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 (just mattress and base for now, might add a bedhead later) 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

Thoughts? Am I completely off-track with the colour? And any other suggestions are welcome anyway - I have to do the 16YO's room as well, and I'd like a different accent in there.
