This is a small dining room in need of a new paint color curtains and light fixture. The only thing I do love are my chairs but I don't know how to work with color in this room.

Super cute chairs! Love the set. I wouldn't really go with a color on the wall neutrals are nice so it doesn't make the room so busy when your start adding colors and patterns :) I would first find you a accent color, or a color scheme. then I'd get you a new rug for the space. a 5X7 would be great. Then find you a solid curtain in one of those colors not sheer. I would add a nice center piece something tall (vase with flowers). Or do maybe like a vintage box in middle with flowers to play off your chair. Id start there.

Your table/chairs/floors are all gorgeous! Perhaps the walls should be something linen colored. Drapery panels could then be just a shade or two darker. If there is room, you could add a painted accent piece. I love the collage that CC posted. That would add some color, too.
