Where do I start with this picture?
Hi ladies,
You guys are SO Helpful on here!!!
I'm in love with this living room.
But where do I start?
*WHat color do you think the wall is?
*I have pets, so a white couch is out. What color couch can I do without taking away from this look?
THANKS!

Re: Where do I start with this picture?
Start with the couch since you have pets. Try to find a slip cover you can remove and wash. It's a pretty common style so I think they make it a bit darker, like a sandy or beige color. Then pick a light neutral paint color that will look good in your room with your light conditions.

Re: Where do I start with this picture?
Nice room! You don't have to get everything exact, just use this as inspiration. Is your room the same layout?
Get a few paint samples of beige/taupe colors and see what you like best. Then look for a sofa, I'd go with a darker tan color like this if you have pets:
You can find a jute rug like that at west elm i'm sure, but from experience jute rugs are kinda hard to clean. I hated ours. It always had dust/cat hair underneath it and it got so ruined from me trying to clean/vacuum it. They look great, but not practical IMO.
Check out homegoods for green accents and pillows.

Re: Where do I start with this picture?
i think you can go with a dark beige or brown couch and keep the look of the room, maybe even a light gray. the paint color looks similar to one i used which is BM elephant husk.

Re: Where do I start with this picture?
you can totally do a white couch, Ikea makes one with a slip cover, you can just take it off and wash/bleach it.

Re: Where do I start with this picture?
what a gorgeous room! for paint, i just bought gobi desert from Behr. It looked just like a BM shade (can't rmemeber which one) that someone here recommended but was $15/gallon cheaper. It's a nice, neutral color.

Bonnie seriously  this room!
I agree with the PP- just get a slip cover you can wash. As far as the coffee table, I'm almost positive I've seen it in JCP ro raymore and flannigans.
The couch and chairs are pretty standard- you can even go to Bob's and get the furniture and maybe get a slip cover.
Also if you didn't want to go all white on the couch, you could maybe do a neutral colored cover, like this:
And check overstock for the rug- they sometimes have some really great sales on Jute rugs

Re: Where do I start with this picture?
We got a sectional from macys that is microfiber. I know that they have couches the size you are looking for. I suggest the microfiber because everything comes off them. My son has colored my couch, my cat has thrown up on it and my husband has spilled red wine on it. I would start by looking there maybe.
p.s. - pretty room!

Re: Where do I start with this picture?
Thanks!
I saw that when I was searching but if you scroll down it looks like the green is actually a different hue of green.
Not sure which color is the actual color of the chair.
