I could really do with some ideas for colors for my bedroom please.
I recently bought a comforter set with chocolate, tan and black in it. My walls are cream and I am reluctant to make the room much darker than it already is.
There is a lot that would go with your comforter but it very much depends on the look you are going for.

Using cream and gold would be most suitable if this is a
