Decorating Advice?

Question

I'm looking for window treatments for my living room. My couches are somewhere between an olive green or a moss color. I don't think it is wise to try and match curtains to that color. So, what color should I go with? An earthy color...some kind of beige or brown?

Answer 1

Have you considered gold? There are many shades available, from a dark, rich gold, to a light, pale shade. All of them would complement greens nicely. (Try www.jcpenney.com.)

Answer 2

If your couch is olive green, I might suggest a darker shade very dark olive or moss color for drapes. I think that the two colors would compliment each other and really stand out very nice.I would paint the walls in light shades like almond colors, would be a good accent .

Answer 3

Stick with beige. Brown would be too heavy. I think a real light green would also look good with your couches. There is a color called sage that is a light green that would look very nice. Bring them home, try them, and if the color doesn't satisfy you, take them back to the store.

Answer 4

A good decorating tip is to pick out a fabric with a color pattern that you like that matches whatever the main colors are that you must keep. Then take the piece of fabric to the store when you make your choices and use the highlight or accent colors from the piece of fabric. Can't go wrong.

Answer 5

you could go with beige or a beige and brown print or something with a little gold in it or even a green and beige print, if your green is mixed in a print it doesnt have to be an exact match.

Wood blinds and a cream and tan print drapery would go great.
