Bedding color help...
Permalink Closed

My mom is offering to buy me all new bed stuff for xmas, which is cool except for the fact that I can't find a color that would go with my blue curtains and lampshades. I don't want to change curtains and I have a duvet/sheet set that goes with them nicely. But they're pretty plain and I'd like to modernize a little to go with a great set of lamps I recently bought.

Here's what can't change:
12961447_11_b?$prodmain$ with these lampshades:

76168_PE195649_S3.JPG the blue version, although irl it's much more green-blue, a dark teal color

I can't find a color online that is close to my curtains, probably because everything is all fallish. Basically they're a turquoise/light teal color and the lampshades are a dark teal with white bases. My bed is an antique white four poster bed with matching furniture throughout the room. (One day I'd like to evolve to a Jonathon Adler style headboard but until then...)

I'd like something modern and nothing country, traditional, or too manly/girly. Everything I see online is too something. Too orange, too green, too grandmotherly, etc. I'd like a duvet and sham set but I'm open to different styles (comforters, quilts, coverlets, etc.).

What colors or styles can you think of to go with the turquoise color but will still look modern and eclectic, all at the same time? It's tricky...

I think brown would be one of the easiest options but lately I'm more into gray and pewter which seems to be another popular bedding trend.

Or you could do black & white, which could be really glamorous. I saw this bedding on the Anthro site and loved how it isn't an all-over pattern and then I found it used in a room on the Domino site.

I'm really digging the grey and silver-esque colors as well. Right now I'm leaning towards that, especially since it seems to be all over these days.

I love Dwell stuff (who doesn't?) but price is also a consideration. I don't want to request anything too extravagant since my mom's paying, ya know?

Hmm...I'm thinking white, grey/black, with orange accents which compliment the blue in your lamp shades and curtains.

Would stripes be too traditional? This one uses a range of browns and teals:

It's a 4-piece set for $80 (linensource.com)

This at West Elm has the gray color with white too, which would bring in the lamps and furniture:
etched leaf duvet cover + shams

Here's another with multiple blues, at Room and Board - I like the avocado green in this, could be a fun color for accessories:
Big Pool
