Decorating help

Hi all,

Could use some help decorating our LR.

We have a white fireplace in the LR. And we are buying a dark brown (almost black) sofa and 2 club chairs. They call the color Walnut.They are throwing in the matching coffee table ottoman for free. I was thinking of putting the chairs on either side of the fireplace on an agle.

What color endtables and other furniture would you suggest? We haven't moved in yet so I cannot post pics. The walls are a yellowish color.

Also what color should I accent the room with? For pillows, throw, curtains, rugs, etc.

Thanks!

Re: Furniture help

I would go with dark wood tables and light colored paint.

Here are some ideas...

Re: Furniture help

I have a dark brown sofa, dark brown coffee and end tables and yellow walls. It looks ok, but in retrospect I would have gotten lighter tables. I think it would look nicer. Not really light ones, just ones that maybe had a mahogany finish instead of espresso.

Re: Decorating help

Why not get iron and glass tables. Check out Pottery Barn's roma collection.

Not a fan of glass or iron. We are prolly going to have kids in the next few years.

Any suggestions for colors? I see that a lot of people are doing that rich red color. Another color I was thinking was sage green. Thoughts?
