Bedding Color for Lavender Room?

[salsah]

We may end up having to use furniture for the girls' room that my in-laws purchased. although nicely designed and excellent quality, it is not my taste at all. the furniture (including the head boards) is all a pale lavender color. i'm trying to find some nice bedding but i'm not sure which colors would look good with the lavender furniture. any ideas?

tia!

DD's room is a pale lavender and I think pink would go well with the lavender. Maybe something pink and white with a few lavender accents.
I am looking at these:

I've been seeing a lot of plum with lavender and I think its a pretty combination. It compliments the lavender, as opposed to "matching" it or fighting it.

Green, a green in the same hue as lavender. They are both secondary colors. Or yellow, a contrasting color to lavender.

White, tan, cream, yellow, purple/blue, green (as pp mentioned in same hue) Treat it as a neutral and most solids will go or find a nice print with a little lavender or purple and it should work. I actually just bought the cutest coat for DD which is RED with Purple lining. Stunning. You never know what will work. I've always loved Navy and lavendar together too.

:yeahthat: I love the soft pastels together. DD's room is lavender and a lot of her accents are either pink or brown. It looks nice.

How about something like this?

DD's previous room (old house) had lavender walls, a PBK carpet with lavender and a soft sagey green, and then we used a twin quilt I already had in soft sage and cream. Looked cute together IMO.

You can totally do pink too.

:yeahthat:. I also think brown would be really pretty.

Our girls' room is lavender and green, and it's really pretty. :) We got the idea from PBK.

thanks for the ideas. i didn't think to treat it as a neutral. i've never had colored furniture and wasn't sure how to deal with it. i would love to do green, but i'm sure that the girls will want some pink in there too. hopefully i can find something in pink and/or green with lavender accents that both the girls and i like.
