1. i wouldnt paint them to match your sheets, because that would be overkill, your room would just look silly, a purple might go well with the colors though
2. blue ( switch ur theme to DOLPHINS)
3. omg same here i love zebra print! my room is a turquoise blue and i have zebra print bedding and blankets.and then what i did was put lime green lamp shades and then purple pillow covers on. you can find cheap zebra print blankets that are really really cute on target.com
4. Well, my friend is really into zebra print too. But she painted her room bright pink. Personally, I think that the best colors to go with Zebra print are: pink & yellow. but that's just me. Green & white are cute too. Check some of these bedding sets out: http://www.artisticsensations.com/content/images/animalprint5.jpg love this one: http://www.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/18/e/AAAADPqBmesAAAAAABjmkw.jpg well idk if i was any help or not. hope i was.
5. I think a turquoise color or a sky blue color would be nice and would match well with your sheets. I don't know what they look like really, but a green-blue color especially would be great. It would match but still be toned down enough. You can always change the sheets and still have a relaxing color in your room that's great for studying in, or reading, etc. I'm 16 and I painted my walls all lime green last year, it's a little overwhelming actually. I love the color though and it gives the room a lot of energy, but it's a little distracting and hard to match if you want to get new bedding or curtains. However, If you really want to use green try a paler or lighter shade, like a spring green. It'll still look cool but look more relaxing and sophisticated. You can search color wheels on Google and see what matches. When I painted I just went to the home improvement store and picked out some color samples (the paper ones). They're free and you can put them against the wall and see which one looks best. :) I hope I helped you out. It was really hard for me to pick a color, my walls were plain off-white at first. Good luck. ^_^ Lauren
6. Maybe have a magnolia or white walls. Then you can't go wrong as everything goes white white! When you get bored of you zebra print bedding you can change it and not worry about it not matching your walls. Just add colour with curtains, bedsheets and paintins etc..
7. well you should paint your wall lime green and white with a zebra print design
8. so you have the bed sheets zebra and green than i think you should paint your room purple or pink not to match the green but to contrast with the green so im thinking if the bedding is the green of the ask answer discover ^^* icons than id do a strong purple at least on the one wall where your bed is and you can do purple green purple green or purple white what ever other colour you like with the purple but i think that the green and purple are hot colours together so have fun and experiment!!
9. I would keep it the same color as the sheets. Two many colors and a print can be overpowering and very busy, making your room feel closed in and much smaller. Try to keep it to the three colors, lime green, black, and white. Hope I turns out as awesome as it sounds!
10. You could paint one wall in the lime green or teal blue and the other 3 walls in white. That way it is not too much green and easy to change out when you want a new look. Black picture frames would go well on the walls and go well with the zebra print. Pick out a cool poster picture with the zebra print to tie it all in. Here is a link for a cool example of zebra art. You can buy the poster frames for less than $20.00 at places like Walmart, Kmart, Lowe's. http://www.nichcy.org/InformationResources/PublishingImages/zebra.gif http://images.google.com/images?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&q=zebra+posters&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=D-t9SvX6BqKNtgfeqJnzAQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4 Here is some wall sticker art and stenciling ideas, too. Perhaps use a design in black and white on the walls. The stickers can be easily removed and moved around for a new look, too. http://www.roommatespeelandstick.com/WallDecor/Class-A-Peel__RMK1173GM.aspx http://www.roommatespeelandstick.com/WallDecor/Deco-Mums-Wall-Stickers__RMK1349GM.aspx http://www.roommatespeelandstick.com/WallDecor/Tree-Branches-Wall-Stickers__RMK1317GM.aspx http://www.roommatespeelandstick.com/WallDecor/Themes/KidsDecorating/Dots.aspx Maybe you could add a zebra rug next to your bed. I hope this is of some help to you. Have fun and make your room to show your personality and interests.
