A Practical Dose of Style for the Bedroom

Duvet covers are a practical way to change your bedding without investing in multiple bulky, space hogging comforters. The duvet cover is like a pillow case for your bedding. It allows you to invest in one high quality comforter or duvet that serves as the stuffing, while the duvet cover can easily be changed from season to season. Having just one or two comforters and multiple duvet covers will save you storage space and dry cleaning bills, as most quality comforters cannot be machine washed. For people who like to change the look of their bedrooms every few months, the duvet cover also offers unlimited flexibility.

When purchasing a duvet cover, one of the key things to consider is whether it needs to be dry cleaned. While a dry clean only item may seem luxurious, on the practical end of things, it somewhat defeats one of the duvet cover’s main benefits of fitting in your home washing machine.If this is not an issue, then all you really need to be mindful of is how the duvet cover is constructed. You want a cover that is sturdy and will stand up to washing, wear and tear. Things to look for include strong snaps, a quality zipper, reinforced buttons or color matched hook-n-loop closures. These closures can withstand washing and general wear and tear and will keep your duvet cover actually covering the comforter underneath.

The duvet cover you choose should compliment your bedroom’s décor. If your furniture is contemporary, look for bold patterns of circles, stripes, squares or color blocking. You can also go in the minimalist direction with a solid duvet cover with just a spattering of a pattern to catch your eye. For more traditional bedroom décor, look for floral or paisley prints to compliment the curves of your furniture and moldings.

Contemporary

On the contemporary side, the Madison Park duvet cover set is a 6-piece set that includes the duvet cover, two shams, two square decorative pillows and one oblong pillow. The Madison is light blue jacquard with a tonal geometric pattern. Made of polyester, the Madison looks luxurious but can be machine washed.For a teen male’s bedroom, the Cruiser duvet cover set from Quiksilver is a hip, modern style in shades of black, gray, burgundy and white. The design features a plaid pattern along with stripes, and is emblazoned with the Quiksilver logo. This set includes the duvet cover and two shams. The duvet cover is polyester and is machine washable.A great contemporary option for a teen girl’s bedroom is Roxy’s Knockout bedding collection.

This bright fuchsia set has a pink stripe pattern with the Roxy logo on half of the duvet cover. It is reversible to a solid pink duvet cover. The Knockout Duvet set includes the duvet, two shams, a flat and fitted sheet and two pillowcases. The duvet cover is polyester, and the sheets are cotton. It is machine washable.If you are looking for a contemporary duvet cover but want something  that avoids bold geometric prints, the Manor Hill Lilac duvet cover set has a minimalist approach, with a strip of purple flower embroidery on a solid white background. The set includes two shams along with the duvet cover. The set is made of 100% cotton and is machine washable.

Traditional

For more traditional bedroom décor, florals and paisleys are timeless design mainstays that never look dated. One pretty floral option is the Mary’s Garden design. This duvet cover set was designed by Charlotte Moss for Traditions by Pamela Kline. The set features a green and purple floral pattern on a white background. The set includes the button-close duvet cover plus two pillow shams. It is made of 100% cotton and is machine washable.For a young girl’s bedroom, Tommy Hilfiger’s Hibiscus hill duvet cover set is a very feminine, yet youthful option in the traditional style of décor. This set has a soft pink and light green floral pattern on a white background.

The set includes the duvet cover, a bed skirt and a sham. The fabric is 100% cotton and it is machine washable.If paisley prints suit your style more than flowers, Tommy Hilfiger’s Jeweled Tapestry duvet set is one that can’t be ignored. With a light blue and green paisley pattern, this set subtly catches your eye and can transform a plain white walled bedroom into something special. The set includes a cotton button-close duvet cover, two shams, a bed skirt, a flat and fitted sheet and two pillow cases. All pieces of the set are machine washable.

With so many style options available, you can have a duvet cover for every season for every bedroom in your home. Say goodbye to stuffing numerous bulky comforters in your closets, taking up precious space. You can also say goodbye to hefty dry cleaning bills, since duvet covers are usually machine washable. With versatility, savings and storage on their side, duvet covers are clearly a practical dose of style for your bedroom.
