If you want to combine that couch & that chair (which I love the idea of) The key is throw pillows. On the black couch, I would get a throw pillow that is the same shade of pink as the chair, and fuzzy (because you like fuzzy stuff) For the pink chair, pick a pillow from here... http://homedecor.cafepress.com/rocky-horror_pillows You could put one on the black couch with the pink fuzzy pillow, and one on the chair. The black on the edge will incorporate the black couch, most of them have pink to match the chair, and there you have your rocky horror accent (the denton is for lovers pillow has a heart on it, there ya go!). Tie it in with a funky animal print rug in non conventional colors, I wouldn't go with pink though, or it will look too matchy matchy with the pink chair, maybe just a standard white & black zebra print. I'm not sure what you had in mind for your vintage montage, but you could get some old vintage frames, paint them funky colors if you want (or not) and frame pics of your favs, Tim Curry, Bettie Page, etc. I also came across this lamp, which would look funky with your chair... http://lampstore-com.amazonwebstore.com/Vintage-Accent-Table-Lamp/M/B001KXMD1A.htm?traffic_src=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle I think a 50s mod coffee table would look good, or a table with a piece of glass over it, you could find old pics of Bettie Paige, tear the edges to look like you tore them out of a magazine, and place them under the glass. This might be the complete opposite of what you are looking for, but what a fun idea. I absolutely love the pink chair! And having a pink chair with candy apple walls is very brave, but if you pull it off, how rewarding! With your black couch, you might want to see if you can find one that folds down, they make really cute non-futon looking ones now, sleeping in odd places does take a toll eventually.
