A bedroom needs to be soothing for sleeping, so you want a calm background. I like the wallpaper - goes very well with the black headboard.

I like the bedding;however I am not sure the rose pillow is best choice??? Try it after everything painted & furniture back in place. If you don't like, that is an easy & inexpensive fix.

Stop second guessing yourself, you appear to have good taste. Post pic when finished.

My suggestion is to match the background color of your wallpaper. Not the most exciting answer, I know, but a calm backdrop will let your nicely assembled and coordinated furnishings shine.

Thanks for your suggestions, that was my plan but I kept second guessing myself, so I thought I would seek some advice.

One other thought bergy -- I'd consider hanging your wallpaper sideways to further emulate the lines of the bed.

Agree with Barnhart that you should match the background colour of the wallpaper. I like the hint of colour in the bedding and pillows. Trust your instincts.

Sherwin Williams is reading the following paint colors from your pix if it helps you choose. Four nice neutrals for you here.

The pic that I took of the wallpaper really doesn't do it justice, the background has a pearly sheen to it, I actually am looking at paint from Sherwin Williams although I think those colors might be too dark, was looking at sand beach and netsuke....decisions decisions : )

The wallpaper is hip and fun ......the bedding does not work! Too much shirting and texture with the paper. Try something softer .....solids mixed with cashmere and maybe a nice appliqué from Mary McDonald.

Passione, you're right, I thought we were looking at accent pillows and didn't realize that's a whole bedding set with all of that pattern. Bergy, I think it can work beautifully if you layer in some solids and perhaps use the lively pattern as your main pillow shams and fold up the comforter across just the foot of the bed, sort of like this:
