Prune 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 Hi all, Need some help, I am getting a red sofa (blood red) for my living room, I want to ask for suggestions of the feature wall and the surround walls. Anyone know what will looks good? At the same time I do not want the whole place to look very dark and gloomy. Sorry and thank you for all responses.

How about white paint for the walls and glossy black laminate or black tinted glass for the TV feature wall and console? What color is your floor?

My floor is those milky white glossy homo tiles from HDB. Hmm Black Laminate...I am thinking of dark grey with those shining "dust".....if not maroon....what do you think?

zapped 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 dark grey is good. If your sofa is solid red in color, then you can go for laminates/wallpaper with designs/patterns... depends on the look that you're aiming for. based on the color of your sofa, i think most likely you want modern or contemporary theme, right?

voxy 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) Walls - white Feature wall - raw timber This will soften the hard solid color..... don't forget still got curtain soften the whole feeling. I will opt to soften the look. Else when you have too many colors, you get giddy at home. If however your sofa is a Cassina or B&B, I will put everything in very light tones or white and make the sofa the center pc of attraction. Sorry, why do you need a feature wall? It is passe liao....

Better keep simple since you choose to use furniture color as the focal point. All other color combo should be earth or neutral tone. Ha ha.... try not to put those feature wall... I find it outdated and also waste of money. The worst ones are those with lights flying out from the side of the box.... super cina....
