I think a muddy pink like Sulking Room by Farrow & Ball might look good? Grey can also look good with burgundy but I’m not if it would suit the sofas? Here’s some ideas

I also think one bigger rug would create cosiness rather than 2 smaller rugs, like this.

I also have F&B Skimming Stone, in almost every room, but I don‘t think it would work with your sofa - the grey tone would look a bit off. I agree it would look good with the burgundy/red colours.

Hence my dilemma.

Any other ideas?

I can’t see your sofa too clearly, but maybe look at Little Greene’s Slaked Lime. It comes in various shades or depths. This image is from their website and suggests couloir schemes that go together - the colours look similar to your sofa and the curtains...

This is also from Little Greene but with a darker red:

Thank you. As you can see I already have cream walls and really wanted a change. Looking at the opposite to burgundy on the colour wheel, would F&B Tunsgate Green or Green Ground work - comments please?

Go brave, Farrow and ball 'Crimson Red' ....its only paint!

There are lots of colours that would go, but when you say 'fresh' do you mean lighter and airier or more colourful? The curtains and floor are quite dark and it's possible that the colours that would complement them would make it look cosier but not necessarily fresher, if that makes sense.

There is lots of light - "fresh" meaning contemporary look . Would appreciate your advice please.

Do you like green at all? I have a red rug and muted red and beige curtains and was tired of my cream walls. With the help and advice from Houzzers I chose to paint the walls Cromarty, which is a very pale, soft green-grey. My room is North-East facing, so it shouldn’t work, but it does and I love it. It never feels cold. Green also goes beautifully with red/burgundy. The first pic is my living room, and the rest are samples I found on Pinterest.

Hello Sonia, thank you for your help. We are so tired of our cream walls but are cowards
hence the need for support to be brave We had been looking at F&B Tunsgate green and Green Ground but couldn't find any images to inspire us. Your lounge looks great and the last image with dado rail is the same as ours. I think you may have cracked it! :)

I think it’s a gentle colour, so suits colourphobes. Sometimes it‘s green, and on an overcast day it looks more grey. I’m excited for you! If you go on the F&B website they have inspirational photos. Good luck.
