Need help with bed fabric choice

14 years ago

Decided on a bed, but not sure which fabric to choose which will fit with our carpet in the bedroom. The wall color can be anything and there is no furniture as of yet so the only limitations are the carpet and the bed colors. My wife and I have narrowed the color down to three choices and I am leaning toward the two lighter options. I've also included a pic of the fabric samples with my carpet. Oh, all trim in the room is white.
Here is a link to the picture that inspired me

I like the dark best with your carpet. Depending on how much of your carpet shows once you have bed &other furniture in the room, all3 would work. The inspiration room is beautiful!

I personally prefer the contrast of the charcoal fabric with your beige carpet.

Well my very first choice was the darker blue, but now that I see your inspiration room (thank you for including that!) I will change my mind and go with the lightest shade. Especially if you use the wall color in the Oakland Room.

Use the sheets and pillow sham in the medium colour and use the lightest for the bed coverings.

Because it's mostly the top of the headboard which will be visible once the bedding is in place, I think any of the colors will work just fine. But I'd probably go with the medium color against a darker accent wall.

Even before I saw the inspiration room I liked the mid tone. Just the right amount of contrast without being too subtle or too high. I do also like the other two colors and would suggest you use them else where in the room.

I noticed that someone commented on the carpet being beige and realized that the photo made the carpet look a bit lighter than it really does. I tried to take a couple of better photos with white in the photo as a base. Thanks to those of you who have responded.

all 3 fabric color are in different degree of grey tone which seems hard to blend in with warm beige carpet.

I think the lightest shade is the only one that will allow you to have the yellowy beige carpet in the same room with all the gray accents -- wall, bedding etc. Notice the throw in the inspiration photo brings in the yellow -- which is a lovely combination with grey -- it provides the color "punch" that a strictly grey and cream room needs. When you get to wall color, check out Revere Pewter by Ben Moore -- it's a warm grey.

That Carpet is Pretty Heavy Mustard, very Mad Men;)

Here is what I would do:
