel comfortable sharing

Being entirely honest I find it all far too busy. It looks a bit like the dining area of a pub. What do you have on your floor?

I’m not sure if it’s beige, I’d say yellowy/creamy. Definitely not white

its vinyl but I’m going to be changing the floor because I don’t like it

I think I’d have gone for a strong pattern on the walls or the curtains, but not both.

I regret it but they are both new. I wanted to see if there was something I could do for the rest of the room to balance it all out more

I’d keep the wallpaper. Pick one colour (can we have a better wallpaper picture?) and have that as curtains. Get a different lampshade.

The curtains are fine, but they need a plain wall.

I quite like the wallpaper if you're going for a chintzy country cottage type vibe. Very sweet. Could you use the curtains in another room?

I would paint the walls in the exact olive green you have in the curtains.This will take away the ditsy busyness of the flowers leaving a lovely background for the curtains.

does the whole room have that wallpaper.

It is such a busy pattern. Everything else needs to be plain to pull that off.

What about this kind of thing - busy wallpaper balanced with calm tonal neutrals?

Or this?

The curtains and the walls is just too much. Replace the curtains (get some second hand if you need to, and sell yours)
