dizzybee

hi looking for inspiration my neighbor has offered us there old sofas there quite new but in purple, i am just about to start redecorating my lounge was going for a neutral colour and maybe a feature wall,but not sure what color carpet would go best with purple, we currently have laminate but find it so cold.
the lounge is quite big and gets plenty of sunlight.
anyone got any ideas please.

Greys go with purple.

I would say greys too or off white.

As the above greys look fab with purple, and you could add a splash of lime green in your accessories (cushions etc) to liven it up!

Definitely grey.

When I try and coordinate a room based on one item (eg I found curtains I loved for the bedroom and the rest of the room was designed around them), I go on Dulux website. Find the colour closest to your item and you'll get coordinating, contrasting, harmonizing eyc colours coming up. Now I'm not saying you have to then buy that brand paint, but get the matching swatches and use them for other accessories and to buy cheaper matches from other brands.

You can get sofa covers made or get them reupholstered if purple doesn't work in the end.

Sofa covers are cheaper and they're removable, but getting them reupholstered is more custom but expensive and they're not removable.
