Need color help

We painted our bedroom this Friday (not finished yet... need to do the moldings as you can see by the paint drips all over) and I don't know what colors I should do with the walls. They're Behr Toasted Chestnut. They look a little more orange in the pics than they actually are. I'd say they're almost terra cotta but with a little more brown. I wanted to do a darker brown and tan but I dont think that would go with the walls. Now I'm thinking maybe a red or a gold? I dont know.

We put the bed in front of the window. Not sure if its going to stay there but if it does we want to do sheer panels in front of the windows and then another heavier curtain swept to each side. Suggestions for bedding and curtains? This is our last room to finish and I really want to get it done!

PS - dont mind the mess... we haven't really cleaned up yet.

Thanks in advance!

navaho or navajo white... it's a really pretty creamy white... i have it all over my house on the moldings and i love it... it's elegant and matches any color...

I would go with the chai latte 290C-3 or even the arizona 290D-4. it is an in between color from your walls to your bedoir furniture (and i have the same furniture in my bedroom so i checked out the colors and there is a hint of dark-orange brown in there). the gold will be overbearing and it also wont match the dresser handles. red is totally off key.
if you try to do gradiant colors it will give your room an eye opening effect - from the flat dark walls, to the slightly bulging lighter moldings, to the external light colored furniture in front of the wall. dark, medium, light.
