It’s cheaper to paint a room than buy new furniture. Try a soft apricot color, that will go with the tan furniture and the orange bedding. Don’t know about the pink curtains though…
blue is a very calming color (light blue) and brings in a lot of light which will make your small room appear larger. My room is currently light blue and i love it. I get migranes often and i find my room is the most calming room to be in when i feel like that. It’s serious but light at the same time, which is great for working or playing piano. your tan furniture will still go very well. Orange will also be good with blue so that’s great. and for the curtains….i would change them to a black & white pattern? something that birngs a little zip into the room and make it stand out. good luck
well then, you’ll need to paint it a tranquil relaxing color.
soft green or off white. hospitals often use those colors. or tan and off white. these are my favs. .
nix the orange.
you need two main colors and a complimentary color.
The walls and furniture would be good main colors. the bedding and curtains should combine the two main colors. accents throws, soft pink, off white, is pretty with soft green.
For me personally a cool soothing color is light blue. Almost icy. I’ve always had my room blue. I like yellow rooms too, but I don’t think orange would would with that. My suggestion is get a color swatch book and look at the colors against what you want to keep, i.e. the bedding, etc. Remember one important thing: You can paint over it if you don’t like it! Paint isn’t permanent!
Cream and find the lowest price. Also, suggestion pastel curtains would look great too. It will make the room look awesome. Good luck..
A warm putty shade would be restful and so would a very pale peaceful green – just a hint.It needs to be pale in a small room, and it is also helpful to limit the number of colours you have. Sounds like a good idea to change the curtains if you want to keep the orange bedding. You might find a curtain fabric with the same background as your choice of wall colour with a few threads of the orange or tan. Or match plain coloured but textured curtains to the wall colour and try tan tiebacks? Contrasting curtains will make the room seem smaller. Reflecting the light will be as important as reflecting your personality so position a mirror to reflect the window. Your personality will be shown by the accessories you have – your books and music will have you at least half way there. (And the room can’t be all that small if its got a piano in it!)
The Aries color is red because you have to do with passion and Mars. I think you should try a deep, rich red color. It is soothing, goes with orange and pink. Here is kind of what I was thinking.
This color is Benjamin Moore Sundried Tomato:

You could also try a light blue color or a dark blue… that would match and be a very soothing color.
This is a light blue color:

Here is a dark blue color (you can see how there is pink and a little orange that would match well plus it is a great color for relaxation):
