I am so rubbish at this... if you had a living room with cream walls and wooden floors and brown leather sofas, what colour...

[emkana]

... curtains would you go for?

what kind of wooden floors? dark or light?

Orange.

Biege/sand or dark brown with a sandy colour in it.

we have got all of the above, with cream curtains that have a beige, brown and duck egg bluey colour stripe, with similar colour cushions on the sofa

I have cream walls, wooden floors, dark brown rug, black sofas, dark brown light shades and curtain pole and went for mocha colour curtains, looks alright

any bright colour with bright cushions....

add some colour ....beige is a total dull

something vibrant like purple or red

This is my living room! I played it safe and have cream curtains but would love duck egg blue/teal for a splash of colour.

duck egg blue

or

rich deep red

then pick up the colour with cushions/lamps

I'd go for something that has a bit of colour in, like Nancy's duck egg blue, or maybe some red. Otherwise it has the potential to be a bit samey, if all tones of brown/beige. (imo, of course)

Burnt Orange
or
turquise
or
fushia pink
or
duck egg blue

all depending on the material.. I'd go for a shiny material if opting for pink a heavy woven material if orange

duck egg blue

or rich reds and oranges

the floor is lightish oak

if everything else is v plain then be bold and go for something with an abstract design, something bold not twee.... but depends what you're like!

i'd say duck egg blue / stone / orangey...

Terracotta/cream, or dark red/cream.

I'd probably go for a pattern. Maybe something reddish on a cream background. Just tried to find examples on John Lewis's website and struggled, I quite like these

what about these

cream!

reds and golds in a pattern to make the room unbland with all plain,

I think I'd pick a warm colour like orange, red or pink, maybe in a pattern. I have similar colours but my sofas are brown tweedy, not leather. I have a purple and orange painting, and purple and orange accessories (including christmas tree decs when the time comes). Might sound foul but it's actually really nice.

I have cream walls with one chocoalte brown feature wall, chocolate brown sofa and beige/cream carpet.

We have beige curtains with a brown panel at the top (in Next catalogue also do teal ones)

can't you paint the walls a nice colour?

paint the walls orange.

get blinds.

The room has only just been decorated.

I am not keen on patterns, was thinking a fabric for the curtains that is textured.
