Carpet is greyish/multi in color. Drapes? Dear god we're not even close to picking that out yet :) We are using white 2 inch wood blinds. Drapes may be a decorative valence only. acountryfarm has the almost exact color we're getting in our hallways and downstairs bathroom. For the living room, as it stands right now we like "Harvester" from Sherwin williams (SW6373). We've got about 2-3 weeks to make up our minds. All the other rooms were easy, the main living room has been tough to nail down. Has to be warm/soft hue, good contrast to the leather, not too dark. We're thinking yellowish or greenish tint. No browns, beige, red, or blue. My wife has been scanning magazines for the pervebial "that's it" but we haven't found it yet. Here is a link that might be useful: Harvester color

Thanks for your kind words about the house. :) awm03, I believe you're correct that this house is post-MCM. It was listed as such on Zillow. "Just noting, though, that both the dining and front rooms seem to be visible from the family room, so I'm wondering about visual...symmetry with one very dark and the other very light. Also, painting the dining room dark will make that one set of windows especially dominant during the day." hamamelis, good points! "Curtains aside, they also seem to be asking me for a console or some such thing under the single panes..." I guess that would be possible if the console or some such sat far enough from the wall so that the drapes could move behind it. "Regarding the glass and mirrors, it occurs to me that the front room would change light and character dramatically with all of it gone. And that it can be beautiful when well done and lit." Excellent point. I think I'm not liking it now because there are so many things on it. I was looking at the listing photos and I much prefer it with a few select pieces of art. "Why is there what looks like a little wall sticking out in the middle, though, with the glass continuing on?" It does have a little wall that divides the glass area into two sections. It's just decorative and has been there since the house was designed - no doorway removal. justerrilynn, I like those styles of rugs. I've been eyeing them up on Overstock. I'm going to mull over the light-colored leather sofa idea. My set is getting older, but it's still in good condition, so it might be a hard sell to the BF. Lighter colors and a more MCM design would fit better in this house. I think after digesting all of the advice given, that I'll stick with light, neutral colors and hold off on the deep blue dining room. I suspect that a new coat of paint is going to go a long ways towards making things seem fresh and inviting. Thank you!

Hi Guys! I am back! I am ordering the furniture this week and am going to do my best to go for it but I may chicken out with the bold color on the recliner. If I do chicken out it, will be either lighter or darker brown than the rest of the leather. My next question is groveraxle was so kind to make those renditions with the red accents and blue accents. What are you all seeing more of... brown furniture with blue, brown, and gold accents in pictures and pillows or more brown furniture, with red, copper, gold. I am leaning more towards adding blue. I am afraid of color as you can see from this post and was thinking gray and all forms of brown and beige but I am trying to think outside the box with your help! So with beige wall, curtains and floor, which color scheme do you like best with the brown leather , beige walls and accent chair? The red or blue? thanks!

Oh wow. No. The one I am looking at is by RoveConcepts. I actually love the blue, antique velvet one but husband is nope. on that one. I can't believe that would happen re: link. In honesty, I don't know if I will even get from this company because there is no shop out East, where I am. I am a little nervous to just order online with fingers crossed that it is comfortable. https://www.roveconcepts.com/luca-sofa-leather?aid%5B86%5D=757&aid%5B98%5D=818&locale=en_CA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI367I17u64QIVF7xPCh2wuA13EAEYASABEgL-PfD_BwE
