Contrasting colour for sage green?

Our bedroom has a cream carpet and light wood furniture. One wall has the chimney breast in a sagey green paper with bits of grey in it. Sounds horrid but I like it. So we are keeping it. However our curtains are cream and can't afford to replace.

Would like to introduce some more colour. All looks a bit bland. Going to paint walls and was thinking just white to avoid more cream, beige. Maybe a new quilt cover in a contrasting tone.

So any ideas what goes with sage green? Tia.

Argh, stupid phone. Purple accents, heather if you want to keep the overall effect quite soft. Also darker green. Not on the walls though, just in your soft furnishings.

Chocolate brown? Our dc nursery is (pale) green, cream and chocolate brown and it's lovely. Dark furniture though, but might still work with light?

Agree with a heather colour, or a dusty rose pink. A hint of regency.

Very similar to our room, we used a deep red silky throw and curtains!

I haven't decided on my green yet but my dining room is currently waiting for that desicion, it is dulux's raspberry Bellini at the moment with a blank wall. The inspiration for raspberry and green came from Laura Ashley and my favourite rose.
Sitting room is dulux's snuggle up with the same raspberry paint around the window seat and lots of raspberry accents in cushions, lots of white accessories from a rug to candle holders. The cushions are a mix of Laura Ashley pink and green checks and the range faux suede raspberry cushions.

Previously everything downstairs was neutral and I wanted some colour, especially as upstairs is so lovely when you walk past the children's rooms and see lovely warm, vibrant rooms.

Ooh thanks. Lots of lovely ideas.

The wall paper actually has a kind of purple brown in it. Love the idea od dusky pink too.

Off to look at colour charts and duvet covers!

Various warm blues (purply lavender, periwinkle, not petrol) might work as well or grey wedgewood/duck egg.
