Tone it down

I am in the process of having our home repainted, and have run into one problem. I picked a hollyhock color for our bedroom and I had no idea it would look that loud!!!!!It is so loud I am afraid to go to bed tonight in fear of having a nightmare....I plan on getting new carpet, drapes, and bed apparel. Apart from that does anyone have any decorating idea's that might help make it look lovley, and not our of one of Freddy Krueger's movies???
