I have a cornice board covered in a printed fabric and i would like to know if i can use a geometric print on the pillows or a stripe and use navy blue for some pillows to add some interest? My sofa is a beige with some gray in it. Suggestions?

Valance in teals, beige, brown, cream

I love your fabric. Stripes, smaller scale prints and geometrics would all work well with it. Do you know the name of the manufacturer and pattern?

Your top two paint colors have a lot of gold. The lighter brown of your fabric is more taupe. I wonder if something in a lighter taupe would be a better choice for the walls. Here is Sherwin Williams' read on your fabric colors. Perhaps one of these would work better on your walls. The Shitake color looks like a good option

Stripes, yes, in the beige family, and the dark color with beige.

these are the paint colors i am trying to choose from. Excuse the mess :) Im leaning towards the second color from the top. I added a better pic of the fabric above the window. I also have a distressed tv stand in the dark teal color. I also like the bottom color.

The fabric manufacturer is P/Kaufmann Fabrics. I do not know the name of the pattern.

The drapes are not staying. I may just go with a solid and do a geometric print rug in a lighter color and small scale print.

I did a google image search and it came up as Duralee Peacock, which is discontinued. I found a coordinating fabric in the book and did find someone who still sells it.

I love jute-I have one myself-but I think that rug could work as well. It's not rustic or farmhouse though. Definitely more on the traditional side. Looking at your fireplace, I think jute would work nicely with it but it would help to see what you're working with for furniture, etc.

I love the show Fixer Upper where Joanna Gaines uses jute rugs in her rustic farmhouse designs.
