I would look in an analogous direction to those colors. They're not that tough to deal with, they're just sort of unusual. You can accent easily with both blues and reds because because that violet tone is sort of a blending of the two. Magenta also works nicely as do pinks or teals. You can also jump across and (very carefully) use some yellow too. Its common to see people mix a little bit of green as well (though I'm not fond of this). Any neutral (provided its on the warmer side of things or purely neutral like your black couches) will work, but I might only use black as an accent since you have so much of it and because the walls are dark already. You need contrast, something to make the space pop.

Love to see personal styling rather than matchy matchy show home look! I love the cane chairs but you don't want it to look crowded. Though you could put one to the left of the room facing the other way so it's more conversational rather than everyone facing the TV and with their backs to rest of the house. I love that Freedom lounge it'll look great. I'd probably add a rug in a warmer texture even a plain or patterned sisal to soften the dark shiny floor (the dark colour makes your room look smaller and is a bit stark against your nice warm timber) and anchor the furniture together, Freedom and West Elm also have great options.

Hi our 1920's Californian bungalow is painted in Dulux Half Haast, which the previous owners painted about 3 years ago. We want to repaint the window frames and the shingles (which are a mid blue colour), but the weatherboards are in primo condition so we will work around the Half Haast colour. I'd like a charcoal or dark grey on the shingles, and repaint a classic white on the window frames. Does anyone know what Dulux dark grey would go best with Half Haast? At the moment the shingles are a mid blue which makes the Half Haast look more yellow based than grey, so I want to get well away from that and bring the grey tones out of the Half Haast. I'd also like to paint the front and back doors a near black or darker grey than the shingles, if you have any thoughts on that. Thanks heaps!

Thanks, Irene. I spent some time on the Dulux site earlier and came to a preliminary conclusion to use Domino on the back window frames (rather than pure black) and leave the door open to use basalt on the roof. In the mean time I could use Domino (or a lightened version of it) on highlights on the front of the house. Maybe just the very top of the gable frame?
