Answer: I have a similar room. I'm really into browns. I used a deep purple and reds work well too

Answer: I think that a golden yellow would work well for the accent color and accessories that have all of the previous colors metioned along with red. Use a patterned fabric incorporating all of these colors as well. Add plain colored toss pillows along with a couple in the same fabric from the woindow treatment or some in a coordinating fabric. Toss a throw over the chair, this makes the room more welcoming and makes your family and friends feel that they will be able to relax and enjoy themselves.

Answer: Red would look so impressive. Example: Red hue color for pillows to use on sofa. A red vase with natural wooden sticks, red coasters, prints with a touch of red in it. You would be amazed how sharp this color red is with the warm brown family. Let me know if you decide to go for it.

Answer: Burgandy's work well with khaki colors and hardwood floors. I have a friend that just re-done her great room; she had carpeting in there before; put hardwood floors in; medium chocolate brown leather sofa, loveseat, and recliner, and bought a Tiffany floor lamp that has the colors of her couch, and burgandy's and tans, and her 5'x 8' throw rug has khaki, burgandy, black, and brown. It's absolutely gorgeous; warm and comfortable. She did in the Old World decor, and it turned out beautiful.

Answer: red or orange with yellows

Name: Grace | Date: June 27, 2008, 7:45 pm |
Answer: We needed kid friendly furniture, so instead of getting a white slip cover couch like I had hoped, we thought it would be best to get a light brown couch. But now I have no idea how to match anything to it. We live on a military base, so we can not do anything too dramatic or irreversable to the house. Any suggestions?
