I would go with navy or cream depending on the look you are going for;)

i would look for sofa in a similar color to the rug
or paint the room in color similar to the rug and get light beige-white sofa
one thing I'm not sure about is I don't think ur floor color works with this shade

First I was going to suggest a camel color sofa, but then I clicked on the Pottery Barn site and the color of the rug is described as "porcelain", so, I am changing my mind, going along with Margo's suggestion of navy and painting the wall the same porcelain blue as the rug.

Hi, for the furniture, I would pick a beige/cream pull the color from the light color in your rug design. You could also do a pale grey sofa. Not saying this is your style, but a suggestion for colors. Good luck, I love the art and rug. Blue is my favorite color. :)

I also like using navy, grey and cream. A mid-grey since navy is so dark.

Thank you all for your comments-----the room has just been painted so I can't do again - sherwin williams- accessible beige---and I am going for a lighter look- the navy seems like what I am just getting rid of- red leather with nailhead sofa and chair and had red oriental rug with navy in it.

If you go gray on your sofa, I'm afraid the wall color would look more muddy. If you're not worried about soil, I would go cream on the sofa, then maybe a blue and grayish/cream print on the chairs.

I love the look of brown and light blues and greys or even a green, either with similar blue and beigey colored accent pillows. Good luck and beautiful pieces! :)

I also have accessible beige so I'm familiar with the color. I think you could go with a charcoal, light beige or brown/taupe sofa. Any of those would work with the wall color and the rug.

A sofa the medium taupe color of the trunks of the trees in your new art would be very nice. Also, with accessible beige (which as you say is far more gray than your pic), if you want a light neutral sofa, go much more beige than cream, just like the color of the paint card. Be sure to take it with you while shopping. For example, tony taupe is the color two shades darker on the accessible beige strip and a color like tony taupe or the color one darker than tony taupe would be great for a sofa color. I also think a charcoal (not terribly dark) would be a beautiful choice.

A slightly deeper blue then what is on the carpet. or cream towreds yellow.

Love accessible beige-it's a great neutral color that works with both gray and beige-it looks fabulous with blues, as well. Like your rug- Since you purchased the rug at Pottery Barn, they should be able to help find a fabric for your sofa that works best with your rug-either light beige, taupe, or ivory -all will look great with accessible beige.

It is great to use a piece of art as an inspiration. I also see the blue in items in the cabinet as well as the blue in the carpet. Too much blue could make the room less interesting. Maybe another colour in a pattern on a pillow and or drapes.

I would go with light blue, grey, white and blue stripes.

navy, with cream piping n print pillow. i assume traditional because of the secretary

I urge you not to go with a navy couch. Couches are a big investment & the goal is to have it be of good quality. Match the sofa to the cream color in the rug! Use the blue shades for the chairs. When you tire of blue someday your chairs are much less expensive to recover or replace. Pillows & throws will tie the sofa in with the wall hanging & chairs...no matter what colors you change out your home to over time. BTW....using this basic color couch allows me to change my decor & drapes twice per year, seasonally. Enjoy!

Teal blue with cream chair with coloured throw.

Nothing more boring than the standard beige/tan sofa. I would go with either a light cream or navy. Actually, without question, if I had your room, I would go with navy. I love rich color. (We just purchased a spicy paprika red sofa, and LOVE it!)


And in the future when you are ready to redecorate again, remember that you should NEVER choose your wall color ahead of your upholstered pieces.

oh dear. You painted Accessible Beige. It isn't quite beige, it isn't quite gray, but somewhere in between. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but the house I moved into 18 months ago, the entire inside was painted Accessible Beige with accents of Tony Taupe. Looked like a big huge cloud landed in the house. Go with the red. If you're going to use something so neutral you'll need pops of lively color.

Check out West Elm Henry sofa done in linen weave platinum color beautiful with leather chairs. Then pillows from colors in print and go from there.

Navy or dark green

Crystalbeachmom, lol, such a different opinion than I have. I just painted my house with accessible beige (with tony taupe accents) and I adore it:). Now, I do just happen to have a red sofa, but that wouldn't be my current choice if I were buying a new one.

ecru or light taupe...or to match the light color in the patterned rug

Charcoal Grey

House2514, please keep us updated on your decisions. It's always such fun to see where these dilemmas lead to.

Light beige lounge suitewith light turquoise accessories will look lovely

Cream or pale yellow sofa would add some warmth to the room. Accent chairs in either solid or patterned blue; pillows and throws incorporating shades of blue, grey and yellow.

Stick with a neutral neutral color.....beige, cream. That way, when you change out artwork and or rug, all you will need to do is recover the accent pillows. A gray or blue sofa may seem like a good idea now, but in a few years, you may get tired of it. And you want to buy the very best sofa you can afford...that way it will last forever. Plus, with a cream or light beige....so much easier to find Seasonal accents...thinking summer, fall, Christmas.

go with a slate blue or a gray color for the couch

I think both beige or blue will be fine. Blue is a cold color, very relaxing and peaceful. Warm is a warm color, more tonic. It depends what you prefer.

Maybe teal with chocolate and beige pillows

Thank you all for your great suggestions. I have been away visiting my little wonderful grandson so am just now seeing all of your suggestions. I sold several pieces before I left- so the red leather sofa and chair and armoire are all gone. Tomorrow I am going to post pics of the four walls in this room. So many of you took the time to post pics- thank you so much for that. I am a huge fan of the accessible beige and the way my house is built it all had to be the same color- first time in 13 years I have been happy with the paint color.

Here are my four walls- I will whitewash stone when room is done if needed to get my light airy look! Any suggestions at all will be appreciated. Thanks so much guys!

TV wall- have seen a 72 inch mirrored panel with scroll woodwork from Joss and Main- media cabinet and will have new large tv- plan on 2 chairs on either side

A long media cabinet will look nice on that wall. Is there room for a chair on each side?

yes- Ann- thats the plan!

House2514 you are pretty rude for someone who obviously needs lots of help!

That is too funny that you just posted this rug...I have the pottery barn pb basic couch in the white/beige color which I love by the way and looking for a rug. I almost bought this one exactly. You may have swayed me, it looks so nice! I highly recommend this couch too!

grandmajim- what in the world are you talking about??? I have thanked everyone and not posted anything "rude" ????

jh17583- pottery barn will sell you a swatch of rug and they usually have it in stock at store- you can keep it for 30 days and then return for refund. I bought it to carry around with me when searching for couch.

Have you found your new couch?

HI ANN- I looked yesterday some and if you go on Havertys site its called Melody in beach fabric- which is light off white or linen color- will look some more this week-thanks for asking! will keep you posted.

Oh, that's a nice sofa!

Hi Ann- tried to post two pics but something not working- the other sofa I wanted you to see is still at Havertys and called Seascape in canvass birds eye sunbrella fabric- if you have time to look- tell me which you like the best- many thanks

That's a tough call. Maybe I like the first one a tiny bit better, but both are very nice! The second has a slightly more casual feel.

The fabric is probably going to be the difference in comfort. The linen should "sit" a little softer than the sunbrella fabric.

House2514, I took a look at both sofas, and they are quite different in style. Melody is more formal, and Seascape is more casual contemporary, so I guess it would all depend on the "look" and "feel" you are trying to accomplish in your room as to which sofa you should get. I thought the stone color for the Seascape might be an option as well.

Thanks Nancy- my same feelings- I want the more casual look- I will check out the stone color also!

Navy couch and cream or a pattern of blue and white side chairs. Spindle chairs, slipper chairs etc. even the white slip covered chairs from ikea would look great. Best of luck it is a very pretty room.
