Accent with pillows, throwns, rugs in burgandy. Mix solid w/prints. Hang family pics in inexpensive black frames. Shop thrift stores for all these items. Spray paint can work wonders! You can paint lamps, pic frames, etc. You should find a large pic for over your sofa or you could hang a group of pics up there. Over the fireplace replace the mirror with a pic, rod iron piece or a wreath. I use old hardback books. I stack 3 or 4 books and sit knik knacks on them. Very inexpensive. Hang a shelf up high and display items. It will make the room seem warmer. Nice window treaments would really help also. Use your imagination...watch HGTV and check out HGTV.com. Lots of great cheap ideas. You can work wonders with $250. I wish I lived near; I love to decorate. It is a challenge for me....my relaxation. Good luck! I love the buttery yellow!

The curtains will bring out the gold from your chairs. Add a couple of green pillows and gold pillows to continue the color through out your living room.

If you have a Wal-Mart, check out the sewing section. They have bins of clearanced ribbons and materials. You can get some pretty gold ribbon to accent a plain candle you might find, etc. I think your idea of gold or bronze-ish is excellent. Given the colors of the walls and carpet, it's probably the best way to go. As far as the broke part, try these:

You could match the curtains to the furniture or you could use really any color but here are some ideas: -Light Creamy Green -Robin's Egg Blue -Aqua -Pink or Purple. The natural colors like green gives a fresh healthy look for the walls. Dark brown espresso colored furniture would be the perfect one.

You don't have to paint the walls a light color to bring a feeling of light to the room. Confirmation lies in your currently white walls. You want peoples vision to be drawn to certains elements of the room that create a feeling of "openness". I suggest a mirror or two strategically placed will make the room feel more open, or larger. The feeling of darkness is often derived from a room that feels small, cramped or cluttered. As far as the walls go, you want either your entertainment center (if its fairly large), or your sofa set to be the focal point of the room. So you need some contrast that makes those things stand out. I suggest a color darker than yellow and lighter than orange. Something in a kind of terracota texture can be achieved with the right tool from home depot, or loews. Add curtains that are closer to yellow, but still a bit darker. This will make the windows a bit of a focal point, which will make people think of light. The wall color will make both the sofa and the entertainment center pop. If you are going to go as far as redoing the floor, I suggest a wood floor alond the lines of a Mahoghany. Add a throw rug and lamps that bring the curtains and the entertainment center together. Buy one of those huge ceramic vases that are about 3 foot tall. Create a dry flower arrangement that has browns, burgandys, yellows and a little black. Make it at least 6 foot tall in total. Hope this all helps, have fun. The first thing you need to do is conceptualize and visualize. You don't have to paint the walls a light color to bring a feeling of light to the room.

Somewhere in that mix, throw in just a pinch of the navy to blend it all together. You need to search for complimentary colors that are directly across from the color that you're trying to match. I've included a link to show you. I would think that browns, oranges in the right area of the color wheel would look really good.
