Narrow your focus. You're getting too overwhelmed with the big picture. Start with one thing that you like - whether it's a color or a bedspread or whatever - and then build on that.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

Or consider a wallpaper. That's one of the simplest ways to bring in all of the colors that you like. Here are some cool wallpapers in colors that you mentioned:

Then get bedding in complementary colors. This is my favorite site for bedding:

As for the placement of your bed, it should be the focal point. So put it diagonally opposite your bedroom door. That way it's the first thing that you see when you walk in & it makes the room seem more spacious.
