Fabric fiasco

I'm still looking for alternate fabrics to match my Marimekko lampshades. I was about to give up hope... but thankfully, Finnish designers Maija Louekari and Miina Akkijyrkka have some awesome new fabrics out through Marimekko.

Maija Louekari actually designed the fabric I used for my lampshades. So it's really no surprise that her new patterns are my favourite of the latest Marimekko range. Here's a quick reminder of my lampshades and the Paasky fabric I used.
So I'm wondering - can I get away with a combo like this against my dark grey walls? Maybe it's too much... I think the cows and Paasky fabric are ok and will suit the red Kartell tables... but maybe the big dots are too much...

Thoughts?
