Thanks Celeste, here are the curtains, I scanned them! Turned out really well, the pics are pretty spot on.

Here are some suede colours I scanned, the quality is lost a fair bit. So you can tell me what kind of red I should be looking at to match the green in my curtainsIf I pick one of these, I won't get it in suede - normal how you said.
If you click on these it zooms in:

okay I am taking photos of the Enchantress sample I did on the fireplace. It's a nice colour, but I really don't know if it fits, not sure if it's too dark for the curtains. I'll post pics soon.
Some of these photos make the curtains look lighter then what they are, the scanned images in the other post are more true to the colour.
Enchantress:

After I sanded the dark grey suede back, this is how it looked. The light grey looks kinda nice:

Hi Makka619
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to look at the computer for a couple of days.
My opinion - I like the Enchantress with your curtains.
It's a good contrast.
Tho, the pale grey works as well.
I would paint the shelves you talked about in the same colour as the fire place.

thanks Celeste.
I really love the enchantress colour, but when I hold the curtains up it just doesn't look rightThey kind of fight for attention against each other if that makes sense. It makes the enchantress look less enchanting haha and the curtains look tacky.
But I just love the colour... and I really want to use it. Maybe I can hang the curtains in the bedroom and go with the olive wall in there. Just have to get the width cut.
Then I can look for some burgandy curtains. oh boy I really enjoy all of this. Easiest option is going for the light grey, which I should probably do as I have the grey paint for the shelving already.
wow i suck at this.
thanks alot for your help once again. You are marvelous.
oh and by the way, that enchantress is the burgandy colour exactly as I was thinking of. What a difference a sample pot can make.

Hey Celeste, just want to thank you again
I went with the Enchantress, and once the whole thing was painted it looked gorgeous. I am so in love with the colour and result. I can see now how much better the colour looks then grey, so much more life is added to that room.
As for the green curtains they fit the bedroom perfectly. I am getting some cream ones for the lounge.
Thank you so much for your time and help, without which I would have gone with boring old grey.

masoth just want to let you know I have painted the bedroom wall in a olivy colour as you suggested. It looks so great, I am so delighted with the result, I can't stop looking at it!
It matches the red fireplace really well too.
Thank you so much for your suggestion, I would never have thought to go green. I'll post up some pics soon when it is all done!
