Hi Veachjodi, Do you have any photos you can share of the current space to get a better idea of what might work for you?

If kids are not an issue, I would select something lighter than chocolate brown. But as Emily noted above, we really need more information about who lives there, what is the flooring material, what else is in the room, windows, etc. You just can't believe how nosy we designers can be! We don't need to know your deepest, darkest secrets, but if you could share some photos with us, it would help us enormously. And you'll get answers that make a lot more sense!

Without seeing any photos, light and dark wood should contrast well and the green should not be an issue.

Sorry didn't have camara to take pictures. But found a couple saved on file. Hope this can help. Don't mind the people in them either. Thanks for all help and input!!!

The living room comes off the kitchen. The wood work in the house is an medium/light oak color. The walls are lighter green/sage. Let me know if you need more info!

Is there any recommendation for furniture and accent colors? I was thinking dark chocolate brown furniture in here but was afraid it would look better with lighter color since the room already had light colors in it???

I would paint the walls a greenish taupe color with the oak color,what ever color you put in will stand out
