Question:Painting a room to match this comforter:

and these sheets:
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.
I would like to have four colors:
light pink, light brown, dark pink, and dark brown
What do you think about having one wall with big squares with the four colors in random patterns and then painting the other four walls each of the colors?
Any other ideas please!!
Answers:
Love the set! You could do, depending on how artistic and creative you are feeling, or if you know someone who is: you could paint the walls the light pink in the set and using the darker pink and brown, paint the outline of those hibiscus flowers on the comforter, but do fairly large ones.
Roughly, if you could trace the flower onto tracing paper, then use the stencil mylar and trace it again onto that, you should be able to make your own stencil to do it.
As for your ideas, if you want the shapes, I would do maybe rectangles to mimic the stripes in the comforter rather than squares. Polka dots might be a bit much with the sheets.
Or, how about something like this set of self-adhesive cut-outs from Wallies:

After looking at the spread and sheets you may want to keep the paint job simpler because of the pattern in the set. If there is a particular color you want to concentrate on out of the four you could paint all four walls that color and that would make that color stand out in the set as well.
half and half of two favorite colors [all the way around the room].and a separater of the two others colors. how can your idea work...do you have a five wall bedroom? if so then your idea seems very cute!
OPTIONS:
1] paint two facing [ say, north and south ] the dark pink, and paint the flower image on the throw pillow in dark brown in one of them. Paint other two walls [ east and west ] light pink.
2] paint diagonal stripes on each wall -
a] north and south, from bottom left to top right; and east - west, form top left to bottom right.
b] Paint a 6 inch wide dark brown stripe, with a 3 inch white stripe on either side.
c] paint top of north - south walls light pink, and bottoms dark pink.
d] paint top of east - west walls light brown, and bottoms dark brown.
options - or do the light pink and light brown together; and the darks together.
4] do 2 light pink walls with dark pink and dark brown polka dots; and the other two light brown with both dark dots.
5] paint the flower strip design as a border or halfway up the walls.
6] do an Andy Warhol - use one wall, starting about halfway up [ so not hidden by furniture ] . paint four equal rectangles to form a larger one. [ each section = 3 feet long by x 2 feet wide, so total would be 6' by 4', or you can alter to suit.
top left section dk. pink with lt. brown flower on pillow;
top right lt. brown with dk. pink flower;
bottom left lt. pink with dk. brown flower;
bottom right dk. brown with lt. pink flower.
Leave the ceiling white - they are hard enough to paint in a solid color!
