Window Valances

What colours accent chocolate brown walls and cream furniture?

I am redecorating my livingroom, and would like to paint the walls chocolate brown. I have cream leather furniture and oak trim and gas fireplace. I also have wood window valances that have been covered with fabric that would need to be replaced. I just don’t know how to go about it. I think that reds would compliment nice but how do I do it and what other colours would anyone suggest with the brown walls? Thanks

I think red would be too dark with the brown paint and oak trim. A palette of brown, cream, periwinkle blue and a light shade of yellow would be nice, bright and inviting.

Although this is wallpaper, I’ve seen valances in a similar fabric and color that were just gorgeous: http://www.thibautdesign.com/Collection/patternDetailWall.aspx?Pid=300&prdid=2009
