I'm planning to chuck pretty much everything in my 13YO son's room and start from scratch. We'll be doing it on a budget, so IKEA will be the source for desk, bookcases, shelves and bedside table. Those will all be in black-brown. A new king single bed and he'll be all set as far as furniture goes....
So now I need to find some decorative touches that will suit a boy. Bedlinen shouldn't be too difficult - he's way past the age of cartoon character quilt covers, so I'll probably go with a stripe or other bold pattern.
The room is painted in Wattyl Castilian with one feature wall in Blue Earth. Trims are in Pearly Gates, a slightly creamy off-white. Carpet is a kind of mushroom colour, fairly light really, and the window has a light beige roller blind.
This isn't his room, it's his brother's, but its the same colours:

I'd like to tie in the blue and the light brown tones, but keep things mostly light, especially given the dark furniture. Maybe something like this:

The linen shouldn't be a major headache. More importantly (and here's where I want some assurance that I'm on the right track...or tell me if I'm nuts, PLEASE ), I'd like to add an accent colour and I'm thinking perhaps red? Just an ottoman, like this, and maybe one piece of art that has some red in it somewhere....

Thoughts? Am I completely off-track with the colour?
