I think I’m having a hard time with the curtains because they and the comforter seem out of place with the wall colors and furniture style. I’m not a pro, so I know very little, but I just can’t tell what look you are going for here.

I think a solid curtain would work better so the two (spread and panels) don't fight for attention. Could we see all of your room, maybe a footprint, perhaps there is a better way to arrange things and then you could put the TV on the wall and eliminated a cabinet all together.

Paint is usually the last item in a decorating project so it can be coordinated with fabrics (your comforter & curtains) and textiles (your carpet.) You've got warm carpet and traditional style warm furniture, but blue walls that have little to do with the contemporary comforter or curtains which don't suit the furniture style either. You're working against your investment elements (the furniture) with the comforter you've chosen. I suggest you return it and try to take advantage of the styles and colors you have rather than fight against them. Here's a light bed against blue, so that will work, but the comforter/curtains go off in another direction that is jarring. The bedroom is a place for calm relaxation, so a less busy fabric choice would be better.

Four-Poster Farmhouse Bedroom · More Info

Background: We had purple walls and a quilt with purple, black, greens, pinks until we decided to redo the bedroom. I wanted a change and our tastes now lean more contemporary/transitional. The furniture we have had for 30 years and we are not replacing it even though our tastes have shifted.

This new comforter is something fun to add energy to our bedroom. We prefer a comforter with an interestIng pattern. It is custom colors so it is not returnable.

I picked the blue to match one of the swirls in the pattern. I didn’t want the green tones because the adjacent bathroom (behind the white double doors) is painted a sage color.

The blue does match the comforter but I am not in love with how it looks. The 3 walls (except the one the bed is on) are a sky blue and the bed wall is a little 2 shades darker of the same blue. SInce we painted the bedroom ourselves 2 weeks ago, it isn’t changing color right now. Maybe in a year if we still don’t like it I could change the color.

If the curtains are going to be a solid color, what color do you think?

The carpet will be replaced next year.

My husband does not want to mount the tv. Instead we are first going to look for an alternative stand for it. Any ideas?

THanks for the suggestions and looking forward to hearing more feedback.

1) These are 2 options for the curtains. Which should I use?

What do you think about the idea of using denim curtains? Do you think a dark indigo would work with your comforter? If you buy an extra panel or two, you could make some pillow shams for the bed, too, from the same material.

(Sorry, I'm kind of a one-trick pony, lol, and frequently recommend denim to people; it's unexpected but unbelievably neutral. I'd make a terrible designer!)

2) What could I put in the corner between the dresser and the armoire?

Can y'all rearrange the room? I'm thinking of suggesting that the bed go between the windows.... :-) Or did you want to keep the bed on the darker blue wall?

3) Any ideas for pillows or shelving?

I'd go heavily-varied on texture for the pillows, but solid/tone-on-tone colors. The comforter/duvet is so vibrant, that non-patterned accents everywhere else would look great. The solids can vary (solid/monotone purple pillows mixed with the denim and a bit of tone-on-tone green added, too, for example), picking up on the different colors of the comforter.

4) Alternative ideas to put the tv on?

How much rearranging of furniture are y'all willing to do? (Can the TV go on the dresser, and can the mirror be moved?)

4) the carpet will be replaced next year for a lighter color.

Are y'all considering a rug, eventually, too, or no? :-D

I like @One Devoted Dame's idea to add a darker blue. These are really reasonably priced.

I would put the t.v. on the dresser and add a floor mirror to the left of the dresser.

Thanks. I ordered them and a few other of the dark blue ones to see how they look. I ordered black rods since we have both silver and brass in the room. I thought the black would blend in better. Thoughts.

Sounds good. I'll be anxious to see how they look. Try to hang them so they just brush the floor and extend the rod out 6 inches from the edge of each window so they frame the windows rather than covering them up.
