So I'm faced with a dilemma...

I have some ideas on how to bring color into my little house without any major redecoration, but now the problem is what colors to bring in. 

I'm starting with the living room since all I really plan to do is make some new throw pillows. Easy peasy.  Our couch is in the evergreen family and we have always coordinated with traditional colors of brown, burgundy and different shades of green. I'd like to break out of the rut but my issue is that our tiny dining room which is part of our tiny living room is painted burgundy.  Although they are separate rooms in theory, they are nearly adjacent and therefore have to somewhat coordinate.  I've got it down to two very distinct color palettes but I can't decide.

Take the poll!

What do you guys think?  Of course I'm drawn to the pink/burgandy/evergreen combo since that is what I know - it is a bit of a fresh take though and would liven things up without upsetting the balance too much. On the other hand, I LOVE the blues and greens and think that it really pops and adds a nice feel to the couch. 

I have toyed with the idea of doing all pinks on one side of the pillow and blues on the other side, so I could flip it over but it could get a little crazy - cost wise and pillowise.

One last thing - these are the colors of the dining room. 

 

I apologize for the sub-par pictures, I haven't quite figured out the light in this house yet and it really is nearly impossible to get a decent shot of anything without good lighting - especially when it's back lit.

I like the pinks, burgundy's, and greens! The others look good too, but those are my favorites!! Love all of those fabrics!!

I think either is going to be fine, but I like the blues best. This is odd for me - usually I would not choose blue. But I think it will give you a nice little happy surprise of color in an otherwise burgundy room. :)

I like you, love them both, but I think I would go with the pink because of the other room, but I also like the idea of doing one color on one side and the the other color on the other side. It gives you more options.

I say pick two of the blues and one of the pink/maroons to make it pop! Amy designed them all to work together, the olives in the background all work with one another. I'm liking that dining room wall!
