Staging my house (log home) for sale. The basement guest room is the only room with painted walls--they are light, canned corn yellow. One, small, east facing window, and the room is very small. I'm pushing the twin beds together to make it appear there's more space and want to get a king bedspread. What color would be best? Patterned or not? Or would it be best to remove one bed?

My thoughts are that you can't go wrong with floral bedspread with green as being the main color. Yellow and green is a pretty combination.
29yrsinBranson you read my mind I was going to suggest green contrast or light blue contrast colors for bedspread, throw rugs with ceilings, doors and molding in white.
Thank you for the suggestions and especially for the lovely photos but with this particular yellow and maybe it's the dim lighting, it's a hideous combination--almost as bad as the burgundybedspreads in there now. If it weren't so much work, think I'd just repaint the walls and ceiling a neutral!
In my experience you can go very, very wrong using green with yellow, lol. Sometimes, the way the light hits the green, it reflects on the walls, causing them to look more green than yellow....and the resulting color is not usually a very pretty one.
There are two colors of canned corn. Regular corn is a fairly bold yellow. If that is your wall color, you have enough color in the room and I'd go with a solid white spread with complimentary pillows. If your walls are the color of CREAMED corn, they are so light that you need to add some life to the room. In that case, I'd get a pretty print for the bed.
My spare room for guests is painted a kelly green. I bought a white iron bed and a yellow dresser. It has a very fresh garden type feel. The bedding is white with large barn red flowers. I bought it at IKEA. I always get tons of compliments. The yellow dresser has some gold in it. Yellow can be tricky as it can bring out brown tones and even green tones when paired with another color. So when pairing yellow with green there has to be a stiff contrast. The kelly green brings out the yellow in the dresser, a light green such as sage would make the dresser have a muddy yellow look.
Since this is just a staging project, I would probably go with white bedding and then add some decorative pillows with a little pop. Target sells a shabby chic line that has all white chenille bedding. That way you are not stressing yourself out on which shade of green. Target also has a lovely floral line by Springmaid in comforters and quilts. Greens, yellows and whites are the main theme in the line. They do have one pattern is that mostly white with a floral detail with hints of yellow. The little bit of yellow might go with the wall color depending on the shade of yellow.
If you have a quick and easy way to store the second bed, YES, do it. Two twins pushed together= a king and that's a pretty huge bed for a small (?) guest bedroom.
I like Navy Blue with yellow. Crisp and clean looking.
