What shall I do with this wallpaper?

This is what I inherited in my new house.
I was trying to live with it as I do love it, but I'm struggling to figure out what colour curtains and duvet cover.
Have white shutters like this but do need curtains as the light pours in through the top windows.
I bought a peachy colour plain duvet but it's a bit too pink for my liking.
I don't want green.

Shall I just give up and paint it all white? I like patterned duvet covers, which I just can't have with this wallpaper

How about a denim blue colour, as there are touches of blue in the wallpaper? Really plain washed denim colour/cotton for contrast....

Is this William Morris? It's really lovely, but I think it needs to take pride of place, so lovely, pure white bedding and a coral throw and two blue or green velvet cushions- quite big ones. Would look v classy.

Definitely William Morris that - is the background a linen colour? That would look good for curtains.

Yes it's William Morris. I had the same paper on my last house, but in blue, and just one small wall. Coincidence!
The blue in that first photo doesn't really stand out in real life.
I think the coral is the stand out colour (aside from the green)
The linen colour is a more of a very pale peach, not beige.
I usually think white bedlinen goes with anything, but not here for some reason.

The blue doesn't stand out at the moment but perhaps it would if you put blue with it.

I would aim to co-ordinate with either the blue or the coral colours depending on what I want to do with my room.

This bedspread would like nice with it: perfect colours:

And then keep the rest of the room very plain (oak furniture, beige carpet, curtains etc).

If not white, splash out on some natural, linen sheets/ cover. Will be so soft and the unstructured look will be a contrast to the formal wallpaper. Then the coral.throw and whatever cushions would be divine.

I would use light blue accents, and neutral (linen colour) bedspread and curtains.
