Luxury Comforters For An Elegant Bedroom

By Sherry Gross


When choosing a new comforter for your bed, there are so many factors to consider. Luxury comforters will instantly add color, coziness and style to your room. It is one method of providing the least expensive means of updating and rejuvenating a tired, dull area and can help bring a sense of calm and serenity to this part of the home.

Choosing the perfect fabric is an important step. Select the type that will coordinate easily with other fabrics, wood and upholstery in the room. Many prefer a luxurious look of satin, silk, or lace. Others love the feel of well-worn, soft cotton. Chenille is also an old favorite that is eye appealing and very comfortable. Choose the fabric that matches your room and your own distinct personality. Be sure it works well with the other accessories in the area.

Make the room come alive with the use of color. What you choose should reflect the general decor of the room and the rugs, lamps, and flooring materials. Keep it basic with only a few main shades and a few other, more subtle colors. Too many vibrant or bright colors will jar the senses and it will be much more difficult to coordinate other accessories in the room.

The thickness of this bed cover is a matter of personal choice and comfort but also necessity. If you live in a warm climate, a thinner cover may be desirable. Colder areas such as the Midwest or the upper United States north east areas may demand extra padding for extra warmth during the cold winter months. You may even wish to purchase two different coverlets to be ready for the varied seasons of your area.

The size of this coverlet will depend on your bed. Queen, king, full and twin sizes are the most common but you may want to measure the drop of your mattress to determine the correct width of this item. Thicker mattresses may require longer comforters to fit correctly.

The style and pattern of coverlets is probably the most important factor. Some love a simple, solid look while other prefer patterned tops. Choose what blends in with your decorating scheme. If the area is already very busy with patterns and colors, you may wish to select something simple but elegant.

When choosing your coverlet, keep in mind that it may need to match what you already have in the room or you must be prepared to purchase complementing items to keep the room balanced and coordinated. Lampshades, area rugs, lighting fixtures, toss pillows and shams, upholstery and wall color are just a few of many items that may need to be adjusted or added. If you are on a budget, it may be best to stick to the color scheme that is already in place. However, if you desire a totally new look, be prepared to paint the walls, buy several extra accessories and re-do the upholstery in this area.

Choosing the best coverlet for your private space does not have to be challenging. Select what you feel best fits the overall theme of the area and also the style of your furniture. The perfect choice will assist in making this part of the house a quiet and welcoming oasis for your private relaxation.
