Which colour for my room

I cannot decide which colour or colours to use in my room. My furniture is mahogany, my carpet is light brown. I have mahogany windows and doors. White skirtings, white dado rail and white plate rack. a third of the room is bathed in sunlight from two velux windows the rest of the room is more shaded. I have a traditional look with wing backed chairs which I intent to have recovered, so colour not a problem.
Does anyone have any sugestions ?
I am bogged down with paint swatches:(
Keep on trucking!
