Bedroom Curtain Colour Choices Opinions Please

I'm struggling over the colour direction for our basement guest bedroom.

I love the fresh new Benjamin Moore Cotton Ball walls but I'm stuck on curtain colours. I tried the blue paisley Waverly print I sewed...

and I sewed a white cotton pair from a Land's End king sheet. (I haven't spent a lot of time on getting good lighting for photos quite yet, too much to do still.)

Before I make little curtains for the other two tiny windows, I thought I would ask for the opinions of my friends and readers.

I like lots of white but with blue and wood tones as well. The following are my inspiration photos, but I'm not planning on copying them, rather just using them loosely for a 'feel' and colours. I also don't want to spend too much on new items and hope to re purpose and collect items.

So my question is should I use the blue paisley and use lots of blue and white for linens and accessories in the room....

or should I use the lighter white curtains and touches of blue?

The carpeting is grey. The ticking and flannel quilt and paisley curtains both have grey in them. The bedskirt is blue denim but I could sew a white one. I have lots of white textiles for pillows.

I would love love to hear your opinions and ideas. Today I am leaning towards the white curtains and maybe using the denim and plaid quilt folded at the end of the bed. What I would really love is a white coverlet. What do you think?
