What colour curtains and light fitting with this wall paper

[m0therofdragons]

Dd is 10 and we're decorating her bedroom but so far she's chosen the wall paper.

I'm rubbish at designing and much prefer it when they sell matching curtains and wallpaper so I really need help from much more stylish mnetters than me. Any advice/suggestions?

Its a tricky one that.

I would put maybe a light pink with it and cream cushions etc.

Its not the type of wallpaper i would of thought a 10 year old would pick

Really? She loves duck egg blue (as do all her friends) and the peacock has a silver shiny tail. She loves birds.

She definitely doesn't want any sign of pink.

I'd either match the background colour or go with cream, like the colour of the panelling in the photo.

I'd maybe look at greys for curtains and walls, pick pinks and greens in cushions/bedding/throws.

My immediate though was a darker duck egg blue. Something to pick out the peacock’s body.

I would have thought a turquoise colour too, like a Peacock's body, but I tend to go for quite bold colours.

Beautiful wallpaper OP. Very stylish and grown-up choice for your DD to make that should last well into her late teens.

As far as design goes, I would take the duck-egg blue as your 'base' colour and use different shades (lighter and darker). It would look very effective to only paper 3 walls, then paint the remaining wall (maybe where the bed is, depending upon size of the room), in the darkest shade of duck-egg found on the wallpaper.

Only use cream/white for ceiling and woodwork (skirting/windows & sills/door & frame etc) to keep it looking sophisticated.

Use silver/chrome as an accent colour for lighting.

Then be brave as far as curtains/bedding/cushions go and let your DD choose 2 (or at the most 3), bright colours. You say she doesn't like pink, so personally, I think mustard yellow/ochre green/aubergine purple OR lime green/deep turquoise/magenta would work brilliantly.

What about some creamy or off white curtains with duck egg blue pom-pom trimming?

@confused32 I love that idea - where do I get curtains like that from?

Unfortunately I don't know where to get exactly same ones, but you can buy curtains just without it and then buy separately pom-pom trimming and just glue it on with some fabric glue.
Take a look on Ebay there is a lot of pom-pom trimmings in different sizes and colours.
Hopefully it helped a little bit.:)

Egg shell blue or a vintage dusty rose for a pop of colour.

Yellow curtains would look lovely with that blue-green shade!

I’m guessing her furniture is white/off white/cream so I would go with the peacocks body colour (or similar) for curtains albeit I live the Pom Pom idea! You could get a normal ceiling light pendant and bedside light and add the same Pom poms. You could go cream/white Pom poms with turquoise blind/curtains/lights or vice versa
