Cotton Duvet Covers

I have a red duvet cover that is 65% cotton & 35% polyester with the reverse side being full 100% cotton…

I’m wondering if anyone has experience in this area – do you think I would be able to wash something like that? I have a front loading washer, so it would be gentle on it, and I only wash my colours in brights, as well as use the lowest heat setting on my dryer…would this work or is this asking for trouble? I really don’t have the money to dryclean, so I’m looking for a solution other than just airing it out.

Thanks in advance for all helpful answers!

yes, wash in cold and in a front loading washer without an agitator. Then dry on low in a large dryer so that it doesn’t get wrinkles.

I’m redoing my bedroom. I am unsure about what color to paint the walls. At this point, I have a black with small amount of white duvet cover and I am going from there. Any suggestions? And, yes I thought of red but my roommate has her room painted red so I need something different.

why not white then? it’s not the most exciting, but it’ll allow for just about anything. or pick ur favorite color and go from there with it.

I am thinking of painting an accent wall (or 2) in my bedroom. I recently did it in my living room and LOVED the results, so I was thinking about the bedroom too. My bed and a dresser is on one side, 2 windows and a dresser on one side, walk in closet one side, and 2 small closets and the door out the other side (opposite the windows). I am thinking about brick red, it goes with all my sheets/duvet covers and my carpet in the bedroom is cream, so I thought it would be a nice balance. Dressers are one is white, and one is oak. Do you think I should do 1 wall, 2 walls, and which walls would be the best? I was thinking about the wall behind the bed and the wall the door is on. Opinions?

When considering an accent wall remember that’s exactly what it should be an accent-in the bedroom the focus generally is the bed so choosing that wall is the correct choice(and only that wall) You already have picked a great color pulled from your bedding Take a look at(home depot) Behr antique red (S-H-190)IN the flat enamel ,its not too red -not too rust and has great coverage (something that can be very difficult with reds)

i’m decorating my dorm and i got a black duvet cover and my sheets are white with black poka dots..

my room at home is earth toned.. red brick/orange colored and tanish walls and hay colored bed spread.. lots of browns and stuff.. so that’s what i’m tryin to get out of

what are some modern colors i can tie in w the black and white.. ?

any thing goes with black

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’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.

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:)

OK I have this room I would like to decorate and I am looking for new duvet covers to brighten up the room but when I asked the lady if she had actual duvets inside part she gave me this full size duvet thing for the queen size bed and she said that was all she had! I am so stressed out bc the duvet insides are like 160 bucks and I am fed up with this my budget is $6,ooo and the artwork alone she wanted is $3,ooo bucks! So my friend who is also a designer told me about these things that aren’t duvet outsides or insides its just like both together. So really its like a replacement for a duvet. But the other day when I went shopping I TOTALLY forgot the name of the thing I wanted!!! If anyone knows the right terminology for what I want or knows of a nice and cheap duvet inside and a cheap duvet outside that is black white and red.. You would be a saint!! Thanks for taking your time I DEEPLY APPRECIATE IT!
Thanks! So much I was runnning late to work and yes this bed room is huge it is literally the size of my house and is very sheek and modern but all it has in it is a queen size bed w/ mattress the lady I am working for is very specific in what she wants ands stuff and she is always snooping to see if what I bought is "high enough quality!" well its my first job so Im not going to pass it up but thanks soooo much! (From a rookie) Lol!

It’s what C said. A duvet cover is what goes on the outside (kinda like putting a pillow inside a pillow case). And a duvet insert is what is on the inside. Anyway – here’s some duvet covers and I threw in some bedding sets also –

1) http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=345199&CategoryID=27869
I think this one would look great. You can add some red pillows for accents.

2) Or something like this with added black pillows: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=406760&CategoryID=7521

3) Duvet cover – add red pillows. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=384335&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results

4) http://www.beddingsets.com/Eastern-Accents-Sakura-Comforter-Set-EAN2292.html

5) This is gray, white and red, would look good with black accent pieces. http://www.beddingsets.com/Ashley-Grey-Duvet-Collection-BLL1169.html

6) This is very pretty: http://www.kinglinen.com/cf0229-q.html

7) This is a comforter set / very elegant: http://www.kinglinen.com/cf0229-q.html

Something really unique: http://www.selectbedding.com/Duvet-Covers/Rosabel-6-Piece-Duvet-Cover-Bedding-Set.aspx

You can also just check each company’s website – they do have a wide variety of styles, designs, colors that will go with your scheme. Hope it helps!

I’m redecorating my room and I want it to have an indie/ contemporary feel. I’m getting a firebrick red iron bed and I’m buying a royal blue and white floral duvet cover from urban outfitters. I have alot of black stuff in my room. What color do you think I should paint my room? (Oh, and I’m a girl.) Thanks!

You could go with White, since you will have White in your Duvet cover. Or, you could go Blue, either dark like the Royal or, in the same family of Royal but much paler. You could paint a couple of walls White and one Wall in the Red or Blue. Really, the possibilities are endless.

Of course, your accessorizing will really seal-the-deal as far as pulling-off the Contemporary look… glass, silver, chrome, crystal, mirrors, art work, lighting. Definitely set your lighting on dimmer switches. Do not discount the effectiveness of an Area Rug to ‘anchor’ the room either, *s*.
