Design ideas for living room with chocolate brown furniture?

I just bought a new living room set. My couches are chocolate brown, my drapes are a cream color with a romantic floral design in maroon and green. I want to get some accents to pull the room together. I want to have a classic french, romantic, but simple style to the room. Does anyone have any ideas?

Design ideas for living room with chocolate brown furniture?
for the wall color, Id go with a sage green that has undertones of brown. Behr: "Lion" would be a perfect color. with the trim in a cream color.


for the classic elegant French look, use some bronze candelabra, picture/mirror frames, vases.


try to get some of the drape fabric to make sofa cushions, or just pull out the individual colors for the cushions.


A nice antique or faux-antique piece of furniture like a Louis XIV armchair would add a nice touch...maybe upholstered in green or marroon silk. An Art Nouveau lamp would look great on a side table or fireplace mantle.
Reply:paint your walls different colors to accent the furniture. try ligts and darks.
Reply:It sounds as if with the couch and the drapes you have enough colour and accent. I would pain the walls a light cream or an off white and I would think that would be enough.. should you require more I'd accessorise with candles/light fittings/mirrors to give the classic french look you are seeking..
Reply:Get some cushions in green,cream and also maroon. Get some cream candles and put them on green or maroon dishes.


Or get a nice rug that suits your deco re.


Mirrors are great, they make the room seem spacious, and light.
