What's a good color to use for a window scarf?

My bedroom walls are white(it's an apt so I can't paint them :( and my quilt is green(like sage green) and so are my pillow shams, and window sheer panels, and I want to add a window scarf of a different color in order to bring a little more life to the room so, what color would go with the green I already have on my sheer panels? Oh...I almost forgot to mention that my sheets are ivory, and that I prefer more pastel colors as opposed to dark ones. Any decorators around? or anyone got suggestions? Thanx.

What's a good color to use for a window scarf?
choose a sheer window scarf with a texture or embroidery on them... it will add interest on your windows... you either can go with the rosy and peachy tones or the blue and lavender tones close to the ones you've got in your quilt which goes well with the sage green and ivory. Since you can't paint your walls invest in wall decor and maybe add a different headboard that will give you the look of cottage or beach house.
Reply:I think an ivory to accent the color scheme you already have going on your bed details. I have sheers and scarves in my bedroom as well. If you are looking for a cheaper way of doing this, look at the cheap fabric that is at Wal-Mart. I live in Alabama and I bought the fabric for my scarves for $1.00 a yard. It may take a few weeks for them to get in the color you need, but the savings is worth it. Also, you could try draping 2 colors rather than just one. I have beige sheers and then I have 2 different colors of brown as my scarves and it really adds to the look. Good Luck!
