  Have you tried Etsy for a more customized bedding? I have seen some great sets over there.  If you use the set pictured I would probably go for a lighter, simple color since the bedding is already so busy.  Either using the a light blue or pale sage green color.  Once you order the bedding you can always take the pillow case which seems to have polka dots of the main colors used in the bedding to the paint store and pick a shade or two lighter than one of the polka dots.

  I'm not sure if I'm seeing all of the colors correctly in the picture, but is there a tan or gray in there? If so, I think I'd so 3 of the walls that neutral color and mayone one wall the dark navy.

  I was also having a really hard time fiding bedding for a "big boy" room for DS and I ended doing what you're thinking about. I got neutral bedding and then am decorating with the theme stuff thoughout the room. I figure this will last longer and be easier to change.

  This!  I think since you have such bright, vibrant colors in the bedding (and sounds like the art work), you should do a more neutral wall.  I have a friend who did a "Hungry Caterpillar" theme-lots of bright primary colors and had 3 walls beige and the wall behind the bed navy with pine furniture- it looks fabulous.

  Another idea- if you love your artwork, let that make the motif and just order different color solid bedding to pull out the colors from the art (i.e. red pillows, blue comforter, yellow sheets).  I'd still keep the walls a neutral in this case since you'd have a lot of color from the art and bedding.

  I say either yellow or a neutral beige.
