I just ordered a chocolate Brown Sofa and Love seat. What shade or color should I paint the walls?

Question

I'm no good at deorating, and I just ordered a chocolate brown Sofa and Love seat. What shade or color goes well with chocolate brown furnisher? I dont care for white walls. I really need some color. I really like the different shades of red, browns and greys. But im not sure if they go well with what I have ordered.

Answer 1

Chartreuse with Day-glow Orange trim....What else?

Answer 2

I think I would choose a really warm honey color. It will warm up the room without really popping your eyes out. Then use your reds as accent colors. Find a really great area rug with all of these colors to tie it all together. Then get some really nice red throw pillows and accessories. This would give you a really warm cozy room and the colors are still neutral enough that you can change the look easily by just changing your accent colors.

Answer 3

Chocolate is a nice neutral color. Red has an agreeable symmetry with chocolate, I would caution you on the shades of red that you pick out. In your living room you have some room to play with as far as your shades go.

Also, sage green sounds pretty nice as well. According to my girlfriend who wanted me to say that ;) Whatever color wall paint you pick don't neglect your area rug. Area rugs bring furniture and room colors together and they make a big difference.

Good luck

Answer 4

Reds and browns go great together! But red on the walls might be over whelming. Try 1 wall as an accent. If you don't want white on the other walls try a tan colour on the others. Then use the red in throw pillows and drapery.

Answer 5

Chocolate brown goes really well with ecru (that's a kind of light-yellow brown) but if you say you need more color I would go with light purple-lilac. Also grey it's another good matching colour.. but it not that joyfull...

Answer 6

I think a light tan for the walls and have red accessories and even maybe an accent wall painted red.

Answer 7

hey.honestly, white wud go very well w chocolate brown if u want to essentuate the "brown" of ur sofa. also, u need to consider the color of ur curtains n floor..depends not only on the sofa color but curatins n floor as well. all shud go blending very well...for now, u can try lightest brown for most space on walls n stripes of choco-brown, bordered wz thinnest red lines..u knw wut i mean? paint all the wall wz lightest brown, then put vertical thick lines abt 12 inches or so of darker brown(at big gaps betwin 2 of them) n border it wz red if tats wut u like :-)
..i loveee doin the interior and u can really play wz colors in ur mind...and there r vast options u can chose..im mad abt browns too..i recently did my "hall" n got wooden floors, wooden tv stands, showcase( all r same wood color, even the floor), curtains i took lite brown -tissue material wz darker brown silk material..u know the double curtain thing? walls r white..n the sofas r in betwin dark n light brown...oh i love my "hall"....so u can try differnt things..oh yes the cushion thing can b put to enhance the look. best of luck

Answer 8

the great thing about chocolate brown is that you can pair it up with a variety of colors. depends on what kind of mood you're going for.

something warm like a terra cotta or a coral, cool like turquise, dark like a deep raspberry, or a neutral tone such as khaki or olive.

you should look into colors & feng shui.

Answer 9

Get some colorful pillows and pick a color from the pillows. Red is good and so is gold. Dont go with grey it will not go.

Answer 10

Cream

Answer 11

Hmmm...chocolate brown will look good with almost any color wall paint. I personally think a 'Tan' color or "camel' color wall paint will suit your needs.
