What goes with yellow curtains?

I've bought some mustard coloured curtains to brighten up a sitting room, I have yellow cushions and a throw - any other ideas on what I can include? Rug in new so don't want to replace that - maybe a picture?

Thanks

Accessories only? Yes, artwork or a nice mirror, lamps or light shade? Vase, flowers?

Teal or chocolate brown or green?

Thanks! Yes, sorry should have made it clearer, thinking about accessories. Other colours are chocolate brown and some dark blue, so ysing the yellow to brighten it up a bit.
I think. One yellow artwork would be good, but I'll need to find something I like (I'm very picky).

Suggestions welcome!

Scuse the mess, I don't have yellow curtains but do have some accessories. The artwork is by Scott Naismith who does colourful Scottish landscapes. It's all personal taste though. I saw Next had some colourful Frida kallo portraits.

Thanks and good luck with your search. This is the mirror we have, it's made from recycled magazines and is quite colourful too, I like a bit of colour incase you hadn't noticed. Grin

I think with yellow , blue would look nice - all a bit Monet - so perhaps a blue lamp shade or blue cushions - am sure it is lovely

You don't want too much yellow, otherwise it all gets too matchy matchy. With yellow curtains I'd maybe have a single small yellow vase or a blue vase with yellow flowers or a carefully positioned book or detail on something else (e.g. yellow piping on a blue cushion, or yellow legs on a sofa or the edge of the door painted yellow) and some yellow in a artwork.

teal or a nice bold royal blue maybe? yellow and blue are gorgeous together. You could use some shades e.g. ochre, navy, bold royal blue etc. Dark teal is lovely!

Emerald green looks nice with mustard yellow. I've just revamped one of the boys rooms with white, emerald green and mustard.

I agree with CountFosco less is more.
