What do you think? Bedding Question.

Okay - I am really sorry to be indundating the board with opinion questions...but DH is really of no use in this department..I am buying this bedding and we are painting the walls a brown color with white trim...and we are getting white furniture...is this bedding gonna look weird...or will I be okay?

Re: What do you think? Bedding Question.

I like the bedding but I think the white furniture with a mostly white comforter might be just too much white- what about going with a light blue set?

Didn't you photoshop it in? I think it will look great.

People with wood furniture get brown bedding. Chat Icon

Re: What do you think? Bedding Question.

That pic is not my bed...its from the JCPenney website...I dont have a pic of my bed as I am too embarassed to take pics of my room with how it looks at the moment. This is what I am planning on having in the room:

I will have dark brown walls
White trim
An white furniture (when we buy it)
The bedding in the pic (which is a sort of khaki with green and taupe flowers)

My questions is...will the bedding look okay with brown walls with white trim and white furniture...or should I try and find bedding with more white in it.

Definitely. I think it has plenty of white in it.

I'm a big fan of buying and if it doesn't work out - returning. Even if I have to pay return shipping costs.

If it's from JCP you can buy online and return to the store.

Re: What do you think? Bedding Question.

personally, i think the off white/khaki color of the bedding might look too 'dirty' on white furniture.
It would go with the brown walls, and even white trim.. but having it on a white bed might not work.
but it's hard to say
sorry.. not much help

Actually the bed is the only thing that will not be white...my husband is a carpenter and custom made a platform bed with storage draws under the bed because we had to buy a California King Mattress (DH is 6'9" and we needed the extra inches in length)..anyway, the bed is stained a nice dark wood color which will work with the wall color and trim, but I just want to make the room a little brighter (as its a small room) and get white furniture...I am not a big fan or light wood furniture...if you get nice furniture its really expensive and the cheap furniture that you can get in light wood looks awful IMHO

I think it would look AWESOME! We have dark brown/chocolate brown walls in our room with white trim and white furniture and the white looks fantastic against the brown! I love the green accents too!!!!!

white, off white, cream, anything like that all goes together. I have white white and a slight off white stuff in our Family Room. I think it goes fine.

Take this picture. It has off white/cream chairs, the brighter white trim, off white walls and light beige/cream curtains, plus of course the brown. I think it all goes together and is gorgeous. Through your green into the mix and you now have a nice pop of color. Chat Icon Go for your bedding. It's gorgeous.

Here is another great pic with whites, creams and brown in it.

Re: What do you think? Bedding Question.

I really loke the bedding and think it would look great with the brown walls, It's definitely enough white and I like that it has a pop of color.
