A Suprising Scheme!

Having gone Sofa shopping with a friend a few weeks ago, I fell in love with a green velvet sofa in 'sofaworks' of all places. I don't know whether you have been sofa shopping lately but, there is a plethora of ugly/boring sofa's out there.
I loved the mid century/ vintage feel of this sofa, if you ignore the stripey cushions it is a beaut!

This got me to thinking if I was to go for such a colour sofa, what kind of colour palette sits well with green?

I came across this image on Pinterest and was struck by the purple tones! Anyone who knows me will know, purple is one of my least favourite colours. However when I started researching greens with purples and pinks. I came across some stunning schemes.

The acid tones of the greens sit so well.

The different textures with the green, purple and pink hues are so pretty. Love the floral accents too.

I am definitely  hoping to bring this colour scheme somewhere into my new house. What do you think, are you a fan of the greens & purples?

Miss Wong & a tour round my living room.

Today I thought I would give you a tour around my living room, I ended up primarily with a blue scheme purely because it was the only nice sofa I could find with a Mid- Century feel.

I find  blue can feel quite cold so, I decided to add some olive green tones with the

Sanderson swallow canvas which I made. I also found the perfect ceiling shade at Dunhelm! 

I was also extremely lucky to find 'Miss Wong' at a local antique shop, she manages to bring all the colours of the room together.

I had alot of vintage orange glass from the 60 ' s & 70's and my 60's rocket lamp which work perfectly just to add a few accents of orange throughout.

When I try to describe the colours involved in my living room, I think people find it hard to imagine them going together. Just having a few splashes of orange really helps to warm up the room. Hope you enjoyed the little tour :-) Any interior questions be lovely to hear from you.
