Coordinating Bedding with Walls?

November 23, 2004

Bedding Coordinated with WallsI am supposed to be moving and I'm getting my own room. When we move, I get to decorate it any way I want. This is the problem, I wanted to paint my walls lime green and hot pink but I can't find a bedspread, sheets, etc to match it.

If you know any websites or stores that would help me please let me know. I really had my heart set on those two colors but I can't find any bedding to match, should I just give up or keep looking?

Why don't you get a white bedspread and sheets, etc.? You can use them in any color of room (in 5 years you may want to change to a different color for your walls). White goes with anything. THEN, buy some throw pillows in the same colors as your walls in the line green and hot pink. Or go to a thrift store or a garage sale and buy some pillows and then go to a fabric store to find the right color of material you like and recover the pillows. You should be able to get those colors in all kinds of fabrics from satin to cordoroy. Decorate the pillows with ribbon, buttons, etc. Go on the internet and look for easy and "neat" pillow ideas. Maybe you could find some stuffed animals in those colors or a throw blanket for the edge of the bed? Have fun!!

Go to WalMart!! Check the No Boundaries Sheet Collection in the Domestics Department. Lots of hot pink and lime green stuff and accessories and bathroom stuff as well to match!!!

I don't know if you have a print on your bedspread. If you do, you can pick one of the colours and dye your sheets to match. You will be surprised at how much you can do with dye. Sandy Good luck

Try a fabric store. You can find almost any color and for almost any budget. If you don't sew, look at the polar fleece, the edges don't frey, so you can just cut it the way you want.

Thanks for the ideas! If you have more I would like to hear them.

What about buying a good quality comforter in white and stamping it with designs you like in your colors? You could do the same thing with curtains to make it all matching!

A while back J.C. Penney had sheets, shams, bedskirt, curtians, bedspread, etc. in the colors you are looking for, they were in a catalog I saw, very pretty. They also had orange, blue, yellow, and your colors. Call the catalog dept. and see if they still have them.

Brittany,

First, I want to say you've received excellent ideas so far. The following links may help you find exactly what you're looking for; however, I have to warn you I didn't look at any of the prices. I just looked at the colors.

BUY WHITE AND DYE THEM THE COLOR YOU WANT. It will probably be cheaper to order the dye than to order the comforter, sheets, etc. Some fabric stores carry dye's in all kinds of colors, but if you can't find one in your area, try looking up fabric dye online.

Check the JC Penney's catalog. I've seen both colors in it for sheets and bedspreads.

Another good place to find your hot pink and lime colors is at Domestications.com in the Kids' bedding section. They have cute stuff and are pretty reasonably priced--less expensive than Penney's.

Hey guys, I was wondering would a black beadspread with lime green and hot pink sheets and pillows look good? I mean if the walls are hot pink and lime green? Another thing, how should I paint the walls? Should I do each wall a different color?

I thought about painting each wall a different color then putting some kind of design in the other color so that way each wall would have both colors. What do you guys think?

My daughter like the same bright colors but heres were bright yellow and pink. I painted her room in a cream base then de geometric shapes of the colors she wanted. I did the same with her bedding and curtains. I went to the craft store found some stamps in the same shapes I did on the walls and stenciled her bedding and curtains.

For decorations I found some min lamps in the same colors(palm trees,lip designs) and used those for lighting then found moon chairs in the bright pink. That worked great. She loves it. Now the youngest wants a room like it but purple and yellow. So let the fun begin.

I don't really won't floral and I want quality. I've found a few things I like at Saks, Urban Outfitters, and Anthropologie. Any ideas on other places to look... Ohh yeah... Did I mention I have a twin bed (Its black rod iron).

Thanks a ton!

waverly makes a hot pink ,white and lime green plaid paper that i used in my daughters room.
I did the paper halfway down and found a hot pink bedspread with lime on the back at TJMaxx homegoods with sahms to match. and also bought lime sheets there also a white lamp with lime stripes
and a hot pink shade. the bedroom is beautiful i finished it off with a hot pink rug. My grand daughter calls it the beautiful princess room and wants one like it. There is also a coordinating paper that goes with the plaid that is a white background with hot pink tulips and lime stems and it has the fabric avalable to match . I think it was in the book in bloom. Go to waverly and you will find it.

I had the same challenge trying to find bedding to when my 14 year old wanted a lime green and bright orange room. I found a great solution at the craft store. There you can find spray cans of fabric paint in a variety of colors, including the ones you are looking for. We spray painted white bedding and sheets. We liked them so much we decided to made coordinating curtains. Ours turned out great! Good luck!

All my friends call me for decorating advice..hehe
I think it would be pretty if you painted it gold, not a metalic gold, but a burnt butter yellowish gold. ( the trim a shade lighter or darker) and adapt the oriental theme. Those big oriental fans are inexpensive, and often have the 3 colors mentioned here, black, magenta and gold. Add a throw pillow or two with those three colors to incorporate the gold color onto your bed.

Have you considered a 'warm' grey for the walls? Or possibly a creamy colour (not white, but some form of antique white). If you went this way then black for the moldings might look good.

 
December 5, 20040 found this helpful

I might be inclined to paint with a warm grey colour....it might produce a somewhat modern, or masculine look, but if that wasn't your intent you could 'accessorize' that look away. If you went with the grey, or even a creamy colour (not white, more antiqued) then black molding might look spectacular. Kind of daring I'd say....but it's just paint afterall; it can always be reversed!!!

I think a warm grey will be friendly with the black bedspread, but I find that I would like to see a nice offsetting tan on the walls. Some pictures with black frames and crisp white matte inside them would look sharp. I'd paint the trim white with some black and white or just white curtains to bring it all together. (Painting trim black scares me.) I'm thinking sharp, crisp and linear feel. Hope this idea helps!

In this setting I would use a light green of almost any shade...mint, sage, etc., just as long as it is light. The windows would be nice in white as it is easy to match white with anything. I would tend to use lace curtains, again in white, to bring a taste of France or Italy in the room...some black & white pictures on the walls & a nice Wicker mirror would be very beautiful as well.
Good luck! Patsy

Hi,
I have an L-shaped living/room dining room and I just painted one accent wall in the dining room and an adjoining accent wall in the living room a really deep Victorian Red. I already bought grey paint for the remaining walls but now feel that the grey is too dark. My doors and trim will be a very pale Vanilla Ice Cream colour (very light with a hint of creamy yellow. Can you plese help me with how I can lighten up the grey paint before I put it on my walls. Thank you.

I just recently remodeled my son's house and painted the bedrooms a Sleek Silver, which is like a light shade of gray. We had Silver Mist carpet installed and it turned out beautiful. We also painted the kitchen a Chromium color (another light gray color) and put up a pretty border with the same color and black marble diamond shapes in it. It turned out beautiful with the new black appliances and black marble countertops. I personally like black and silver or light gray together and they seem to go with everything. I would paint the room a light shade of gray and put up a pretty matching border that bring out the other colors you are working with.

I am decorating my 2 year olds room and I just purchased new bedding that is pink and brown. I do not want to paint her room pink because my older daughters' room is pink. Does anyone have any suggestions on what other colors would go with this. Do you think a light purple would be ok? I don't know what to do. I have attached a picture of the bedding.

I would paint it a basic khaki color, you are not going to have that particular bedding for a long time, this way you will have a nice neutral backdrop for your next color scheme, purple and pink would be too sickening sweet, IMHO

Camel brown would look good.

I think most any soft color would go nicely, pale green, yellow, blue, tan. I love the bedding--I think that color scheme could last for years!

So, I am going to paint my bedroom a maroon color. I am so lost on what color of a bed comforter to buy. I thought about getting a maroon one, but I feel like that would be too much maroon. My curtains, dresser, mirror, and bed frame are all white!

I was thinking of a maroon and white as well. But I kind of also like the idea of gold and white. I don't know. I am just confused. I am also confused on what type of pattern and style to get on the comforter as well. I need opinions!
