we just recently painted our livingroom its a light yellow color its called Candle wax. the trim and baseboard were painted a white semi gloss! flooring we have not gotten yet but its going to be a lighter color laminate! i was just wondering what color curtains could we go with beside white? and if we did go with a white could be put a bit darker color scarf valance over the top or do u think it might look funny? any suggestions would be very helpful, thanks!

I think light gauzy white curtains would look the absolute best, but with those colors, you could really have any color curtains you want, even dark ones. Especially if you picked up that same color in accessories around the room such as pillows, throw rugs, vases, artwork, etc.
I think a slightly darker valance would look really elegant.
Best wishes!

I would also look for a print. If you use a solid color your room will look washed out. Even if it is a small print or stripe it will add texture to the room. I for one really like roman shades. A striped roman shade , yellow with a small stripe of green in it , and then a matching green scarf topper would look great.

I think that would look good. If you're making your own window treatments, take your paint swatch to the fabric store and find complimentary colors, or darker shades of the same color. Actually, same advice for if you're buying premade treatments.
Don't forget to coordinate the window treatments with your furniture. :-)

A light lavender would be the complimentary color. If you wanted a bold look, more of a dark royal purple would work. If you want more of a standard look and less a statement, a simple white would be the right choice.

Look for something with multi-colors that pick up the white and yellow. Make sure it goes with your furniture. Too much yellow and white and you get a bland palette.
Floral patterns if your taste is traditional. Abstract patterns if you like contemporary.

A nice beige or tan would look good. It would compliment the pale yellow, and if you ever change colors, you won't have to buy new curtains.
