of fabrics and such

I took this photo with the intention of asking for your help choosing a couple of these fabrics for sofa pillows. But, I've already vetoed all of them. Some had too much of a white background, which my husband doesn't want. I have no problem with color, although I have a lot of red in the room so I'd have to love the fabric a lot to use it. The two cushions on the sofa may or may not stay in the room so I'm not worried about trying to incorporate them. I was hoping that maybe you all might have some fabric suggestions for me? Any ideas or inspiration?

On a completely unrelated note...
This bunny is by Jennifer Murphy and you can find it at Bay Berry Cove. Cute whiskers huh?

I kind of like the first three fabrics from the left.

I like the first three. They complement what you already have, and add a punch of color, but are not overpowering.

I think going with something with some aqua will be really nice and complement the red you already have in the room.

I go for the 4th from the right. It's a nice, big bold floral print with a large color palate to pull from for contrast & coordination. I think it's very Spring-y. I also like either smaller print to the left & right. They appear to compliment. I've personally used a lot of the Amy Butler--specifically the Belle line in Earth & Sky and Sun Glow for pillow and curtain decor. I added in a cute Heather Ross Gnome print for whimsy.

By the way, what fabric did you use in the end? 3rd from the left or another one? :-)
