BrandoThe weather is turning crisp, soon those leaves will be changing, perhaps they are in some parts of the country, and with the change in weather comes a change in mood and the urge to spruce up the house.

Duvet covers offer a unique opportunity for dramatic changes to the look and feel of the bedroom with a minimal investment of time and money.  Available in eye-popping colors and styles to suit every taste from contemporary to traditional you really can’t lose in taking this route to give your mood a great lift.

Using a cotton duvet cover can give you several advantages.  A cotton duvet cover will provide an element that is easy to maintain since cotton has long been known for durability, quality and comfort – especially as a bedding material.  One drawback to cotton can be the tendency to wrinkle.  Look for cotton duvet covers that are woven with satin to aid in wrinkle control and add a luxurious feel to the fabric.

A bright color combination of autumn hues like brown, yellow, orange and red can really have guests talking since the bed now becomes a focal point.  Duvet cover sets carry this off exceptionally well and make completing the look simple since you need only add a window treatment and a few accessories to get a transformed environment.

When you plan to rearrange the furniture go ahead and change the bedding too, incorporating a uniquely fall atmosphere that is sure to have your friends begging you to let them spend the weekend after the Football party ends.

Or maybe you just love blue and need a way to incorporate it into the decor.  Cotton duvet cover sets offer an easy solution that offers multiple themes and they are economical enough you can easily afford more than one, exchanging them anytime you want to make a guest feel extra special or you just have the need to change things up a little.

A blue duvet cover can certainly change the mood of a bedroom dramatically, adding a calm feel.  You can imagine yourself floating in the ocean or on a puffy little cloud as the stresses of the day just melt off.  Cotton duvet cover sets are often enhanced with satin weaving, adding wrinkle control and a lustrous feel to the fabric that is especially welcome in the summer months.

Choosing a blue duvet cover can also lend a beach theme to a room so it is a perfect choice for the vacation house or your own room at home reminding you of the time you spent at the vacation house.  Many selections offer an over-sized bottom sheet that makes a bed skirt unnecessary.  Opting for these makes it even more economical to change the whole look of the room since you don’t need the added expense of multiple bed skirts in an attempt to match the cotton duvet cover set.

Explore a little and you will quickly find getting a dream makeover for your bedroom or guestroom isn’t as out of reach as you once imagined.

Cotton Duvet Covers Make Room Makeovers a Snap

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on August 21st, 2009 and filed under Cotton Duvet Covers | No Comments »

Struggling with a small budget and a big urge to give your bedroom a bold, new, look?  Inspired by the latest decorating program but just can’t spend any money?  Here’s an easy way to perk up a room without spending a fortune.  Just cover your bedding set with a duvet cover!

What is a duvet cover, you ask?  Essentially it’s like a jacket for your comforter.  Bedding sets can be quite expensive, a good quality comforter gives the bedroom a complete look and when the color starts to grow weary for you but there is nothing wrong from a quality standpoint, replacing them is difficult to justify when budget is a concern.  Duvet cover sets allow you to simply give the comforter (that is, the duvet) a fresh new look just the same as a slip cover protects and changes the image of a sofa or chair.

Since they come in a wide variety of colors, styles and budget offerings, using a cotton duvet cover set to perk up a room is not only affordable, but also makes it very practical to change the look of a bedroom according to seasons or purpose.  For example, when grandma announces an extended visit and the solution is have the kids double up in one room while grandma uses one of theirs, all you need do is dress up the room a bit with a grown-up themed duvet cover set and grandma is gushing over how cozy and comfy she is in her guest bedroom with the Transformers or Barbie discreetly hidden away by an elegant neutral cotton duvet cover set.  Everything matches, the room looks fresh and up to date and that’s one more thing you can check off the to-do list.

Besides color and aesthetics, covering an existing comforter can have other benefits.  If you have an allergy sufferer in the household sometimes simply covering the comforter with a duvet cover of a more appropriate fabric can make a difference.  Also, since the comforter beneath the duvet cover stays protected, it requires much less frequent laundering, protecting the investment by extending the life for years!  Duvet covers are less expensive than a good, quality comforter and changing them out occasionally is less stress on the budget.  Plus, there remains the added benefit of a new look for your room at the same time.

Duvet covers are offered in many colors and styles, a popular choice of late is bamboo fabric and that too claims to aid those who suffer from allergies and it also presents some properties that are appealing to those that live in hot, humid climates.  Bamboo, like a cotton duvet cover, wicks away moisture easily and feels soft and pleasing to the touch, both ideal features for bedding in the summertime.

Give it a try, pick out an affordable cotton duvet cover set, add it to your bedroom and see what you think.  Much easier than painting, wallpaper and new carpet and much easier on the wallet!

Bedroom Makeover Big Hit for Birthday Girl – Budget Safe!

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on August 21st, 2009 and filed under Cotton Duvet Covers, Pink Duvet Covers | No Comments »

Daughter’s birthday is coming up, need something a little more grownup but not a total budget buster?  How about an eye-popping display of color in the bedroom?

She loves hot pink but you just can’t bear the thought of painting those walls that color when you know it’s just a phase.  But, it really would thrill her to pieces to have that hot pink EVERYWHERE in the room.  It is after all, her room, she’s told you this at least a dozen times and a part of you does remember when you were her age and were just dying to paint your room orange.

Then again, you just spent a small fortune on a really high quality, nice neutral shade of tan, comforter for her bed. That ought to last until she’s in college.  Heck, she can probably even take it with her when she moves out and use it for another ten years.

Oh, but it is her birthday and you’re just completely out of surprises that amount to much of anything and she has talked about nothing else but re-decorating her room for months now.  What can you do?

Just grab yourself a really nice cotton duvet cover set, a pink duvet cover to be specific.  Really any fabric but cotton tends to keep the expense down and most cotton duvet covers are washable so this adds another practical benefit to the equation.  Stunning hot pink duvet cover, bottom fitted sheet, pillow cases, matching pillow shams and bed skirt!  No way she’ll not love that and you’re not stuck with hot pink walls from now until whenever you can find time to repaint later on.  When she decides to leave, the hot pink can go in the closet or right along with her to her college dorm room assuming she hasn’t moved on to a different color.  You can keep that fancy, shmancy comforter underneath it safe at home it you want too, until she learns to take better care of her things.  You know, just keep it nice, until she marries that nice young man you dream of for her.  Kind of a new version of the hope chest.

Okay, let’s not get crazy here…you get out of the pink paint on the walls and hours worth of labor, daughter thinks you’re the coolest mom ever and you can get tons of mileage out of reminding her of the moment she first saw the room makeover – no need to go overboard and control her whole life.

Finding a duvet cover set is too easy…they’re all over the Internet and they come in every color imaginable.   Much more affordable than a new comforter, even if she moves on to a color even more extreme next year it is easy to just change out the duvet cover set to the latest whim, maintain your cool mom status and keep the household budget firmly under control.  All the while the fancy comforter is snugly protected, silently doing it’s duty of providing warmth., enjoying untold years of added life since you don’t have to constantly clean it only to find a stain here and there that the cleaners just can’t erase no matter what they try (what is that anyway, motorcycle grease?).

Happy birthday baby girl, momma’s are so much smarter than you ever imagined!

Why Cotton Duvet Covers?

Posted by Cotton Duvet Covers on August 10th, 2009 and filed under Cotton Duvet Covers | No Comments »

The textile industry has many offerings these days in dressing your bed.  They range from practical attributes like price and comfort to the aesthetic, what looks the best?

With the recent tightening of our economy more and more of us are paying attention to value.  Using a duvet cover set to decorate a room takes care of the needs in terms of making a room cozy and reflective of our personality style but what about value and practicality?

You can check both of these requirements off the list too.  Covering a duvet, that is a comforter, will make that investment last longer since the duvet cover stays clean and protected, minimizing the need for repeated laundering that contributes to wearing it out and requiring it to be replaced.

Allergy sufferers get a benefit since covering the duvet with 100% cotton duvet covers contributes to a much healthier environment.  Cotton posesses many qualities that make it attractive for the fabric of choice in this application and we’ll explore those in greater depth here too.

Cotton has been around for years as the fabric of choice for clothing and bedding but one of the things that have sometimes presented difficulty is the fact that cotton can sometimes be a little more prone to wrinkling.  Higher quality offerings as far as cotton duvet covers are concerned have dealt with this and the higher investment in a good quality cotton duvet cover will return on the investment in the time saved in dealing with wrinkles and the overall pleasing look and feel it will add to the room.

Another good reason to use cotton duvet cover sets on your bed is their ability to allow you to completely change the look of a room by just changing out the duvet cover set.  The individual sets stay in better condition, the duvet (or comforter) holds up much longer since it remains protected and you get fresh looks for the room on a seasonal basis if you want.  This is a fantastic way to deal with a dual purpose bedroom when guests are coming.  For example, if grandma will use the kiddie’s room when she visits, just swap out the duvet cover set to a more grownup look and won’t she be impressed?

The Internet offers a multitude of choices and so do local department stores when you can find one that carries them but site by site the offerings are sometimes either very limited or so vast you can spend hours sifting the possibilities.

This website points you only to 100% cotton duvet covers and we’re devoted to updating periodically with more information on the subject as it comes available.  No, it’s not an exciting topic but when you’re shopping for a new look for the bedroom it suddenly gets much more interesting and isn’t nice to have a resource with exactly what you need instead of having to hunt for hours on such a simple pursuit :-)
