Complimenting Fabrics - What's a girl to do?

I am so very excited about finally doing something in my bedroom as far as decor - It's taken almost a year and I am really pleased to say I am doing very well on the budget so far.
(more on those details later)

After deciding on a lovely (or at least I think so) fabric for the curtain panels, I located a really nice Drexel dresser very similar to this that I am hoping to purchase~

 and we all know about my mirror score from JCPenney outlet.


 However not all of the elements in the room are going to be new purchases. I have a task ahead of me, I am going to attempt to cover a bench that I love and I am terrified I will mess this bench up. Truth of the matter is, the color no longer works with my vision for the room so, I have to do something with the bench, I am all torn up about this project.


Here is where I need help - Which fabric would you choose for the bench? Each of these four fabrics are 7.48 per yard at fabric.com

Premier Prints Key West Village Blue/Natural

Or the splurge of the group at 12.98 per yard:

The goal is to make the colors blend without the patterns being too close together, I am attracted most to the taupe, lighter blues and the ivory shades in the fabric I selected to for the curtain panels. I really want the room to be a serene place of comfort, with calming colors but not too drab and muted throughout. I am all open to suggestions if anyone has any. I am really enjoying this process, I just hope my vision comes to life.

I like the Key West print the best, I almost the exact same print in (but in yellow) my living room as pillows and loved the print! It will feel clean and fresh and look nice on the bench

I love that pattern best also! I agree the bench would look great in that fabric. I have noticed you have a similar fabric in your home.

I like the Key West. I think it'll blend well.

Elesha - I totally agree with the Key West fabric, I received my panel fabric and I am soo in love, that image online does not do the fabric justice at all, I cannot wait to see how it all comes together.

Thanks Shelly - I am pretty sure that is the one I am going to go with! I love it, and I can see the bench and a couple pillows for the bed in that pattern.
