Choosing Luxury Comforters For Your Bedroom

By Sherry Gross


When choosing a new comforter for your bed, there are so many factors to consider. Luxury comforters will instantly add color, coziness and style to your room. It is one method of providing the least expensive means of updating and rejuvenating a tired, dull area and can help bring a sense of calm and serenity to this part of the home.

Choosing the perfect fabric is an important step. Select the type that will coordinate easily with other fabrics, wood and upholstery in the room. Many prefer a luxurious look of satin, silk, or lace. Others love the feel of well-worn, soft cotton. Chenille is also an old favorite that is eye appealing and very comfortable. Choose the fabric that matches your room and your own distinct personality. Be sure it works well with the other accessories in the area.

Choosing a favorite color or shade can make your personal space come alive. Your selection should definitely reflect the overall style of this distinct area and other furniture such as art, rugs, lamps, throws, pillows and candles should coordinate effectively with it. Keep it very basic with just one or two main colors and other secondary shades to help keep the area calm and very soothing. Too much color and strong shades can be very jarring to a person's senses and can make it extremely difficult to match other articles in the bedroom.

The amount of padding in a comforter is also a personal choice and can depend on the climate in which an individual resides. It a person lives in a very warm climate, the thinner the coverlet is, the better. If it is a cold area such as Minnesota, New York, or even Alaska, thicker, warmer covers are very welcomed and needed. Two covers may need to be purchased for the many changing seasons.

Be sure to buy the correct size for your bed. Standard sizes include king, queen, full and twin beds but if you have a mattress that is extra thick, it may affect how your coverlet fits. Be sure to measure the drop of mattress sides plus the width of your mattress and compare it to the size of the cover you are considering.

The style and pattern of coverlets is probably the most important factor. Some love a simple, solid look while other prefer patterned tops. Choose what blends in with your decorating scheme. If the area is already very busy with patterns and colors, you may wish to select something simple but elegant.

When choosing your coverlet, keep in mind that it may need to match what you already have in the room or you must be prepared to purchase complementing items to keep the room balanced and coordinated. Lampshades, area rugs, lighting fixtures, toss pillows and shams, upholstery and wall color are just a few of many items that may need to be adjusted or added. If you are on a budget, it may be best to stick to the color scheme that is already in place. However, if you desire a totally new look, be prepared to paint the walls, buy several extra accessories and re-do the upholstery in this area.

Decorating a bedroom and selecting a perfect coverlet does not have to be difficult. Choose what feels right to you and the area in which you are rejuvenating. The perfect style will help make the bed feel cozy and inviting.
