    Try varying colors of green....jewel toned and lighter greens like a jade or something. Also mix it up with patterns that include green like pillows or throws. That's what I would do. Green is one of those colors that you need to find the right shade. Don't go too olive. Also since it's also a color of nature, you can try bringing in some nature-themed elements.

    I would go with sage green, it looks great with brown. Shop for or make toss pillows with sage and white large checks. Once you find the pillows or the fabric, match paint up to that. Add a throw, some accent pieces in sage. Also, use some metal accents in the color of your choice. I love silver, but copper would be great too.

    Have you thought about wallpaper? Thousands of patterns, colours, etc. I'm thinking grasscloth as it has just a bit of texture.

    Another green that would look lovely is spring green. It looks so fresh with white, and the brown leather would contrast beautifully. Perhaps you could get some ferns or other delicate-looking plants to keep going with the fresh green/white motif.

    I have a lot of sage green with beige and a pale strawberry/raspberry in my kitchen/family area that works well. Your brown couches would be great anchors with this combination. Throw pillows, picture frames, a small painted table, or picture would be easy ways to add color.
