I Have Brown Couches, What Color Should I Paint My Living Room Walls?

For dark brown sofas in a sitting room, it is recommended that you use a light yellow color such as the color that resembles the light color of popcorn. This will not only complement the darkness of the sofas but it will also make the room look bright and sunny. The contrast between the dark and light will not be as stark as you may think, it will complement it well.

Another color that will work well is an off white or slightly beige color if you are going for a minimalist appearance.

If you're trying to figure out which color is going to suit your sitting room best, then what you can do is take a picture of your room and upload it to the website RoomVues, which can be accessed by clicking the following link: www.roomvues.com/ Take a picture of the room that you are painting and upload it to the Makeover section.

I have two brown leather sofas and have just brought some brown and dull gold print paper my fire surround and cabinet are both light oak colour and I have original floor how can I make my room look and feel cozy I'm not good dressing the room I need help

I chose a mustard color with a green under tone. Beautitone color , velvet moss, excellent color.

I have brown couches and painted my walls (3 of them) popcorn yellow (it is pretty on the wall don't knock it) and 1 wall medium to light blue and it looks great.  You can then add dark accent shelves on the blue wall or gold trim pictures, it makes them pop.  On the Yellow walls I placed black and maroon or brown accents or pitcure frames.

I would go with a tan color...

Beige or a light tan.

If your room receives a lot of natural light, why not take advantage of it and add sunflowers real or artificial to your rust furniture room? This will add life to your living room. Rust is a great fall color but it also pairs well with yellow. Warm up the walls with a warm tone so that the reflection from white walls do not become too blinding.

I think a silvery blue with dark brown accents. Or Straight up silver gray with a small amount of black accent would be very nice.

A lighter or darker brown....with Maroon curtins and hardwood I think that would look very nice :)

I am in the same situation. It already is painted a light butter yellow with a red wall and I am hoping my dark brown couches go with it! Now my dilema is what color of curtains and pillows???? RED??

I would paint them a soft light butter yellow - it would make the room look bright and sunny and complement both the brown and the red
