How to balance patterns and solids when designing a bed?

bedroom decor nautical image

K

I'm redecorating my bedroom. I'm doing a nautical theme of white, navy, and red (like, bright red pops of color). I can't find a bedding collection that fits my taste, so I am putting my bed together. I have a twin bed, and I want a sheet set, duvet, light quilt/coverlet, and a standard sham to match the duvet. This is the duvet and sham I'm getting:

And this is the quilt I'm interested in:

However, I don't know if this is...
1. Too much navy and white and no red pop
2. Not matching shades of blue/navy
3. Too many patterns!!!

I don't know what sheets to get. Best answer is the one with an answer to the patterns question and help with getting a bit of red pop. Bonus would be if there was a suggestion as to sheets (e.g. red and white stripe, red, white with red border, navy, etc.)
Thanks in advance!!!

You really do have an eye for this type of decor.
Here are the best sheets in the world :http://www.garnethill.com/garnet-hill-signature-scalloped-percale-bedding/bedding-bath/sheets/solid-color-sheets/279430?defattrib=&defattribvalue=&listIndex=13
Now pick out red accent pieces .http://www.target.com/p/crystal-table-lamp-red-shade-includes-cfl-bulb/-/A-13361820#prodSlot=large_2_20
You can make wall decor like this. Use white, red and blue fabric in the frames.http://media-cache-ec5.pinterest.com/upload/72690981455005051_ejx4VTCm_b.jpg
Here is another DIY wall decor. Get some star fish and mount them in shadow boxes or even on mirrors :http://www.google.com/search?q=framed+star+fish&hl=en&tbo=u&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&rlz=1I7ADRA_enUS359&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=06ngUPuMHs6Q0QHkxoDgDA&ved=0CEAQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=645

How do I decorate my new room?

Okay so my older brother is going to college. He has the biggest room in the house. My parents said when he moves out I can have his room and turn my old room into a hangout place for me and my friends. I am a 16 year old girl. Any ideas for my new room or anything cool to do with my old room to make it a cool hang out for me and my friends. And please don't make it anything expensive, I have a super small budget.

Answer
for the hangout room-how about a Tv (maybe from a second hand shop of some kind), couches, bean bag chairs or floor pillows, cool lighting (fake lanterns, color changing mood lamps, christmas light strings), a game table of some kind (pool, fooseball, hockey), or a table for doing board games and puzzles. maybe a fish tank or a place to keep some other pet like a hamster.

if it isnt carpeted, a nice rug would be nice.

for either room-maybe you want to go with a theme? heres my list fo themes i want to do someday:
underwater
roman
egyptian
asian
princess
tropical
safari
ship/nautical
storm
halloween
tiki
treehouse
desert tent
gothic
jungle temple
castle
forest
beach
cave
east indian
mystic
barn
Train
aztec
1950's art deco/diner décor
Cabin
campsite
Starry night/enchanted forest
Four seasons
Bordello
Arabian/moroccan
Sci-fi
English countryside

for your bedroom-maybe a cosy chair for reading. a nice desk for doing work. maybe a bigger bed? again cool/relaxing lighting.

have fun! rememebr you can make neat decorations or get neat ones from the party store or a dollar store!
