I would like to start deocrating our guest room. Here is a quilt I will be using. It is a very meaningful piece, so I guess it will have to serve as the inspiration piece. I'm not sure what color to paint the walls. Maybe a robbin's egg blue? If so, what color valance or curtains? I was thinking probably white. Any thoughts or advice? I don ( Read more... )

My opinion: the predominant color when I look at that is pink, which is warm. I think putting blue on the walls will compete. Yellow, OTOH, is bright and sunny without being too "pastel-rainbow-y" and would complement the pink in the quilt nicely. White trim and window treatments against a soft yellow looks fresh, summery, and lovely in a bedroom.

Good point! I guess I originally wanted to stay away from yellow, since my son's room is yellow. But I suppose if it works, then it doesn't matter. I do love that color on walls, so cheery. That is the first color my husband came up with too to go with the quilt. I have taken some very pretty close-ups of flowers recently. Do you think they would go well blown up and in frames against a yellow wall. Let me guess... in white frames? :-) Thanks, I almost made a big mistake and would be regretting it probably.

I love the quilt.

I think Big Bold Flowers could be very nice. I agree with the white frames.

Some flowers with a circular pattern (like a daisy or even a rose) or a star shape over the head of the bed would reflect the pattern of the quilt.

Absolutely Beautiful!!!! All would work well. I think #3 would be stunning. And it highlights the center star of the quilt.

Now for some odd ideas. Do you have anymore closeups of the cool flowers in #1 & #3? Using two pictures side by side could be really cool.

What about flipping #3 and using the two pictures as mirror images next to each other over the bed,

or #3 then #1(in the middle and then #3(Flipped)

In my opinion you need to find a place to use them all. Absolutely beautiful.
