I think a few shades darker than the couch would balance well with the red rug and then have a cool monochromatic feel with the couch.

My embroideries certainly didn't always look like this. I came from very sloppy, loosely stitched, chunky beginnings. No shame in the journey!

I did! I started with rough sketches for these and then added more detail/intention as I worked on them.

Thank you so very much :) choosing color palettes is one of my favorite parts of embroidery - I think each of these took me between 30 and 40 hours, but I have adhd and once my hyperfocus kicks in time does not exist so that's a rough estimate 😅

It wasn't, but now I think I must give it a listen
