My DD (13) is having her NE facing bedroom decorated in Farrow and Ball Vardo on one and a half walls- it’s a strange shape. The other walls will be Strong White.
I'm looking for a fabric to make blinds and cushions which will go with the colours and are suitable for a teenager. The furniture is white and the bedding is also white.

Depends what she likes.

I like this one. I think a pop of a coral colour would complement nicely

depends on budget and how outrageous her style is. I like Emma Shipley, but I appreciate they are pretty bold and out there . There are lots with turquoise/teal shades which would work.

I usually cheat with kids rooms and buy duvet covers they like and sew black out fabric between the layers, hem to the length and add header tape. Usually a cheap way of making curtains for kids rooms.

rather less bold choice

if she likes leopard print, there are lots of colourful versions. My (slightly younger daughter) would love a bit of leopard print.

my sons would hate all of my suggestions and opt for a plain navy.

@babyboyHarrison

Thank you so much for those suggestions. I love Emma Shipley one.
I’ll take your duvet cover idea on board. That sounds so good.
She doesn’t like leopard print, sadly. Apparently as I like it so much it’s put her off!

Have a look at Zobo designs - the local upholstery shop near me quite often uses their fabric and I've got a few bits and pieces and a blind I made myself to compliment a footstool I bought that people always comment on. Really good quality fabric.

I love having fabric made from spoonflower - particularly as you can choose different types of fabric/wallpaper etc for the same pattern. I used one of their designs to vinyl wrap the fridge in my utility, then made a matching ironing board cover.

Thank you. I’ll look at those too.
