Need decorating help

I am trying to figure out what kind of curtains would go nicely with my bedding. I have Bamboo Flowers by Calvin Klein

Our walls are beige, since we rent and I am not allowed to paint. I have a dark wood sleigh bed and most of the accents in the room are gold. We have hardwood floors and mosly likely will buy a pretty neurtal beige area rug. Any suggestions?

Here is a very bad picture of my room (don't mind the mess, I was packing for my HM)

What about doing two tones navy and gold? Keep in mind I am terrible at decorating! Good luck.

Maybe a pewter color...or, since we're going into the colder months, pulling the darker color (I think it's a deep purple) and using that.

First, I love that bedding!

I think that you should try to get something in a solid color. Maybe a darker khaki (it seems there is khaki-but I can't tell) or maybe a deep purple. I think that would look nice with your gold accents!

Funny! I have the same set and for almost a year I haven't put up curtains for the same reason. Pewter sounds like a good idea, let me know what you decide.

Re: Need decorating help

Also the Curtain Store in Massapequa has a nice selection and are usually cheaper then Pottery Barn.
