Cotton Duvet Covers

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?

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

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)

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.

Hope I helped, even if it just gave you a few ideas, good luck x

I am looking for a pink duvet cover, price range less than $100, please not too girly!! I like beach themes such as cabana style, polka dots, and stripes. PBTeen is a little too expensive. Thanks for your help!
not as in the polka dots, beach theme, and stripes are together, but separately i like each of them.

Here are some links to some cute inexpensive places:

There are a whole lot more at the JcPenney website. Check it out they’ve got some really cute stuff

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.

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

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.

i just repainted my room a nice soft light pink, and now i want new ed sheets to match, but i dont want you to walk in the room and see only pink. so i decided i would want lilac bedsheets (to me, pink and light purple go good together) but i am having trouble choosing a duvet cover. which would go best with everything?

I like the "Posey Print" and the "Spence". And either one, they are on sale!!!

I just recently got a new bed,,

have you tried ebay or google egyptain duvet?

my parents are having another baby, so they are making me move downstairs to a bedroom that they built. its fairly big, almost the size of my parents’ room. the bottom half of the wall sticks out a few more inches than the top along two of the walls, and there is a window that is about what i think would be average "bedroom-sized". I’m a laid back 16 year old girl. I’ve already had my bedroom light purple, and light orangish. i don’t like yellow, and i really love my duvet cover (medium brown) so i don’t really want to change it. any suggestions?

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a green like "garden grove" (# 6445) would look stunning with the brown.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
http://www.roomvues.com/
You can get color suggestions & they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Now, I am going to get my boys new beds. They are both 4. But I can’t decide between bunk beds and twin beds. Bunk beds would save a lot of room, but I like twin beds. My boys would like bunk beds more. In a couple of years we are going to get them new beds, in about 6 years, when they grow out of them. The colors in theirr room are darkish blue walls, red duvet covers, and dark brown furniture. Please tell me which bed I should get for my boys and why!

Thanks!

Here are pictures of the beds I want to get:

Bunk beds:

I really like both but if you are going to buy 2 of the first bed, the bunk beds would be better. They are also cute and space saving:)
