Living Room Color Theme

I've been trying to learn more about decorating and have figured out that people who use the colorwheel seem to make better decisions. I'm still not sure what I want to do with my living room once I get a new couch, but I've been trying to brainstorm some ideas.

I really like the paprika color of my curtains. I have a lot of pillows with the same reddish-orange color as well, but I think they are a little much--red is such a dominant color.

I also have these blue/blue-green pieces that I think would look good with the paprika color. What if I add some cool accent pillows in this color? How much of it would I need? I'm not sure this color combination fits the colorwheel exactly, but I am hoping it is close enough since the red seems to be an in-between red and orange color and the blue seems to be in-between blue and green. That makes them complimentary, right??

If I'm way off, let me know before I get invested in it!!

Living Room & New Couch

We put up my old paprika colored curtains, even though my husband isn't fond of them. I'm really not sure why. For now, we are using our new sectional (our old couches had broken frames and needed replaced), which will eventually relocate downstairs to a family room/tv area. I am holding out to do anything too work intensive until we switch to a different couch. Oh, and I realized I forgot to take a photo of the other direction.

The end tables are hand-me-downs from my husband's grandparents. They are functional and will do for now, but someday I'd like to upgrade. We've had the lamps for several years, but replaced the lampshades with free ones from a sister. I think they are a little small, but will do for now.

One of my criteria for a sectional was making sure it had a chaise. Love it, love it!!! Here my husband models how easy this thing is to love.
