I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes. . . I am moving into an aweseome new apt. in a converted Victorian house. Yay!  Now comes the hard part.  My boyfriend and I are inheriting a lot of mismatched furniture and while I some stylish pieces, I feel like I'm lost in a sea of jumbled pieces.  The newest addition is a burgundy chair my mother got at a garage sale for $50. Awesome right?
Problem is I'm not a huge fan of burgundy (in clothes yes, furniture? hmmm) Not only is it burgundy, its bulky.  My boyfriend loves it for its comfort and I have no idea what to do with it.  My theoretical color scheme involved grays, golds, whites, neutrals, dark wood, no burgundy! So my question is, can someone suggest a nice color palette that would match with burgundy (in keeping with the other colors I had in mind, or something like them) or should I just give up and get a slip cover? I am looking to purchase a cover for our other couch, a rug and pillows so those are the questions of color I have in mind.  Thank you so much for any help!
 

 
P.S. This is not in my home, I have hardwood floors and taupe walls.
