subject: What To Consider With Bed Duvet Covers [print this page] Many more people are using bed duvet covers than ever before. This is simply because they come with an enormous range of benefits. If you are planning on adding one to your bedroom then there are a few things that you have to consider to make sure it ties in with the rest of your room.
The color scheme
The color of your duvet cover should match the rest of your room, or at least complement it. The same is true for any design or pattern that you want to incorporate. A big problem most people face is using a light cover in order to cover a darker comforter. This will usually show through and you don't want this. You can either settle on a darker duvet cover or you can get a white comforter to put inside it. In some instances it would be better to just invest in a white comforter so that you will be able to change duvet covers whenever you want without worrying about the color.
Fabric
Bed duvet covers are available in a range of fabrics and which one your choose will depend very much on your lifestyle. If you have kids and pets running around you will want something more durable like cotton or synthetic fibre. If you prefer something more luxurious and soft then silk or satin would be good. If you suffer from allergies and just prefer things to be as clean as possible then bamboo is great as it will prevent dust and dust mites from gathering.
Existing decor
Aside form your bed, you have many other things in your room that contribute to the overall atmosphere. Bed duvet covers can either blend in or cause decorative chaos. If the rest of your room is full and busy then you will want to choose a more subdued duvet cover, and likewise if the rest of your room is simple you can spice it up by adding an eye catching duvet cover.
The cost
Bed duvet covers are available in such a wide variety, and this means that some of them will be cheap and others will be more expensive. This depends on the type of fabric it is made of, the design as well as the manufacturer. Before you decide on anything make sure that you know exactly home much you are able to spend. This will save you from unexpected surprises later on.
