bonus room design board

I have been trying to find a coordinating fabric to go with the curtains in the bonus room (Dwell Studio’s Bella Porte in Twilight).  I knew I wanted to introduce another color so it wasn’t so monotonous and think I may have found the winner this weekend.  Introducing my “design board”.  Its pretty LB but does give me a clearer idea of how everything will look together.  The peacocks are random art I found on Etsy that I thought would look cute in the room.  The green floral fabric is Robert Allen’s Les Fauves.  The brown below symbolizes my brown couch.  The husband thinks the chairs are the worst things ever but only because they have casters.  Seriously.  I don’t even think you would see the casters in the carpet but whatever.  They are just stand-ins in hopes that I find something I love even more {along with a price tag I can also love}.

The nice thing about going with the green is I can continue to use my Ikea green and white striped fabric {the color is off above but I know the real fabric will look great}.  I could also keep my music chair and all my IKEA photo boxes, magazine holders, etc.  Do you like it or should I go back to the drawing board?
Another color combo I thought would be cute is the navy and brown with corals and oranges like below.  More etsy art to tie the look together {this isn’t necessarily the piece I would use but I do like it}.

I personally am leaning more towards the green accents but am open to any suggestions.  Any other color combos I should be considering?  Remember, the Dwell Studio fabric, coffee print, mirror and brown couch are here to stay.  Also keep in mind it is pretty much “my” room and is where I do all my blogging and crafts – so it also has to be fun!
