Yes, I am a teen, but I can’t decide if I want something sophisticated or more funky.

Second one with brown walls would look chic and unexpected =)

I need a spotty duvet cover( a stripped one would also be good)I would like it to be white with bright green, pink and blue spotts also any other colours but I need those ones to go with my room, especially the BRIGHT green, please help!!!!!!!!

If you can’t find one that you really want, you can always make one yourself!

All a duvet cover is material that is sewn together and has a zipper at one end to place your blanket or comforter in.

Go to any local fabric store, and pick out what you REALLY like and then ask for help on how to make it.

It is real easy to do.

My New Bedding- Need Advice?

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on February 4th, 2010 and filed under Cotton Duvet Covers | 3 Comments »

What do you think of my new Duvet? http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Jacobean-400-Thread-Count-Cotton-Duvet-Cover-Set/3346959/product.html in black.

So I love the bedding, but am a bit confused about sheets. Would purple sheets go well with this? If so, what shade of purple? If not, what other color?

A soft lavender would look best. Chocolate, cream and lavender. But also think about some caramel or coffee with cream colored sheets…would be yummy.
I’d take a pillow sham with me if you shop for sheets in person, Just show the person near the door that you are bringing your own pillow sham to color match.

If you have the discount stores called Tuesday Morning in your area, I have seen lots of shades of dreamy coffee colored sheets. I bought some there that are a sateen weave (for uber smoothness) but also a cotton/poly blend for no wrinkles…the best of both worlds. And they were not expensive…I just had to read a lot of labels to find a set that was a blend and not 100% cotton.

What colors would match?

I’m having a hard time redecorating my room. I just bought a new duvet cover, which is a plain rich dark brown. Then I bought a rusty orange throw for the end of my bed. Then I also bought a pillow sham that was rusty orange with a paisley design on it. I want to add like a turquoise color or maybe a green? My walls are a ivory color and the trim around my room is white. What color/colors would match with the brown and rusty orange?

my duvet:

sham:

throw:

Both colors you suggested would work. The critical element here is to include a pattern of some sort. So far it looks very "safe" with mostly solid colors. Pull in some accent colors for the accessories or lamp shade, etc… include both the colors you like. I love that you have selected items that are not all "matchy"- It just doesn’t look "designed" if it’s all coodinating components. Michele

Any ideas for an original bedroom design?

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on January 27th, 2010 and filed under Red Duvet Covers | 2 Comments »

I have recently painted my bedroom completely white with white curtains, red carpet and a white duvet cover (but it looks like the duvet cover can be changed). Now I want something really original to go on the white base of the walls. Something that will make people go ‘Wow I like your room!’ I’m open to any colours except browns, maroons grays, etc. I especially like blue. I have a big interest in music so that could be linked in, but doesn’t necessarily have to be. Please give some ideas!!!

Well I would say if you want a room with the wow factor you have to use quite eye catching colours. I would say this means use more red in your room design and add another contrasting colour, Green would be the obvious complementary colour but with white and red you might end up feeling like you’ve walked into christmas, thats why I would say turquoise is a good colour to add as well as its similar to blue which you like, as well as black I know its boring but its very effective if used right.
Accessories etc. In the colours (hoping your from uk, lots of ikea though so thats international)

Table lamp (In red or turquoise, I have it in pink and its really lovely)

Shelves (red black or white)

Bedside table (red or white)

Cushions (black or red)

I think the best way to get visual impact in your room is to make a feature wall. It’s hard to say what would be the best way to do so because I don’t know your age of gender so I dont know whats right but I’ll just throw some ideas at you :)

-Possibly make a big collage wall, take music mags and collage all over a wall with articles and pictures of your favourite artists, also you could carry this through and cover any storage boxes you have in music mags too.

-Maybe a mural on the wall, something simple like a black silouhette of a skyline on the white wall would look really stylish and that way you keep the wall colours neutral so you can change the other colours in your room later.

- Backboard paint is pretty cool stuff, you could paint a whole wall in blackboard paint and then get some red and turqiouse picture frames or just big clip frames and put pics of bands/friends/places in them and then just let your friends write on you chalk board walls, that way you can use it as a doodle pad, maybe write your fav song lyrics of the time on it etc.

- Going back to the song lyrics from the backboard idea you could get a letter stencil and paint some of your fave song lyrics (quite big) on one wall, you could paint this in any of the colours.

- Red white and black lends itself quite well to the typical chinese themed room, you could do that with a twist, Maybe get your name in chinese lettering and enlarge it and paint it on your wall, or some other words which mean something to you then go for duvet sets and accessories which feature chinese symbols.

- Maybe just find some wallpaper that fits in with the colour and use that on one feature wall, also you could use any leftover paper to cover storage boxes.

Is there a good way to spot clean a comforter?

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on January 27th, 2010 and filed under Cotton Duvet Covers | 3 Comments »

queen size comforter and duvet cover, 400 count egyptian cotton.. I swear the instant it gets back from the cleaners, something gets spilled on it.

All depends what kind of stain it is. I use Woolite, or seltzer water. You can also use any type of Oxy-clean. That wont ruin the color.

Where can I find a Zebra print comforter?

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on January 20th, 2010 and filed under Brown Duvet Covers | 9 Comments »

I’m looking **to order online**. The comforter i’m looking for has to be Queen sized, and black and white zebra print. i’ve been finding a lot of brown and creme prints, and i just want the black and white. Also if it could be a reasonable price, under $120, that’d be great too :)
not a duvet cover— a comforter.

thank youuu :)

Where to find a dark teal bedspread?

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on January 20th, 2010 and filed under Red Duvet Covers | 2 Comments »

I’m moving into college in a couple of weeks and need to find a dark teal bedspread/comforter/duvet cover or whatever :)

My roommate’s is this http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00080214 in the red-orange.

Most importantly, I want a solid color.

Peppermint has a great idea. I would suggest the sheets also. Or go to a fabric store and do the same thing. I like a fabric store or sheets. You can get what you want. On the fold of the duvet, you could use some large buttons, any kind of trim to dress it up.
