1] find a print with the three colors in it - red, yellow, blue - for drapes and throw pillows.
2] paint walls a neutral color - white or ivory; rosy beige or warm beige, or pearl gray. Keep floor neutral also.
3] repeat the three brights in accessories - lamps, vases, candles, ornaments, flowerpots, candle holders/sticks.
4] frame all artwork in similar color and material - brass/chrome, oak/walnut, etc.

Sometimes decorating is not just about matching but accenting and blending. If too much matches,it can look like a page out of a kids coloring book. There are a few things that you could do: buy slip covers for the sofa (s) and go from there. As for painting, go neutral but maybe not white. White with the blue/red/yellow will be too primary and it could look like a little boys room.Maybe a muted tone of one of the couches would be a nice wall color and Try colors that you would never think of, maybe black accents and a few splashes of the other colors. Don't be afraid to play with color and remember...it's your room.

It will coordinate with the yellow & blue, and it will highlight the red. The get curtains to match one of the blues or the white. If that paper would be too much all over the room, then you might consider only putting it on one wall and paint the rest of the walls that same pale yellow.
