    I would go with a very pale creamy yellow. It will make your furnishings shine!

    i would go with a very pale creamy yellow also and use gold accessories to balance it out Oh and a big oval mirror on the wall opposite the window. Brings in light!

    Absolutely! That's what my bedroom is now and I've been able to mix and match things differently in there for three years now!

    i love the idea of a very pale, creamy yellow. With the burgundy curtains and just the right touches, this could be come a very relaxing, elegant retreat for your guests! Merry Christmas!

    I also agree with the pale creamy yellow ! Pick up paint chips or one of those sample jars to test against the burgundy ~

    Agree that a light pale yellow would work perfectly. I have a bold gold in my living room and my chairs are covered in cranberry (near a burgundy) and it is lovely.

    I also have the pale yellow and burgundy color scheme at my summer apartment, and it looks very good, and goes very well with the dark colored wood furniture I have in the room. The soft yellow, (but not TOO soft!) makes the burgundy and dark woods really pop! I'm not sure if, or how much this matters, but the flooring you have in this room? I have dark wood flooring in mine, which IMO, adds to the overall ambience of the room.

    as everyone is saying a creamy butter yellow would look nice, and to pull it all together you could get some fabric the color of you curtains and your walls and make a couple of pillows out of them for the bed

    On that note (April E's)....using complimentary fabric patterns which have the burgungy and yellow (if that's what you decide to go with)...plaids, florals...and I'm thinking a THIRD tone or color to add interest. Perhaps a soft blue or green. Why don't we all just meet at Bonnie's and get this project going? I'll bring donuts.
