Question by newbie: I'm redecorating the living room and just found some great blue velvet curtains. What color should I paint?

The room gets lots of sun (south facing). I'm thinking of either staying in the blue family (maybe even lavendar?) or heading towards terra cotta...

Answer by Toni
you don't want to make the room too dark by painting a dark color so i would do a butterscotch color or a creamy white possibly off white- depends on how much sun...if its too much then don't go off white- it might be too bright...
you could go to a craft store and get pillows/fabric to match the color of the curtians and use those on the couch to blend the room, then get little decorations like an orange figureene *like a buddah doll* and little candle holders with t-lights in them...

just some ideas

OH! another possibility for extras would be a fake plant or two in the corner(s)
