Purchasing Luxury Comforters For Your Bedroom

By Sherry Gross


When selecting a new cover for your own bed, there are several important factors to take into consideration. Purchasing luxury comforters will instantly add elegance, color and distinctive style to this very private and personal area. This addition to your decor is definitely a rejuvenating and updating way to freshen a drab, dull room and bring a strong sense of peace and serenity to this portion of your home.

The fabric choice of this coverlet is essential. Choose what you feel most comfortable with. Some love the soft look and feel of chenille while other prefer the more elegant appearance of satin or lace. One hundred percent cotton will get softer over time, giving a cozy feel to the linens. The fabric you choose should match your personality and the personality of the room. It should also tie itself in with other items in the immediate 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.

How thick you would like the bed cover to be is a very personal choice and may depend on the climate you live in. If you are in an area with extremely cold temperatures, you would probably lean more to the thicker covers whereas if you live in California, Florida, Arizona, or other warmer states, thinner coverlets may be much more appealing.

The size of this coverlet will depend on your bed. Queen, king, full and twin sizes are the most common but you may want to measure the drop of your mattress to determine the correct width of this item. Thicker mattresses may require longer comforters to fit correctly.

One of the most important factors is the pattern and style of the coverlet. Some individuals prefer a simple and solid bed cover while others love patterned tops. Select what blends best with your unique decorating scheme. If the room is busy with knick-knacks, accessories and other patterns, you might decide to choose something very elegant but also very simplistic.

Always keep in mind that what you select must match other elements in the same space or you will have to be prepared to buy items for the entire area to balance and coordinate everything. Rugs, lamps, lighting, throw pillows, upholstery and paint colors are just a few things to consider. If money is tight, it may be in your best interest to stick to the current decorating scheme.

Choosing a coverlet for your bedroom does not have to be an overwhelming challenge. Select what best fits the theme of your room and style of your bed. The perfect one will help make this area the welcoming and quiet oasis you desire.
