Need some bedding help - can't decide

So I bought this at the outlet a few weeks ago

But in Blue Front

I love it, but the colors/patterns are a little overwhelming. We have black furniture, and our walls are a light mocha. I was thinking about getting a pickstich quilt to break up the pattern, but can't decide which color...

And then....which do I use as the main quilt and which do I fold at the end of the bed.

Decisions, decisions.
thanks!!

I'd go with the tan or green bedspread cover.

I think I would go with the blue.

I think it will really pop against your dark furniture and walls!

The duvet is really pretty!

I'd go with the blue and use that as the spread and fold the patterned quilt at the bottom. That would break up the pattern for you if you find it too overwhelming.

I like the bedding. I would go with the blue quilt. See which looks better folded at the bottom.

Ooh...maybe they'll have solid ones at the outlet. I didn't want to spend too much, so I hadn't even considered PB. Thanks.

Re: Need some bedding help - can't decide

While I have super-mod tastes, I must say your blue / green / cream quilt is REALLY CUTE! Me like Chat Icon

When using patterns with a lot of colors, I usually choose to take the most neutral one and repeat it elsewhere to create pattern vs solid balance. Taking one of the other colors could make the room look a bit busy, since there are both blocks of color and pattern in the room.

If it were me, Id get the quilt, and matching sheets, in that wonderfully rich ivory color.... (you didn't post that quilt option, though...)
