Paint the walls a darker color than the couch, something that coordinates with the other colors. Perhaps use one deep color on one wall as an accent wall. But if all else fails, a light beige works wonders. Also light yellow, light peach, light gray. You want to contrast your furniture, the sofa shouldn't blend into the wall

I think you should do your walls a tad bit darker than your couch, to make the couch pop as it seems like the lightest thing in the room... I'd do any baseboards or doors in a cream-white color, lighter than the couch, and do an accent wall in either a red or amber. I think it would look very stylish and elegant.

"Potter's Clay" by Glidden. It's a natural earth-toned brown and it will coordinate beautifully with the ivory & the red/orange accents. If that's a little too dark for you, then go a couple of shades down in the same family to "Sculpted Tone" or "Misty Glen."

For a modern look: a bright or dark blue
for a country look: a mocha or oatmeal
for a formal look: gold or soft yellow and then on one accent wall do a faux finish technique in a single glaze with your glaze color in a dark brown (the glaze will lighten the dark color up tremendously )

You furniture and accent colors all are around a fall color scheme. Either pick a color out of one of the accent pieces to complement or go to the extreme other side of the color wheel. I searched colors and you could go into the greens or blues as a wall color. Good luck.
