2-part bedding question

Our bedroom walls are a medium gray and our furniture is black.  It seems like the black is drawing out some blue tones in the walls.  I'd like to minimize that as much as possible so should I go with dark or light bedding and window treatments?

As for bedding, I have a nice sized credit to West Elm and was thinking of investing in a big, fluffy duvet.  Would you recommend their bedding and if so, any suggestions on which of their duvets are best?

TIA

  • and by "duvet" I really mean "comforter" Smile
  • I have never shopped there, but you could do any color.  Black and grey look great with everything.  Just choose a favorite color and go with it.   I checked out that site, and you could do a light yellow comforter with grey, that would keep it simple and light, butimage
  • I was trying to get away from the blues too, I have grey walls in my guest bedroom and I mean, I lvoe blue, but it seems everything in my house is blue, its my fav.  Lol.   This would be nice, or even just doing grey comforter?  You could always use a little small items to bring in color?

     

  • I love the clean look of all-white bedding. If you did that, you could get a few throw pillows in an accent color. I would just pick a color I love to brighten things up.

    I have sheets from West Elm that I think are sub-par. Maybe the thread count is low but they aren't plush enough. While I don't have comforters from there, I do have some living room throw pillows that I love (with washable covers). Maybe if you do the accent pillows, you can get them there. They also have lovely textured throw blankets that you could use to add that pop of color.

  • With that combination I'd go for light color like cream, white, light grey for windows and with fuchsia or any other strong color for comforter - to pop out the bed as the focus point of the bedroom...
