[quote=Anonymous]PP here again.  Love the idea of the light blue silk drapes.  Velvet sounds too heavy if you feel the room is feminine.  Will you have a rug?  I just went through decorating my rug. I also have mahogany furniture--table, chairs, ceiling height cabinet.  All old so not hulking and huge.  My walls were light, drapes, light, brass fixtures (yes I have bright brass in my formal areas!) and standard medium colored oak floors.  Honestly the room always felt too bright and too warm.  I got a very nice cool colored (mainly federal blue) oriental rug.  Cooled and anchored the room.

So my view is figure out what is your most important thing.  For example, if you love the color light blue for the drapes, then start with that and let the other colors develop.  I think Velvet is very heavy and I don't love it for drapes.  Silk is so much more elegant.  So I would start with those as the inspiration and put them on the table and think about what they would look well with. I maintain a nice pale yellow is the answer.[/quote]
