shabby chic curtains

Chocolate brown Couch, Robin egg blue walls, What colors to use for the rest?
I just got a new Home and purchased 2 Lovely Rich chocolate brown sofa recliner sets. Im going to be painting my walls a pale robins egg blue sort of color, and im wondering, what colors of curtains to use in the room? I was thinking a natural green, also what color of rug and coffee table? I like the Shabby Chic look but , not too country, Any ideas? I think an antiqued white table would clash with the brown and blue.. maybe an antiqued black or pale green? What do you think? any photos would be great. i really want to make the color scheme work.. Green Chocolate and blues.. ( more pale blues then rich) Thanks 
We have similar taste. We have dark brown (almost black) Sofas and we painted one wall a pastel green for a focal wall then the rest a pale lavender (almost white). White looks gorgeous with lighter blues as this is what we did for our kitchen. Basically any pastel or jewel tone blues, purples, greens or yellows would look great. Try being Monochromatic picking one colour but then having it in diferent shades, textures, etc. Personally I think when you have a dark piece of furniture you want to spice it up with Bright, happy yet sophisticated colours. You can make it fit your mood as as well. For spring bright yellows, purples, and greens and a more dramatic feel use reds and silver and orange.
hopes this helps. Have fun decorating.
