Choosing Drapes to Coordinate with Room Color Scheme?

I have picked out a dark green for the walls in my library. I have a maroon colored sofa but am undecided on the drapes. I've gone from chocolate brown velvet, to crimson, to light green. I would like velvet. The floors are going to be walnut colored hardwood. The bookcases around the whole room except for the windows are walnut.

The first color that came to mind is a tanish-gold sheer (some light has to come into the room). I have them in my living room - available at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They look wonderful and match everything. I've also seen silk gold and burgundy wide vertical stripes - that might look nice, too. Somehow, I'm thinking subtle tannish-gold is your best bet.

I agree with DaniLion. Either a goldy or tannish color would look great, and not be another dark tone.

"Dark Green" as in....Hunter Green? If so, that would go great with a Beige color. Or a "Tapestry" print with Green, Maroon and Beige in the colors, would be even better!

A patterned multicolored fabric that incorporates at least two of those colors but can also include other colors. The colors you mention bring to mind a conservative type "tapestry' like Karen mentions but that can be a traditional floral or a modern type of print.

The background color should be a lighter/brighter color/shade so the room doesn't seem too dark and dingy.

Dark green velvet like your walls with golden or burgundy sheers under. Beautiful mixed colors silk rope pullbacks would add a rich touch; with those colors in lovely pillows on your sofa. Burgundy velvet would be great, too, to work with your maroon leather.
