Dulux Sugared Lilac Bedroom Walls - what colour furniture and carpets to go?

Hi

Just wondered what your thoughts were.

I've just bought a house and have been decorating. I have painted my main bedroom lilac using Dulux paint and am struggling to find black furniture which isn't too expensive - it was going to be black and purple. So now all the black furniture I can locate are way too expensive so I now have to rethink strategy but stuck for ideas.

So wondered whether anyone out there has lilac walls and if so, what colour scheme have you got?

Any ideas appreciated.

Thank you!! x

    I have that paint in my bedroom and my furniture is white-washed wood (it's just a fairly cheap set from Tesco Direct but looks quite nice).
  • I got my bed, which is black metal, from the bed shed for £50 and I got my black metal bedside tables from Ikea, they were £10 each. Alternatively I would get white furniture, which can be quite inexpensive and either a cream or purple carpet.
