Hubby and I are trying to bring some positive vibes into our bedroom to jump kick a BFP for us... so we got new bedding and are looking for curtains... what color curtains do you think? What material? Silk duponi? Velvet? Linen? Help!!! The wall color is going to be lilac bisque which is a light purple... (ignore the toddler)

What about a dark plum curtain to pull in more purple & it would help keep light out & you could throw a dark purple pillow or two on the bed to tie it all together 
I like the idea of silk duponi, but would go wtih a solid color for sure so they don't take away from the pretty detail of the comforter (which is beautiful!.)

I will not ignore the toddler, he's one of my faves! 
I LOVE the new bedding-I think velvet would be very very gorgeous! I hope the new bedding brigs lots of mama & dada time and a BFP!!!

I really like the look of tone on tone, so I would do a color similar to the wall color, maybe a shade or two deeper?

I can't ignore him! He is too cute!
I like the dark plum curtain idea! With some throw pillows in a dark and light purple, it would pull it all together.

I think a dark gray would be really pretty. Love bedding, and the toddler!

I think silk duponi would work really nicely. I would just be afraid of grubby toddler hands though.

@littlek: I looked there for some curtains but didn't see any. What do they have on the online pics of the set?

@littlek: Oh course it is the one time, they don't show curtains with a the bedding!
Do you think these in flagstone would go? Bring in color on the walls and throw pillows?

@littlek: I'm sure you can find something similar from Home Goods for cheaper! I bought a mini one for LO's room for $50.

@Smurfette: @littlek: To piggy back on to @Smurfette:'s suggestion for the drapes in Flagstone, what about using Flagstone as your third throw pillow color to tie in the color?
ETA: This sham would also provide additional texture in your fabrics.

@Smurfette: Pretty! I wish they weren't $126 a panel though. We have 3 windows in our bedroom. 
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@littlek: I hear ya! We have two windows and 2 sets of french doors, so we had to buy 6 panels. So we went the Target route.

@Smurfette: Nice!!! I sent all the options: west elm, pottery barn and target to Dave... we will see what he chooses.. my guess is PB.. he has expensive taste
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@littlek: Well at least if he chooses them, then he can't get mad for you spending the money!

They aren't super thick (which I don't really care because we use them for decoration rather than insulation), but I have had lots of luck at zgallerie for panels and it looks like a few of these options could go with your decor. Good luck!
