I need help matching sheets for a blue and orange bedroom?

Question

i wan't to paint my bedroom a bright blue and a bright orange, i know bright colors could become very obnoxious, but with the paint colors that i'm going to chose it'll probably be very hard to find sheets that would match any color recomendations besides white?

Answer 1

I really think white is a good idea to break up the blue and orange. Or you could get white and use fabric dye for orange or blue.
Sheets come in so many patterns, you may find a floral or a stripe that looks good in coordinating colors--or fish, or checks, or...............?

Answer 2

this depends on how you want the room to look, and it also depends on how the painting corresponds. if the paint is very dominantly blue then maybe an orange sheet, and vice versa. If the blue and orange are present equally, look at other things in the room and match their color. It is hard to say what you should do, it just depends on what colors are present in the room. and if you cant figure out what would work best, just use white. good luck.

Answer 3

well you should know that blue and orange are complimentary colors so theyre opposites, and unlike black and white are harder to pull off, but why not FIRST find bright blue and orange sheetsand comforters ,THEN match the colors to paint because paint can change but sheets cant.

Answer 4

I agree with Super. Buy the comforter or spread, shams, shhets, and pillow slips and throw pillows, THEN match the paints to the sheets!
Take your time, find a design you really like, and you will be very happy with the results.

Seriously, add some neutral in white, ivory, light gray, or beige; and some green plants to 'mellow' the room a bit. ]

Well this one might seem a little more girlish but I'm not sure.

It might not as good of an idea to do both the bedding and the walls the same color though. Hmm you could use the colors on the bedspread. Then paint 3 walls white and pick one of the colors for the other wall. Or do two walls white and then orange for one wall and blue for the other.

If you do paint your walls those colors it will make your room look smaller. But if you set on it here's a couple other bed ideas. Get a white comforter but get orange or bright blue sheets and pillow cases. Mix and match ya know?

Answer 6

a spring green would look ok. try it--you'll see. besides yellow and white, i don't think you have any other decent combos.

Answer 7

How about light yellow.
