Purple sofa - what colour paint for walls?

Looking for some advice/inspiration!

We have bought a very purple sofa for the conservatory. I'm in love!

However, it's such a bold statement I'm now wondering what colour to put on the walls.

For context: we have dark wood flooring and the room is mostly wooden windows (will be painted white). There isn't a great deal of wall space and lots of light. I do have some lovely soft gold colour furnishings that I would like to use (rug/cushions/vase).
What would you choose? I'm thinking along the lines of a pale creamy colour, although DP is very beige/magnolia averse! I'm also worried that the sofa will stick out and look odd, should we use other purpley tones to match?

I have purple sofas. We painted the walls in a lovely grey. It's called 'engraved locket' from the Dulux Classics range.
