What color walls look good with brown leather couches?

Question

I am repainting my living room, and I just bought a new living room set of furniture. The furniture is (dark) brown leather couches and darker brown coffee and end tables. The walls are already a lighter white/tan color. I want to spice up my living room. I was thinking maybe a dark brown or dark red, but I can't find any pictures to give me ideas. I would really appreciate PICTURES PLEASE. I will also need a color to accent with. Thanks for any pictures/ideas.

I would go with a light teal and get an accent rug and throw pillows to bring everything together.  Pick up some of the other tones in your decorating pieces.  Here is a bedroom that pretty much has what I am suggesting.  I love that rug...lol

Brown Leather Couches Decorating Ideas

Christine · Answer

You want pictures?  Watch Color Splash and Divine Design.  The colors that David Bromstad and Candice Olsen choose to go with dark leather are baby blue walls, with white accents (or try white crown molding), and a splash of an intense color in the form of a vase or pillow covers, like lime green or bright blue.  Candice also spices up her rooms with mirrors and metallic and glass objects with lighting in the form of wall sconces, but floor lamps also work well (in contrast to ceiling lights).  Both designers also use black frames for wall art.  For a touch of the exotic, try a zebra patterned rug, or you might want a persian rug for a deep red accent.  Pattern and texture are also important in freshening up your room decor.  I've seen Candice use a shaggy pillow in off-white faux wool on a leather couch, as well as pillow covers with a bulky weave and a black-and-white pattern or the same bright color as in the vase.

Try not to have the same color walls as your furniture color.
Use some contrast.
Here is a mustard color :http://cdn.decorpad.com/photos/2008/05/16/86d8f24f0ae7.jpg

If you really want to use a brown, use a light brown so you can see where your furniture ends and your wall begins.

Purple or turquoise throw pillows would look great. You could also stay with the mustard color.
