Answer 1

maybe a lighter wall and most definatly a muted gold.

you dont want to look like a chinese restaurant.

maybe like white curtains with pretty gold embrodered flowers or lace or something.

Answer 2

Do NOT get gold curtains!  It also depends on the material you're using for the curtains and furniture.

However, do NOT get gold curtains.

Answer 3

i like it but not the gold curtain I'm going with a no go on that one

Answer 4

Hmmm...I like the gold curtains and brown furniture....BUT....

No, I just googled sage green, and I can totally see it. I'd personally go with a more muted sage green though, because those are all relatively rich colors, which may get overwhelming.

Answer 5

I agree that the sage green should be very muted, so as to not look overwhelmingly different next to the brown furniture. And I second the protest against GOLD curtains--maybe a taupe-colored fabric, or a beige one with gold-like shimmers to make it pop a bit more. Keeping the colors in that similar natural and earthy combination is definitely a good idea, though.

Answer 6

I think gold should maybe just be used as an accent.  I would go with a shade of red for the curtains.
