Match the panels to the shades

Would advise that you take out anything that will not be a permanent part of your design. That will give you a cleaner slate to start from. If you are going to keep the navy shades and since they are a very large presence in the room I would take a cue from them and build a color palette around them.

I would get some neutral, matching your walls or rug.

I'd match the shade color, with 1 long rod across the top as High as possible 96' panels are standard off the rack fill the wall to extend beyond the window trim.

I'd even paint the wall SW Naval.

... taller bedside table lamp.

Thanks for the responses! I decided to go with a neutral grey (coordinates with rug) in a luxurious fabric. Waiting for the curtain rod to be delivered and then we’ll see. Ordering swatches to perfectly match the blue of the shades was more work than we were willing to do, and husband didn’t like the idea of a completely navy wall.

Those yellow walls are a disaster. The rug you selected coordinates with NOTHING in the room.

Maybe take the couch out and get one comfy chair possibly burnt orange or saffron with small side table. New bedding cover to tie together. I think the navy panels is way to go, keeping it unbusy.

Hey Bev, I didn’t pick the walls. After we painted the rest of the house, husband was burnt out on painting and needs a break. The rug coordinates with multiple other pieces in the room, some of which you can’t see in this photo. Thanks for your always kind and helpful feedback.

Jackowskib, thanks for the suggestions. The little couch works for us right now because we have a big dog that will actually sleep on it instead of crowding our space in bed, but will keep your suggestion in mind.

You have a very nice room! I think you should consider curtains to match the wall, but if you think you may be painting in the near future that color would change. White or even metallic silver could be other choices.

I wouldn't match the shades because I think it would look too much like a dark hole.

I'd be curious to see the other bedding that you switch out with.

I also really like what I can see of the art over your bed! Is it a light green with silver? If so, the color goes really well with the navy!

Kelly, thank you very much! I ended up going with gray, and I’m happy I did. I got one of the curtain rods up myself while my spouse was at work, and fell off a ladder for the first time in my life so I’m gonna wait for him to put up the other one before I post a new window picture 😆 Here is the artwork above the bed, I think it’s probably from Wayfair. It’s a muted light bluish green color with gold accents. The other bedspread we used most frequently is navy, so I think things are coordinating pretty well.

KL — that is BEAUTIFUL!

@Nicole R thank you for your compliment on my new bathroom. I got a lot of criticism of the two tiles being too much. But nobody criticized the Navy and grey! 

I am so sorry you feel off the ladder! I hope you weren't too badly hurt. I'm glad you will wait for hubby to help you. Glad he can help; mine would be too nervous I think.
