Cotton Duvet Covers

I am redecorating my bedroom, and I want to buy either black and white or brown and white zebra print duvet cover, pillowcase and curtains. I want a coloured zebra print rug and lamp shade, as well as that colour on the walls. What colour should I use? I like red but think it may be too intense for a room to sleep in.

I think an apple green would look really cool– rooms in magazines often have pink and zebra together, but personally i think it’s tacky because everyone does it. Play around with lighter colors than red, though, i think.

I just ordered a new duvet and duvet cover set. The cover and shams are white and my sheet set is a deep shade of red. What colour do you suggest I paint my walls?

blue

Im redecorating my room, and im going for an india(not native american) theme. My mom and i picked out two different quilts/duvet covers. Which one would suit the "india" theme better?

(: thank you so much!
Do you think the silk duvet cover would be durable? Im afraid it will get pulls in it much to easily (:
And lastly, im 15, deme do you think this theme suit my age?

i’m around the same age, just a lil older and i love this theme. i feel that the first silk duvet cover is a little too old and like you said wouldn’t be very durable. i love the patchwork quit from anthropologie! it would be perfect for your age and since there are alot of colors on there you can have funn adding accessories and perfect for wall colors! hope i helped!

I’m getting new bedsheets and painting my wall and I’m going for the whole indie cute theme. I’ve found two so far:

http://www.westelm.com/products/sketch-duvet-cover-and-shams-b546/?pkey=cduvet-covers-quilts which is only $59. I noticed that if i bought one of those duvet covers, I would have to paint my walls red, which i do not want at all. it would just look scary. Any places I can find indie duvet covers? My budget is $100. if you already know a place, just send me the link please!

If having the whole matchy matchy thing was indie cool, they would have offered it on the website.

I’m painting my room and im taking the colors out of my bedspread.

that’s what it looks like and i really want to do the light blue on 3 walls and one of the reds on the 4th but would it look good? or should i use another color combination? i really don’t want to do two dark colors like red and orange or the two lighter colors like the blue and pink.

Yes it’s okay. Those 2 colors look good together, and the famous ones too. Hope this helps!

( Btw i like the dancing chicken )

I recently purchased a dark red duvet cover and 2 different colors of sheets, one is red and the other is gold. What color would look good with the gold sheets and what would look good with the white?

And don’t say the color white because even if you cover the walls with things like picture frames and such, I still say it’s too boring.

Also, what color of curtains should I get?

Thank you in advance!
Also, my furniture is brown, not dark brown or light brown, just a medium color brown.

You should get Gold, white, or black.. Black goes with the Red alittle
Hope I Helped You!

Would it be less freaky if the duvet set was purple?

I’ve never been particularly traumatised by a duvet cover myself.

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)
