Elegant Home Furniture

i'm paintin my living room texture walls. my furniture is cherry wood with frabric sofa and love seat in gold and rustic orange color.

Anything in the taupe or camel family would be good -- stay away from metalics. Take a pillow to your paint store and match the lightest color and you'll have a winner.

If you want a cozy feeling go darker on the paint swatch than the lightest color and the room will seem to hug you. I always choose darker colors and get so many compliments.

If you have high ceilings you can paint on color to 6 feet (taupe/camel) and then another above it that is lighter that goes on the ceiling too. This makes the room feel cozier too -- if the ceiling is too high the room feels empty and a bit sterile.

Also, to get a truer color with depth and good coverage (also saves money because less less coats are necessary) ask that your primer be tinted with the same color you are painting your walls. The primer will be a little lighter but will bring the wall closer to the finish color which will make cleaning easier too (ever wash a wall and the paint comes off? -- colored primer will help this).
