dull pastels or colors like olive , peach , camel ,mouse, matted gold etc ( depending upon what color floor / carpet and furniture u have ) for more ideas go to HGTV.com
you are a genious! lol....olive would be nice! so would a gold tone.
X2...you are right...everything has to tie in together.
I dont have a digi cam (yes Im so behind with the time) but I'll see if I can get someone to take it for me and I'll post it soon umm as soon as I figure out how to post it :D
As far as my style is concerned....it's still evolving. The office is more on the traditional style....dark wood furniture with carvings and antiqued hardware. I have hardwood floors....not too light in color and not to dark. Not sure what color they call it. I have a rug that has dark browns, maroons, olive and apricot-like colors in it.
oh! and the color is a flat maroon....a DARK maroon.
Also...my ceiling is a bright white right now....looks brighter then it is because of the maroon walls. Im thinking about painting the ceiling as well...maybe a v beige-like color (light of course)....did it in our dining room and it looks nice if I must say so myself.
