This wasn't your question but was wondering ... Have you considered painting the walls a neutral color? That way, your colored furnishings would essentially pop off of the walls. In addition, it would tone down what some might consider too many colors or too much color "noise". I've thought about a few different neutrals but will hold those thoughts unless/until you let me know that's a possibility.

If you absolutely can't paint, I'd consider going monochromatic on the drapes. So, I'd try to match the GG orange exactly, in a solid fabric. If it's a small room, that should make it feel larger b/c the eye won't stop on a different color. It will also help to tone down that aforementioned noise.

BTW, I'd also pick up the GG orange again in some accessories. I prefer to repeat colors. You might try to combine the colors in a pillow or some other fabrics. I can also envision a solid ceramic piece or two in a grouping of 3 objects.

Do you have any photos to help others envision the space and provide additional opinions?

Good Luck!
