houssaon Why not do the wall that the drapes are on in a dark blue to match the fabric and then do bright white on the other walls? I can also see these on a brick red wall: parisian red CSP-1170 Moroccan Red 1309 Benjamin Moore Burnt Peanut Red 2081-10 Benjamin Moore Like the Parisian red the best.

Think about positioning the sectional sofa in a V formation centered on the windows with a square low end table.

Dar Eckert What fabric will you be recovering the sofa with? It looks like you favor traditional styles. Teal would look lovely.

marycifuentes navy borders on the baseboard, and white walls....maybe painting back of book shelf navy too...

Natalie Hi---well love that you're big on color, me too... :) I found some pics for inspiration---perfect with your drapes, lots of color, and all of your lovely pieces you have could easily be incorporated into such a design and color palette. Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

tffaulhaber Thanks so much for the ideas! I was going crazy just staring at that room with blah light yellow walls! I love the white next to the drapes... I painted part of the wall to see it. Love the navy baseboard and bookshelf idea too. I painted the red bricks white...so it's much easier to "see" what colors in the room now

pegwaters I was hoping that you would paint the walls a soft blue, like the blue curtains in Living Room 2 that Natalie posted. Keep the trim white and use Navy on the sofa.

anokasams Pick your sofa covering and then paint the walls with a colour that works with the drapes and the sofa. I assume you could pick a colour out of the sofa covering that would work.

littlemsclimber i like the idea of brick red on the walls next to the drapes but if you painted the brick fireplace white then maybe that is not what you should do....... I would suggest an orange on the wallI around the with curtains and the wall it faces, then I would paint behind the wreath above the fireplace in that little square I would paint it grass green. Then keep the sofas and other furniture neutral and then add navy and green accents elsewhere. Below are some general color ideas you can use.
