So I've just moved into my house,I've chosen this wallpaper for my fire place Any idea what colours to do the remaining walls it's not a massive room it's L shaped.
I bought a green colour but it's just too dark and I have no idea what to pick now.

What colour is your sofa?

Chocolate brown fabric

Definitely need a lighter colour on the walls. Personally, I would go with a dusky pink or duck egg blue. Just an fyi I read yellow brings on headaches. I had a mellow yellow years ago in my living room and can confirm.

Good luck, let us know what you choose. I’d have a few green plants dotted around the room too, always helps to ‘lift’ the dark furniture.

I like it but agree maybe not with a brown sofa (make me think of those green sweets with chocolate in the middle) however if you bring in another colour it will balance I reckon, maybe a dark dusky pink or mustard with some pattern on it.

I like the green, it's giving me mid-century modern vibes along with the wood and the brown sofa. I'd maybe limit the paint to a feature wall if it is too dark, keep the rest light, add in a light coloured rug (which will help bounce light around too) and some brass accents or go neutral on the walls and add in green accents. Photo inspiration below.
