Orange or green would work well since the couch is black or you can create a patterned wall with these colors too. Good luck with your project!

how about a large piece of art that picks up the colour of the *sofa as an accent.


*edit; shld read: picks up the colors of the pillows :-)

What other furnishings do you have in the room and which is your favorite color? What is the height of your ceiling? Think broad modern stripes or decals in any of those colors and/or a large canvas with huge circles based on the ones on the cushions. Have fun! Wish we were there to help.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I gave all my furniture away to my sister so all I have is a TV and TV stand in my living room at the moment. Its a town home and another thing I'd I can't tell which wall would be good to even do the accent wall..I like the idea of a big piece of art that matches it. Orange or green sounds good too...I'm glad I asked because I thought about hot pink. Its no blue in the pillows, that purple. I thought about more pillows too because I'm not a fan of the leathery looking pillows. My favorite color is blue and I'm sad its not any in the couch. The height of the walls are normal height, if I stand on a ladder I could reach them..

These are pictures of the living room..not sure which wall to do..

lime green would be very good.

...and I sort of like that warm orange from the pillows -- you'd go several shades lighter, but even then it wd really pop. And add warmth -- very lively,

I think a nice modern, orange color, and a bit of a darker, more rusty color to go around it would accent it nicely.

Thank you all for your wonderful input..anybody know a good place for area rugs? I'm trying to make the place cozy but its hard because there is no carpet

I probably would do the main wall (the full wall).

Don't know where you are, but if you have a Tuesday Morning, check it out for rugs -- v. good where I am! Sam's Club occasionally also.
