What color combination of bedding would go with my room?

Question

My walls are a sky/turqouise blue, with tan, black, and white accents. Thanks.

Answer 1

I've just had a bit of a scribble with some colour pencils...
I love your colour combinations, if it were me, and the white is stark white, I would go for white bed linen,a and maybe a bed cover in rich silks in turquoises of various shades, as in maybe indian sari type stuff.
Or a quilt in the various tans, browns creams with a touch of black.............

I would stay within the color palette you already have, since there are several colors going. This seems pretty soothing at this point and in a bedroom, you want to keep it that way with limited color and pattern choices. The way to create interest in a space that you want to keep calm, is with TEXTURE. So use nubbly, smooth, fuzzy, shiny, matte, wood, metal, glass, etc but don't use patterns and more colors than you already have. If you do introduce any more colors, keep them in almost-white with a tint of that color, or varying shades of your blue or any of your other colors, to keep the space calm.

I would go with insanely high quality WHITE sheets, no matter what decor you have, these are NEVER WRONG.

For visible bedding, it depends on what kind of statement you are trying to make and how committed you are to the color, and the item.

If you are investing in a nice comforter or duvet that is supposed to last a while, then choose a color you can live with for a while. Maybe the blue is a fav that you will like for a long time, but maybe a neutral will serve you better beyond just this color scheme. Black will usually look classier and more modern, but show every speck of lint and all the stray hairs on your pillow. Tans tend to be boring and white tends to be sterile but you can use them with different colors over the years to incorporate them into another color scheme for a different look.

Using throw pillows or pillow shams on the bed makes it easy to work in your other colors in amounts that feel right to you, as well as being easy to replace or re-cover when you are tired of that look.

For most versatility and still going with quality, get some nice pillow cases in all your different colors, and make your bed in such a way that the pillows are on top of the bed with the covers partially turned down. Then you can change out the arrangement and combination of pillow dressings as often as you want and it still works. Then when you switch color schemes, you can add more pillowcases and donate the ones that don't fit anymore, reuse the ones that do. Having extra pillowcases and changing them every couple days is also a good hygiene practice. Among other things, it can help you get a handle on facial acne.

Another thing to consider is that your bed isn't the only thing in the room to express your color scheme. You should try to work all your colors into your bed, as the focal point, but maybe one main color for all your linen, and then tiny touches of the other colors, and then use the other accent colors elsewhere in the room. This would be a uniform look to your bed, which tends to be soothing and a little modern. Again, use your textures to make the bed interesting, don't rely on colors.

hi... turquoise is a blue-green color, so u can use these two colors with your bedding for an analogous color scheme that will be relaxing and not boring at the same time... but u have to choose blues and greens that will go with yr already existing turquoise...

but in case u are looking for something exciting and dramatic, then i can suggest red-orange colors... this family of colors is the complementary to the turquoise... but when u use it make sure the bed setting has some turquoise touches also...

in either case it's good to use the other neutral colors existing in the room... like using tan and/or white and/or black in the pillows, bed accessories, or maybe even the patterns if there are any... this will keep the room tied up 2gether...!

i hope i helped... good luck with yr bedding and have nice dreams!

With those colors a southwest themed bedding set would look good if you like that style. Terra cotta, muted orange, cream, maybe some dark cactus green, earth tones, rich brown, sand. Or you can go modern with black and tan. I would do a set of sheets, maybe mix and match the top and bottom sheet colors with a contrasting comforter and lots of pillows in a variety of coordinating colors, patterns and textures.

Answer 5

reds tend to go well with blues, especially with black/tan trims.

Answer 6

Brown or Navy will go for the cozy look...

Answer 7

cream white is good..... or light, light yellow
