Paving the way for New Curtains?

I've got a beautiful mantel made of solid oak waiting to be mounted above the fireplace in my workroom. Before it is mounted, it seems sensible to repaint the wall. Having found there was virtually none of the red paint left that I'd previously used, I needed to choose a new colour. As a feature wall, I wanted something bold, that will add warmth to the room. I'm a huge fan of teal, but I can do the whole house in the same colour! So I chose:


A gorgeous, rich aubergine colour, and one for which I know there are great fabrics available to compliment:

Donatello Violet from Clarke and Clarke's Firenze Collection

Bolero Fuschia from Clarke and Clarke's Bolero Collection

Flamenco Purple, also from the Bolero Collection
Does this mean that I should be making some new curtains for the workroom too?
These gorgeous fabrics, which texture, would look fabulous with the newly painted wall, finished with some stylish hand-sewn headings.
