What colour and pattern for curtains

I have a small den that I need advice on what colour and pattern to use for curtains.  My sofa is grey and the walls are painted Sico 6210-41 Resonant Triangle.  My floors are a light hardwood.  I wanted to add a colour to the drapes but not sure which direction to go.  I will be putting in a area rug once I pick out my drapes.  Any advice?

Hi, windsor!

Have you considered getting your rug first? I often find rugs can be such a great source of inspiration for colour and design.

I also remember Michael Penney once said "Often the design of a beautiful space actually begins with the rug and wall colour, then fabrics and furniture follow."
