Dark brown carpet and hunter green furniture what color should I paint the walls and color/type of curtains?

Green is a tough color.  When you have a couch that is a color as strong as hunter green, you know you are going to have to tone it down in other areas.  Pair your green couch with a dark, brown rug and you will definitely have to find a way to lighten up your room.

When you combine dark brown, light brown, hunter green, and black in varying increments, you can have a room that looks very stylish and contemporary.

My suggestion for the wall color would be a cafe au lait or a mocha.  Stay away from yellow undertones in your paint, as they cause an odd reflection to come from the green in the room.

For a window treatment, you could go for with a patterned mocha curtain to contrast with the walls and carpet or a roman blind in a neutral color.

On your floor, you can relieve some of the dark brown color in the rug by placing a large area rug in front of your couch.  A rug such as this contemporary ivory area rug lightens up a dark floor and gives a sense of style and continuity to your space.

A collage of black picture frames looks great on a mocha wall.  Find varying black frames for photos and art work, then add a few decorative pieces in black such as a clock or wall sconces.  Experiment with different pieces and use your imagination, the result should be a great room.
