Advice on color coordination

[Jennifer]

Hello,

I just moved in with my boyfriend who has a beautiful antique couch/
chair set. The upholstery is is a dark, forest green. The wood on
the furntiure is very dark brown. Our walls are creme colored, and
want to make pillows that will liven up the room. Any suggestions on
what may work?

Yum.

Sage and coral.

A shade of brick red, or burnt orange would be great.

How about plum or burgundy to coordinate?

Whatever you choose, pick a print that has all the colors in it, and use it
someplace to draw them together--a table cover, pillows, a valance, etc.

A really good book for decorating on a budget is "More Splash than Cash", by
Donna Babylon. She has some great ideas. Which are also useful if you're NOT on
a budget!

Here's her website:

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to go with sage, jade green and burnt orange.
