A Design Question

Ok I admit it, I have a phobia of committing to any design or style. But, it is now or never and I need help! We are working with a blank slate. I would like purple/eggplant walls and accents

We ordered a sectional in this color:

We ordered this table:
http://www.mybobs.com/productimages/590/900/LivingRooms/OccasionalTables/Jackie/JACKIE_JackieCocktailTable1.jpg with all brown leather ottomans.

If not notice, the lines on the table are black. Does this mean I need to stick with all black furniture? Or can I go with something like this:

We liked these curtains:

and a rug that is brown/light tan shag.

Do I need to have all black furniture? Isn't that what I am supposed to do? Match it to the coffee table? HELP PLEASE I cannot decide!

Re: A Design Question

no you do not have to stick with all one wood color. just keep with the same feel or style of the furniture. I feel that you can have 2-3 different wood tones in a room and bring it all together by repeating those colors in decor. HTH! Chat Icon

See the other colors are already in this table for you. The black table, and the two different color browns in the ottomans. I love how black & brown look together. Go for it.

ETA: sorry I saw that you wrote all brown leather ottomans. But brown is brown and you can bring that in, in the decor (like the curtains).

I appreciate your help because I admire your ability to put things together! Do you think brown like cherry furniture or black? I feel like if I go with cherry then I can add in purple and brown to the mix.

HELP!

I love Cherry Wood, but I think you can go with brown as well. The table in the pic looks like Cherry Wood. GL!Chat Icon
