I don't necessarily think there is anything wrong with the blue but it hit me, that maybe mustard would be amazing! With the gray, black, and vintage wood mustard could really set it all in motion. Just a thought. Good luck! I love your cabinet.
I'm not so sure blue is the color to pick, it seems to fight for attention rather than work with. Steph Mike has the right idea, go with a mustard it'll blend with the cabinet. Also love the cabinet! Good luck.
I would keep the blue and paint 3 clip board for your paper clipped art blue too! the color needs to come a bit lower to balance out the top heaviness of the space... i m o
I saw your makeover and I like the blue but if you wanted a different look the mustard is a great idea or I saw orange in your room which would still make it pop, good luick.
I'm usually not drawn to blue but I actually think this is the right color here...especially if it's a color you do like. All you need to pull it into the room are a couple more accessories in that same or similar blue hue. I see something in that color already there on the shelf :-) And if you add one or two items across the room in that blue color, it'll all be pulled together. Nice 'save' on that vintage pole lamp! :-)
The blue is in the ballpark, it is just too heavy for your soft, neutral background! I would bring it up in the realm of your turquoise objet d'art on the right side (think it's an asian lion?) or even greener version a la chicken feathers on your wall. Don't hate me, I know the light is fussy to paint. If you are committed to painting, there is no reason you couldn't try a verdigis finish to soften that long pole. OR, maybe you can make the lamps hang from the ceiling, and loose the pole altogether!

I love the blue; pop of color, just like current fashion!

I like it the way it is. It gives the room a great pop of color. I like it's originality.
I love the color but it would look better in a room that has other things to match it
Red...or orange...would make that corner pop!
