That is a whole lot of question, there, and difficult to comment on the unseen furn. pieces, but a couple thoughts to start the ball rolling: Yes, you can combine patterns.Take your major colors (navy, white , red/orange) and look for patterns of different sizes and percentages:70% navy in a toile,20%navy in a stripe, etc. Gather your softgood selections together before selecting paint shades,for better accuracy in wall color. Carry colors into the kitchen by painting your chairs, and through softgood display ( tablecloth, towels, apron) as well as everyday work items routinely left out. Keep trim colour the same thoughout the space. You might slipcover the chairs at the ends of the table in a different fabric, but rather than a pattern, consider a plain fabric w accents like a monogram or stamped design to transition from the remaining patterned chairs to the couch slipcover. In general, I'd shy from painting large pieces black in a small space, but without knowing your other selections, can not make specific suggestions.( I wonder if navy might look well, when all is put together? Perhaps your fabric choices will be so sharp that a neutral off-white is begged for...) Continue to post as you make decisions, and more folks will join in. Looking forwad to seeing what you decide!

samr63, Honestly, I think this space is quite beautiful and perhaps you're thinking too much about the elephant in the room so to speak!! If there is one thing I have learned on Houzz, is that there does not have to be a specific style in one room and what I mean is, you have a modern bed but it doesn't take away from the antique fireplace nor vice versa. Definitely as I mentioned earlier, the tall boy doesn't gel at all, nor do the bedsides, but purely because of colour, so I would out them and match the bed with your bedside tables and just stop, the room is very elegant and I really can't see anything seriously wrong with it!!! Perhaps a lovely painting on the bed head wall would soften the room as it's a shame not to use at least one of the picture rails in this room!!! Good luck with your decision. Cheers, Barbara

So excited to here about your theme! We are currently extending our house with a similar theme and colour style. We have gone with 'Solver Parchment' in our kitchen (and most of the new section actually), it is not a yellow or cream colour, more of a beige undertone. Lots of warmth and not too strong. Quite similar to half strength Dulux Hog Bristle. (We don't have kitchen cabinets just yet). In the master bedroom we have gone with 'Taubmans Morning Fog ' which is a lovely duck eggy blue colour, very calming. Could also work with your blue accents. Both match with my Laura Ashley wallpaper feature walls very nicely (Laura Ashley Josette in Duck Egg and Sable). Ceiling, cornice, archs and skirts etc all in 'Wattyl Magic White'. Nice and fresh. See pics - please excuse the samples messiness, they have been rolling around in my glove box for a while. Look forward to hearing what you go with and seeing a pic.

Daniel Lindahl - I didn't say to get rid of it - I just said to change it for something else - I have a 70's home owner built - cavity brick - Daniel sometimes it is working with what you have in order to keep costs down - paintings - if you have several - can be changed around your home for a interesting look - as our homes are our homes - the paintings - can always be shared in various rooms/walls to suit ones mood.
