a friend is redoing her livingroom and is giving me a black leather and beige micro suede sectional. my livingroom is shades of gray, black and a little white. but I've a very comfortable dark brown leather chair, that I don't want to get rid of. how can I combine these pieces to make the room cohesive or can I? I have a very small budget but I am creative with found pieces usually but I'm just 'out of ideas' right now....Help!!!

    It all blends, its a matter of placement in the room

    The beige should be ok, just put in a couple of beige accents in the room to bring it together The dark brown chair should be fine, there is nothing wrong with having something a different color in the room, especially if it is a comfortable one that people like to sit in. Perhaps a small blanket that has the room colors draped across some of the back would help to bring it into the room. Good luck, you can make it all go together!

    You could also add some bright colors to the area in the form of throws, pillows. Throw caution to the wind. All the color you names are nuatrails so give it a whirl. Good luck

    Some inexpensive posters/artwork (make your own with samples? abstract?stencils? repurposed and painted frames?) throw pillows, runners and/or rugs with your color combo. At the end of the day, make it you!

    I‘m having a hard time picturing a black leather and beige micro fibre sectional but I think if your chair is very dark brown it might work if it is not too close to the sectional and maybe with coordinating throw pillows to tie it in. What I don’t think will work with it all is gray. I assume that might be your wall color and you might look at a griege paint that compliments your old and new furniture.

    If you love it, then use i! You can always use a throw or some pillows that have some gray or black in them on the brown chair to pull some of that color to that piece. Also, you may use some brown in other parts of the room, like wooden accessories, that could pull brown in other areas as well.


    Good luck!

    Who says that furniture has to match? You can use throw pillows to sort of tie the pieces together.

    It sounds like the pieces should work together in the space. My only concern is that it maybe too much furniture in the space. Typically sectionals are large pieces of furniture and generally take up the majority of the space in a room. If you have enough space my suggestion would be to accessorize the brown chair with complimentary pillow colors that you are using on the sectional. Next, try not to place the chair too close to the sectional so the brown and black will not have to compete with each other.

    To bring in a little more black you can paint your end tables black or pick up some that you can paint black. Also and inexpensive black lamp. Don’t overdo the black but small objects in black scattered about the room will add balance and make the room look coordinate.
