To ask how you’d decorate your bedroom around this bed?

About a year ago I chose this bed for my bedroom, not really thinking about how hard it would be to decorate a bedroom around it. But, it’s what I’m stuck with. I have the light pink walls at the moment, which almost look like bare plaster. But I really want to make a change. Just not entirely sure what colour would be best?!

All furniture is light wood. I can get new bedding - I currently have an orange checkerboard set on and I quite like the contrast of the blue and orange. But any tips are welcome!

A warm neutral? Dulux Egyptian cotton? It's not cream and it's not grey. Then pick up the teal or a contrasting orange in the soft furnishings?

We have the same headboard & went for light grey walls & curtains in the same blue as the headboard (Dunelm if you're interested). It's lovely & restful & we're so glad we went for those colours.

Oh light grey sounds good! I wasn’t sure whether to lean into the colours and go for quite a chaotic, colourful room!
