Plain white walls would be the best bet with bedding so dark.

Beautiful choice in bedding....you have good taste!
I would paint the walls a taupe color. It would be nuetral enough if you decide to change your mind down the road that you could change things up without having to paint again. Plus I think it's a very soft subdued color, great for a bedroom.
What style is your bed? If you can, create posts for it to make a canopy and drape sheer white fabric along the top and down at the corners. Or you can simply buy a bad canopy that hangs from the ceiling and drapes down over the bed in sheer white fabric.
With your furniture, I would stick with simple clean lines, probably also in black. You can build simple end tables with a hammer and some wood easily, or you could just paint your existing furniture black. I would find some table lamps like the ones I've listed here:

I think any of those would go great with the decor.
Do you have wood floors or carpeted? If they are carpeted, I would find a rug that ties in some of the brighter colors of your bedding, like this one. It uses the teal color, but it's muted so it's not distracting.

If you have wood floors, I would consider this one.

Either one would work really.
Then I think you should use some paintings that are abstract with brighter colors. So far everything has been pretty muted, so you should bring a couple objects in that have a splash of color. But not too much, since the bedding only has a splash of color. Here are some paintings I found that could work.

I know some of these things I listed are a bit spendy. They're just meant to give you some inspiration to work from if you can't afford it. I hope this helps you. Anyways, the way I see it is if you can pick out such an awesome bedding set, I don;t think you'll have too many problems figuring out what you want to do with the rest of the room!

For the walls I would paint the bottom half black, the top half white, and in between a bright or aqua blue stripe to match the pillows. Some black and/or white lace curtians would be nice, and for a nightstand you could get one of those small 'antique' French endtables. If you don't want to break the bank to buy one of those endtables, try and older looking or more modern looking one. If it's not the right color - I would go with black or white- spray paint or paint it. A small black chair would be nice, and maybe a black and white rug. I've seen standing lamps and table lamps that have hanging fake crystals for the lamp shade- that would be perfect!
I love the bed! Good luck decorating! :)

That's really pretty. If you don't like the bright teal they have featured it with or a fuschia variation, this is what I would do:
Go with the French theme. Paint your walls a soft pink and then get French cafe accessories. The softness of the pink would really make the black and white pop. Right now, you can find Eiffel Towers and french stuff all over.
You just made me want to buy that. What a beautiful choice!

Take the bright colors, fuschia, teal blue (like the pillow) Use accessories -- rugs, lamps, even crystal candlesticks with color candles to accent the room. Use the colors in the Window Treatments, not black --
If you paint the room a light teal, or light fuschia, you can use the crystal lamp base with color shade, and accent with the pillow in those colors and off-white. This way, you can add pictures, wall hanging, chair, throw, that accent the colors and black for the room. This is a great bedding choice.

How about three white walls, and, as a feature, bright/shocking pink behind the bed to set off the black and white. You could also have shocking pink cushions and accessories around the room and perhaps billowing white muslin at the windows. The bedding is stunning - just what I want but my husband doesn't agree!

If you like the way it looks in the picture, stick with the same nuetral background. Add the blue color of the pillows to accent pieces and curtains or drapes. I like decorating this way because it's easier, less time consuming and more cost effective to change accent colors than to paint an entire room.
Oh, yes, almost forgot, the bedding is beautiful!

Beautiful!
Take the blue Euro sham down to Home Depot or Lowe's and get them to match the color for enough paint for the wall the bed will be placed against. A black base lamp with a white lampshade, black furniture, and 2 pairs of white sheer curtains for each window. (You could even string matching glass beads to make your own curtain tie backs!)

OMG! I love that!!! I don't know if it would go with your room, but the bed looks AWESOME!!! I love it!!! I don't know how this would look, but paint your walls white and have a bunch of giant (1-2 ft in diameter) overlapping dots. Make sure you can still see the white. I'd make the dots blue and black. make the blue the same color as the pillows. put a few hot pink dots too, because it looks like there may be a hot pink pillow on the bed. love it!!!

The bedding is quite bold so you will need to keep your decor very simple. It looks black and white in the picture, I would keep your walls white and just get some black and white accessories like vases and pictures etc.. Don't make the decor too fussy, the bedding has all the pattern you need for the room.
