We have just installed new light color hardwood. We purchased a dark room size rug that is a combination of taupe, cream, black, and a dark burgundy that is so dark it looks like a deep plum. We are struggling with curtain and wall color. We thought the plum would be extremely hard to match and would make room too dark. However afternoon sun hits this room and there are two windows and French doors so there is ton of light so need light blocking curtains.

If you want to filter the light match the color of your walls with a sheer fabric. If you need privacy you'll need heavier. I like to extend the curtain walls beyond my windows so I can have a lot of light when I want it.
I would paint the walls taupe or cream and pick two or three of the colors from the rug to use in the curtains with a flowing vertical effect.
