1] curtains/drapes - should match the walls, the bedding or upholstery, or both.Basement, kitchen, bathrooms could have plain miniblinds, if desired.
2] all bedrooms and rooms with upholstered furniture should have extra throw pillows, in color of walls, fabrics, or combo of both.
3] adult bedrooms and LR, DR, possibly some bathrooms should have candles in colors of walls or accessories. Short fat ones look nicer in bathrooms. NO CANDLES in rooms where children are unsupervised!
4] All rooms should have some type of artwork. This can include paintings, posters, photos, framed childrens' art, floral swags, wreaths, quilts. Hopefully, they match some of the room colors.
5] All rooms should also have some greenery - a plant, a flower, a floral wreath or swag. [ my son's room has a fake cactus! ]
6] pick a metal you like to use throughout your home - brass or chrome. You can move things around, and they will still look good. Use for mirrors, picture frames, lamps, ornaments.
7] ocean room could have a fish net on the wall with fish, shells, or little mermaids in it. Add some starfish and shells as paperweights or dishes.
8] home office could have fake bearskin rug, mounted [ fake or real ] antlers, tiny pine tree greenery.
9] kitchen - put away everything you don't use several times a week. Leave out decorative items such as ceramics, etc. Get
curtains and placemats that complement the red, beige, brown, and steel. [ ivory lace or eyelet? ]
10] all baths should have a second color that complements the first.
lavender ice [ light blue ] add a deeper blue shade for rugs, trash bin, toilet brush holder. Use accessories in combos of lt. blue, white, and darker blue - soap dish, toothbrush holder,
tissue box, etc. Use short fat lt. blue candle in white or dk. blue holder, and tiny plant, if room.
iris bath - use the purple of walls for candle, white or green for holder, green for rugs, trash, etc., ; and purple, white and green for accessories.
brick - use black for rugs, trash, toilet brush holder, and gold and white for accessories. Use brick candle, and tiny plant.
11] Hallways - should have art work, and plant if table. this great spot for collages of family photos, friend photos, and vacation photos. If you have lots of small ones, you could make collages for each subject.

wow!
hallway - green plant on table. picture of garden (or something similar) with white mat & black frame or mirror with silver frame
guest room - use royal as an accent. throw pillows, vases, a picture incorporating all the colors, or several plates in a blue and white patteren hung on a wall. a couple of books with bue spines stacked on a night table with a white lamp on top.
living room - a couple of plants, some books, again a painting/picture incorporating all the colors found in the room. reddish-orange would be a great accent color in small doses...a vase of yellow flowers, a couple of small throw pillows (the same red as in the kitchen would help to unify the rooms)
dining room - a little yellow would put some zip intot he room and you could use it in the kitchen as well. small items again.
den - white shells, pictures painting of the ocean, a touch of yellow adds sunshine.
it seems that none of the rooms have any unifying color...so the yellow could work as such. you could also use blue or white. the yellow adds puch and is often an overlooked color. the particular shades you use would be what makes the difference.
hope this helps.
