Choosing Colored Duvet Covers

When you buy a duvet, one of the first accessories you'll need is a good duvet cover.  After all, feather comforters are hard to clean, and bulky when wet. Cleaning frequently will also reduce your duvet's life span.  A good duvet cover can be easily removed and washed, then put back on your duvet.  However, you'll want to choose a duvet cover that matches your décor and provides the look and mood you'd like to have in your bedroom.  Here's some information about various styles and colors of duvet colors to help you decide what's best. 

Dark Colored Duvet Covers

Dark colors can be challenging to integrate into a bedroom.  If the room is too small, the bed will tend to dominate it, and even look unfriendly.  However, with the right accessories and a room that's big enough, colors like brown, black, navy blue, dark jewel tones and even dark gray can look great.  One trick is making sure that the room isn't too cluttered.  A clear space around the bed, and furniture that isn't too large or ornate can help you keep the room from looking closed in when you choose a dark colored duvet cover.  This is only a good option for rooms with white or light colored walls, since darker walls, when combined with dark colored furnishings, can pull the space in, making it seem small, cramped, and unwelcoming.  Use dark colors as an accent, and avoid busy patterns unless you have a lot of space to work with.

Bright Colored Duvet Covers

Bright colors are often enticing.  They attract a lot of attention and appeal to many of us.  However, a bright duvet cover that looks great in the store might not do the same thing once you bring it home.  Like dark colors, very vivid shades easily dominate a room.  If you combine them with other, equally bright colors, you may feel overwhelmed by your confusing, loud bedroom.  Some people can even get headaches from too many warring tones.  If you'd love to have a bright duvet cover, be sure to design the rest of the room to go with it.  Pastel or muted tones on the walls, in the same general color family as your brights, will keep them from taking over.  Avoid combining black accents with a bright colored duvet cover unless you have a lot of white space to make up for it.  Again, avoid busy patterns in small spaces, as well as large furniture near a large, bright object, such as a duvet cover. 

White and Light Colored Duvet Covers

White and light tones have their dangers, too.  They stain easily, and when combined with too many other pale colors, they can make your room look washed out or institutional.  Be sure to add a little bit of a tint into your room to accent a very pale duvet cover.  Whites do well in prints with some detail – there's less danger of things looking busy.  If you have a brightly colored carpet or a small room, a light colored duvet cover might help open it up and make it look larger.  Just remember that your cover may need washing more often, because dirt and stains will show more easily.  This is especially true if pets or kids will have access to the room.
