I cannot replace my carpet because I am renting. It is a reddish-brown mix berber. I am looking at purchasing two great vintage 1930s chairs that are a light apple green. Will this go together or will the chairs standout as "not matching the decor"? Also, what colour drapes should I buy?

I have been renting since 1983 and have never worried about what colors match the carpeting that comes in the apartment. The way I look at is any guests that you have will know you are renting and won't expect your belongings to co-ordinate with the rug or walls. I would go with cream colored curtains and buy the largest size you can afford and then when you move they will work in the next place too.
I agree with Redhatter. Go with the cream drapes, and maybe some cream and light green pillows or something to co-ordinate. If you love the chairs, ignore the carpet.
