If you have decided to invest in a duvet for your bed you may be surprised to find out how versatile the right duvet covers can finish the look you are trying to achieve. Duvet covers can be wonderful because they can be easily and quickly interchanged in order to completely alter the look of any room that you are trying to decorate. They are often more cost effective because a cover by itself is usually less expensive than a comforter or quilt may be.
One of the best ways to get the most out of your duvet covers is to select ones which are reversible. They can be great because you can get two complimentary looks for one price. You can feel confident that you can interchange the duvets because they are made with complimentary colors and patterns that will work well with other coordinating elements in your room.
There is such a wide range of duvet covers that you can choose from. They range from extremely formal styles to ones that are more comfortable and relaxed. There are many different fabrics to choose from. More formal looks may call for satin, brocade or silk. Formal patterns may include toile, floral or pinstripes. There are some beautiful, striking formal brocade covers that you can find in two tone striped satin that can give a tailored and formal look to a bedroom.
A less formal decorating style may call for stripes, plaids or checked duvet covers in more relaxed fabrics such as denim or other cottons. The range of patterns is much more varied if you are not as interested in a completely formal decorating style. You can also feel free to mix and match patterns and colors a little more if the look you want is a more relaxed one.
Keep in mind that you need to decorate for the people who will be using the room. If a man is sharing a room with you he may not be interested in ultra feminine colors or styles. You can get away with duvet covers which are a little more feminine if the rest of the room is more masculine to balance it out. This may include using a more tailored bed skirt, plainer wall coverings or other accents which up the manly factor of the room.
Remember that your bed is the focal point of your room. Learning how to use duvet covers in order to finish the look of your bedroom is an excellent skill and one you can put to good use time and time again.
