Looking for inspo for my double living room. Part of one wall will have a metallic tinge wallpaper - either the silver or gold one in the image (both have the same pattern). Which do you think is better, and which of the 3 swatches do you think will go well with the wallpaper for a new sofa? Thank you.

The silver looks more harmonious with the blue to me than the gold. Both the left and bottom swatches would work I think - the one on the left would create a calmer, more serene feeling and the darker one on the bottom maybe a more sumptuous/luxurious feeling, so it depends on which of those would suit your room more. If pushed I'd go for the paler one, it seems to 'sing' a bit more with the wallpaper.

I like the one with the 2 birds

Oooh I really like all the blue fabric swatches but have you considered green to pick out the foliage colour on the wallpapers?

Omg they are both so beautiful that they made my mouth water

The silver has the edge for me.

Absolutely gorgeous. The blues and silvers for me. Really classy and restful.

Thank you. I wonder if the silver will make the room feel too 'cool' or even 'cold' but agree it goes better with the blue or kingfisher swatches. The room has windows facing east and west so will get morning and evening sun.

Sticking to the 'rule of 3' ie a pallette of 3 colours, would the following green look good for armchairs? The other colours these come in is dark blue which I find too dull.

Or Ribera chair

What colour/material will the floor and what wood will the other furniture be?

Just wondering if that may make a difference. I like both btw.

I love the gold with the darkest blue. So rich and warm. The silver is beautiful but would be too cold and grey for me.

Silverfizz · 07/08/2024 22:20

@DeliciousApples that's a very good question. The walls are a warm white now and I have no idea what I will eventually paint them. I like the idea of a metallic gold if I go with the gold wallpaper but i dont think silver will look too dull for walls. Floor is engineered wood see pic. Won't have money to change that for a bit It's a large room (13m long) so I might zone it into 2 or 3 sections with wall colour.

I think those armchairs might be too yellow-y, a green with blue undertones would go better.

Rene chair

Boone chair

These ones from the same website look like they'd fit well
