dark woods for the furniture will tie in an earthy feeling. keep it clean and present to avoid looking like an ancient house from the 70s.
Try finding some fabric that contains the colors of the floor, parapet and couch and make some simple pillow slips to place on decorative pillows. You could also look for area rugs with those colors. Wall art could also tie those colors together, if you are going to use curtains you have that to work with as well.
Slipcover the couches? That’s a tough color scheme with black leather couches. I would paint – burgundy. Or hang lots of material on the parapet to offset the yellow.
your colors make me reckon of sunflowers or some kind of flowers
Are the parapet really yellow?
I guess with that combination of colors, my first plotting is the black leather is fine. But if you are putting up curtains or drapes, I’d make sure that they contained the colors in the room. (the yellow, green and black) Tie the room together with accents on the wall with prints that include those colors also.
What are you using for metal in the room? Brass, Chrome, Copper, Gold, Bronze?
I wouldn’t use the brass or gold or bronze, it would bring out the yellow.
I reckon the first thing I’d do is paint the room in a different color than yellow.
A lighter shade of green and an off white would work well. If you are courageous you can try a pale misty blue also but that may be a harder shade to get just right.
Your black couch will not be an issue. Just use toss pillows and area rugs with the lighter shade of green. Accent with patterns as long as they share the same colors as I mentioned.
I would also keep the drapes light in color and include the lighter colors mentioned into the throw pillows. A small amount of a rusty cranberry accent might be nice too. That is a hard color to clarify. It is nearly a bronze but not just so. Just stay away from red reds. Only excellent at Christmas and with your colors I would go with a cranberry red for that too.
I’d look for fabric in yellow and black prints and patterns for curtains and pillows. You can use plants to pick up the green in the carpet.
Green black and yellow is not a terrible combo to initiation with. Try using cushions/pillows/throws in plain shades of green and yellow and/or prints with these 2 colors.Area mats wud work well too. Pics with green frames and yellow flowrs wud do well too. Use a combo of sap green color and a creamy yellow if parapet r dark but if they are light, sunny yellow wud brighten up the black & h/green. Yellow is a cheerful color for a income room. Play around with it.
