I have an assortment of things in the bedroom, and being on a tight budget I need to make them all work together somehow. The bed is black faux-iron, and I have an ikea sitting chair that has a shiny khaki-green cover. I have two pillows I’d like to make into focus points. One is a huge red velvet heart-shaped pillow. The other is a matte silk pillow: ivory background with five-petal daisies printed in warm-tone colors. I desperately need to find a duvet cover that pulls everything together. I can’t paint the walls, since I’m in an apartment. My style is classic romantic with splashes of dramatic. I like bold colors.
I am thinking a gold tone.. matte finish..a decorative satin trim or edging would be o.k.,avoid it being predominate.
Or ivory with a green tinge rather than a blue..or yellow tinge.
I like bold jewel tones myself. So my room is romantic eclectic.
oh my that’s sure a tough call may i suggest you check out jcpenney.com they have one of the largest selections at really affordable prices(i’m assuming you didn’t care for any of the at ikea)while claiming to have classic romantic style what you’ve described sounds really eclectic!

Chocolate, sea blue, teal – get swatches or get pillows with various colors and put them in your apartment to see which color blends it all together.
However, you may want to rethink this assortment or colors and try using a palette of 3 to 4 colors max so it is not give a shocking array of colors that clash. You can also rotate some of your colors.

I would go with a red duvet cover! It will totally go with your red pillow. I have one, and I use choc. brown sheets. Very elegant, romantic and pretty. Duvets are the best way to add color to a room with neutral walls. Check out smartbargains.com for awesome deals on luxury bedding. That is where I get my bed linens, and I love them.
