Bedding and patterns to coordinate with rug

4 years ago

Hello- would love some guidance and ideas for new bedding to coordinate with rug. Below are pics of rug, headboard, nightstands, and room as it is now with lamps. The wall paint color is softer tan by Sherwin Williams. I think I need to bring in a more orange or salmon color instead of the red I have know. I’d like to pull on some of the blue with out being too dark as the headboard is a charcoal gray and nightstands are a deeper tone. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated! Even accessory ideas too :) Thank you!

    Why that wall color? You really did this backwards so now you will have to be a bit pickier to find bedding for sure . IMO the wall color is throwing every choice off the rails and the rug needed to be boght after everything else was decided. Now at least pick a color from the rug for the walls like the blue for instance. Then choose bedding in a color that is also in the rug bit not blue. Those lamps are too small and short for sure.

    I apologize if you just painted the room, but in the picture the wall color doesn't seem to go with the rug very well. Something much lighter such as Alabaster or Shoji White would look better and then the pale blue would also work better. I love the rug.

    Can you move the rug a little further from the nightstands, just a foot or so. Since it is narrower, it may look better with a little wood in front of the stands.

    The blue comforter above looks very nice with the area rug. Once you get art, the room will come together. Make sure the art has a touch of your wall paint color in it.

    im sire rhe walls are a softer tan in person. computer / screens throws colors way off

    toy could do an ivory bedding and add blue accent pillows, or a blue thow to the foot of the bed .. pretty rug it will come together nicely

    I agree with others that the wall color is off.

    Thanks folks, I appreciate your suggestions and comments. I agree that the wall color looks completely different from the image I posted. I enjoyed seeing everyone’s additions and edits to room picture. Definitely getting the blue message :)

    Can you provide the actual name of the paint color, as that will help with getting helpful advice.

    Based on photo only, I’d step back before deciding on bedding. It’s important to consider coordination of entire room, including the prominent headboard’s color, or room may just never feel quite right.

    If keeping paint color and rug (which is pretty, but not complementary to paint), suggest bringing home lots of bedding combinations and see what feels the most coordinated. Art will help as well.


    If you love rug and willing to paint, see how much fresher it will feel and I’d choose the ivory shade in rug and bedding will be easier also.


    If you don’t want to paint and willing to exchange rug, suggest looking for one that ties into your walls/headboard with some grey in rug and bedding will help to pull in headboard into the color scheme.



    Also suggest lamps that are better proportioned to nightstands and height of headboard (and for functionality). There is lots of helpful on-line advice (try Pinterest). Take you time and have a plan for room, before choosing the bedding.

    Thank you for this kind advice. I can always relocate lamps and the rug. I really like the last picture you sent that said “bedroom inspiration”. Could you tell me where you found it? I could copy this entire scheme- it is so pleasing. Thank you again!

    Depends on what color you want to embrace from your rug
