How can I incorporate my teal look into the white bedding if possible? What shade do I paint the walls? What color of curtains? Or anyone seen any bedding for my look?
ashlee33 If you are happy to paint the walls, I would paint a feature wall in your favourite teal colour, then keep the bedspread/ quilt cover in a luxurious white with your teal accents like the pillow and throw. Personally, I love bold bright feature walls :D
Laura McGuinness Oh yes I love that deep teal and I am totally willing to paint I'm just scared it's going to be to much with the vivid white comforter?
Kelli Kaufer Designs I agree, one accent teal wall with white furniture against it and bringing in natural woods to ground the teal colors.
Layered white bedspread with lots of pillows both white and in the teal family, side tables either white or natural wood with accent colors in the accessories. It will be beautiful.
Keep the other walls white as to not be too busy.
Remember, it is only paint - get a small quart sample size and paint a small section of the wall to see if you like it before painting the entire wall.
Barnhart Gallery Hi Laura -- I'd suggest that the lightest (or second lightest) teal in your pillow would be most liveable, for all four walls, especially since you already have several deeper teal accessories. An almost all white bed and floaty white curtain panels will bring the light etherial blue on the walls to life.
Your room might be a candidate for some personal experimental art if you want to give it a go with some blues, white and oak tones to bring it all together. It's only paint!
Laura McGuinness Should I do that darkest teal for the paint behind my bed then? or the whole room? I thought if I did the whole room the dark teal I would have the white bedding, some white curtains, and some white accents for some bright pops of white.
Thank you all so much for your advice you are helping me so much =)
michelle_cattapan I love teal blue and white together. In fact thats what I have in my bedroom!. I also added some charcoal gray in a headboard and rug. It really helped ground the room because all my furniture is white. I love accent walls they are easy to do! Try a wallpaper stencil (lots of beautiful ones on etsy) in tone on tone teals from your pillow. I'm thinking of painting my nightstands a brushed silver and keeping the drawer fronts white, because i like the grey effect so much with the teal AND it adds a bit of glamour.
I really don't think you can go wrong with teal. It looks good with all colors! Good luck I know its going to be beautiful!
michelle_cattapan My only advice would be don't do every layer Teal, the more you use the less you SEE it. If you really want it to POP use it for about 30% of color in room use your neutral (white) 60% and your wood tones 10%.
houssaon I found a Benjamin Moore color that looks to be a very good match to your pillow. It is called Pacific Seal Teal: http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/pacificseateal#ce_s=teal One of the colors that is a recommended coordinate is Silken Pine 2144-50, the palest of pine. I'd do the dark teal on your bed wall and the pine on the three others.
I think both colors would look great with your pillow, the white bedding and the oak furniture. I can see crisp white cutains on you windows and a dark grey rug.
feeny Just want to endorse that fabulous teal and white patterned duvet cover from West Elm that michigammemom suggested. It is one of my very favorite bedding patterns and has been in my own ideabook for awhile, in hopes of incorporating it into a bedroom.

Or, here's what I got when I searched art.com for teal+ochre:

Select carefully so that your art looks collected rather than store-bought. Like your very cool pillow!
