Look at the sofa in daylight and under your evening lighting. Beige may lean towards sand, honey, grey, pink or ivory. Check the floor, curtains and furniture too. Choose one main colour for the mural and one or two supporting colours already present in the room.

Sage foliage, misty hills and ivory skies create a gentle atmosphere. Grey-blue or deeper green gives the wall more presence. Warm beige can work with touches of ochre or terracotta. Contrast also depends on detail: a busy drawing attracts more attention than a broad soft wash.

Furniture will hide part of a mural behind the sofa. Choose a crop that keeps key features visible above or beside it. Compare views using your actual wall dimensions, allowing space for artwork and shelves rather than creating too many focal points.

Screen colours do not replace a printed sample. Compare the palette with the sofa fabric and other materials under your own lighting, at different times of day. Ask the Moodwall workshop about sample availability and conditions before making your final choice.
