CHOCOLATE BROWN SOFA AND IVORY WALLS- WHAT COLOUR CURTAINS?

[madgirl]

any ideas? i have my heart set on deep red/burgundy but should we have pattern, or plain, and if pattern, how big - the windows are huge- track is 3 metres and drop of 2 1/2 metres. pathetic, i have trawled round a fabric warehouse and john lewis and still not sure what to go for.

Ha, I was going to say raspberry. So no other idea than yours, really. Do you want thick or thin? If thin, how about sari fabric?

2nd vote for cream/ivory I'm afraid, unless the room is huge and the curtains won't dominate.

Cream/stone colour or duck-egg blue for me.

cream/ivory. But that might be because that's what we've got

blimey- BIG ivory fans here!
don't you think that will make the room cold? don't get me wrong, i like the look of the whole thing. but we have wooden floors so i am worried it's going to look a bit like we're trying to look cool and trendy and magazine like and i want it to be warm and inviting

deffo not red.
I would get a coffee cream 60s retro print. Jl do one - PPh and i have the blue one in our bedrooms!

Coffee sounds good actually, not really dark but toning with the sofa and your wooden floors.

I would go for coffee colours or soft russett depending on how big your window dressing needs are. If your curtains are the same as your walls (white/cream)it could look too clinical.

I tried burgundy curtains - big mistake. They sucked all the light out of the room and made me feel oppressed. We switched to pale green & cream.

what about a capachino colour or a lilac

how about a turqoise-type blue. tricky to find the right one probably but could look nice?

sounds like myliving room to be...still decorating we've gone for cream/ivory curtains to match the wallpaper. To make it seem more warm and cuddly i've got some fake fur fuffy cushions in ivory and am going to get some lovelt red cushions. We are alos planning on putting colour in the room thru art, Mark Rothco does some lovely painting in reds which will look just lovely!! p.s were not rich enough for originals just prints and framed posters!!

thank you all very much. am now convinced that either coffee or cream would be good. one further question- should we go one colour or mix of 2? and how about cushions?? as you can tell i am not an interior designer by trade.

Go with coffee cushions as well.......it will look great. What colour is the floor?

it's mid brown (oak stripped floorboards)collision

A sectional brown sofa for a small space probably appears to be an oxymoron. How could there possibly be a perfect meeting of the two?

Well, the honest answer is that in the right home, a sectional brown sofa could actually save you space! Centrally locating sofa pieces within a small living area not only lends to proper seating for conversation and intimacy, but could also make the space feel more spacious.

If seating in one specific spot is not to your liking, with sectional pieces you have the ability to place them however you prefer. This would lend your own personal creative touch to the living room. Small sectional sofa can be a good choice for your small home decoration.
