Hi all,
I have just moved into a funky apartment that has a shiny matte black kind of wallpaper (as a feature wall) in the living room. And unfortunately all of my furniture is chocolate brown. I have 2 chocolate brown sofas, dark chocolate coffee table, tv stand etc. and I don’t have enough money to purchase all new furniture.
How can I separate the colours so that they don’t clash? Originally I had purple and deep gold/bronze cushions and accessories to break up all of the chocolate, but I’m not sure if this is going to work with the black feature wall as it makes the room very dramatic?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanking you.
Black and brown together aren’t a problem. You will need to lighten it up though and break up the darkness. Get inspiration here:

try placing a bright color of a portrait on ur wall you can make it work u just have to find out the right color schemes
You could purchase a large mirror or the smaller mirrors in a circle pattern.
Some options are using red, light blue,orange, or maybe even yellow pillows, cutains, table cloth, lampshade,artwork, ext
make sure the color is bright so that it takes away from the darkness of the bown and black.
Btw: maybe u can use slipcovers on ur sofa, chairs, of couch..
Hope this helped, i think it will turn out great!
There is an inexpensive alternative.
You will need to break up the black wall so your brown leather does not fade into the background and be dreary.
I would go to the home decorating section of a fabric store and look at fabrics. These fabrics are 54″ wide and some patterns can be turned sideways (it’s called railroaded) and be purchased by the yard. After finding a pleasing fabric, simply make a wooden frame and staple the fabric around the back of the frame. Hang on the wall and a there you have it– a transformation, right before your very eyes.
