What colors would match?

Question

I'm having a hard time redecorating my room. I just bought a new duvet cover, which is a plain rich dark brown. Then I bought a rusty orange throw for the end of my bed. Then I also bought a pillow sham that was rusty orange with a paisley design on it. I want to add like a turquoise color or maybe a green? My walls are a ivory color and the trim around my room is white. What color/colors would match with the brown and rusty orange?

Answer 1

Both colors you suggested would work. The critical element here is to include a pattern of some sort. So far it looks very "safe" with mostly solid colors. Pull in some accent colors for the accessories or lamp shade, etc... include both the colors you like. I love that you have selected items that are not all "matchy"- It just doesn't look "designed" if it's all coodinating components. Michele

Answer 2

turquoise would be cute.

but so would white or ivory!

Answer 3

I think the turquoise would work nicely with the orange and brown. You could also use some of the colors in the paisley fabric.
