yes I did - but nothing seems to be what I'm looking for. Thanks.

A couple of photos I found. Not sure if these fit what you had in mind.

This space was just recently in a Houzz story, and it's got neutral sofas/walls with gold tone accents for the lighting:

And this one has B&W furniture with gold coffee tables:

Wall color isn't taupe, obviously, but it could be.

so maybe mix black and white with gold with the taupe walls,, instead of just solid white or black. was wondering if an all black couch with the taupe walls would be too much! thanks for the pics.
