In my opinion you need to paint the walls a very neutral cream or stone colour. If there's a chimney breast you could paint it a plum colour as a feature, otherwise just buy a load of plum/gold cushions for the sofa and co-ordinating artwork.
Any chance of getting the brown chairs covered in plum or black? You can't really keep with the brown theme now you have a black sofa, but black/gold/plum would be lovely.
