Imagine the next time you join a discussion about how to transform your bedroom into a sanctuary with a new comforter set ensemble, you’ll be able to start sharing the fascinating comforter set ensemble facts below…your friends will be absolutely amazed.

After a long day at the office or many hours of shuttling around the children, every individual deserves a place to retreat to in anticipation of complete comfort.

With the constant hustle and bustle in today’s world, not only is it difficult to find time to give yourself space and solitude, but it is also challenging to seek out an area that would reflect your ideal solution.

There are many rooms within the home that serve as communal spaces.  From the kitchen to the bathroom to the dining room, living room and more, there is typically some type of action occurring among several members of a family simultaneously.  Think about it?  How many times have you gone to relax in your family room only to find that one of your children has already staked a claim on what you’ll inevitably be viewing for the next half an hour plus?  Here is where your bedroom can become your savior.  By transforming this space into a much needed sanctuary, you’ll be able to experience the solace that you deserve at the end of each day.

First things first: In order to achieve exceptional comfort, one must initially address the bed.  Adorning your bed with a comforter set ensemble is an easy way to add immediate character into your bedroom.  Fortunately for us, many comforter sets today come complete with a comforter, two standard pillow shams, a bedskirt, and a three-piece decorative pillow set.  Despite your desire for a transitional look or a more modern look, designing your bedroom with your own definition of comfort in mind is the ultimate goal.  Incorporating soothing hues, jewel tones, and simple patterns provides an easy way of creating a peaceful look within your bedroom.

Moving on from the bed, continue to transform your bedroom into your ideal space by adding matching window curtains.  Perhaps you’re one of those fortunate individuals with a window seat?  Including matching throw pillows here will not only spruce up the atmosphere, but will also add another element of comfort to your room.  Having more than one place to relax within your bedroom is practically obligatory.  In addition to window curtains, find a matching valance to tie the entire window theme together.

As a final touch to your mini-makeover, adding the appropriate light fixtures to your space will really help to accent the mood within your bedroom.  Additionally, consider adding some candles to enhance the atmosphere.  Perhaps these tips will give you some romantic ideas for Cupid’s upcoming holiday.  Transforming your bedroom in time for Valentine’s Day will undoubtedly translate into total relaxation and comfort.

Giving yourself the bedroom that you deserve should help to alleviate the stresses and burdens of everyday life.  Additionally, affording yourself the opportunity of highlighting your creative side will surely enable you to feel more expressive and complete. While we can never totally escape reality, it certainly is the minor improvements that can momentarily lead us to a better place.

That’s how things stand right now. Keep in mind that any subject can change over time, so be sure you keep up with the latest news and styles.

What is the Difference Between a Duvet and a Duvet Cover?

Posted on by

This is actually a very common question and one that is often not given the correct answer!

Duvet is French for ‘down’, so in layman’s terms a duvet is simply better known as a down comforter (that is a comforter that contains feathers). A duvet cover is the often decorative slip the comforter or duvet is placed into which allows you to create a style that suits you in your bedroom.

So next time someone asks you if you have a duvet or a comforter, you should know exactly how to answer :)

…and if you happen to be looking for a new duvet or duvet cover, both Amazon.com and eBay.com have a great range of duvets and duvet covers which would suit every budget and any bedroom!

What Color Bedspread Would Suit a Bedroom With Black Walls?

Not that black walls would be my personal choice, but I certainly understand that everyone is different and accordingly different things appeal to us.

I would suggest that black walls would make your bedroom very dark, unless you have lots of window area, which would allow some natural light in to brighten the room.

Irrespective, you could probably go for bright, neon type colors eg yellow, pink, lime green, but in my opinion for a really classy look a very light cream color would do it for me…not white, as I think the contrasts will be too stark, perhaps something with a third color to offset it as well.

You could accessorise with lamps, cushions, drapes etc to really tie your new look together!

I spent a bit of time browsing Amazon, but I didn’t really like the cream bedspreads I saw, but I did find this awesome 7 piece Queen Size Bed in a Bag comforter set that is currently reduced by 77% which would look pretty amazing in a room with black walls.

What do you think?

What’s the Warmest Type of Doona?

When Winter comes around there’s nothing better than snuggling into bed under a nice warm doona (or comforter depending on where you’re from), which begs the question…

What’s the warmest type of doona?

Well, I would say this is very definitely something that comes down to personal preference, but I’ve got to say that I have just recently discovered how wonderful a wool comforter is.

After being a bit sceptical at first, I can tell you that I simply love our wool doona. If you’re used to a feather or down comforter, it does take a bit of getting used to as the wool doona is not fluffy and is a bit deceiving as it feels lighter than a feather doona, but I can tell you from personal experience, it is so much warmer.

In all my adult life I have used an electric blanket on my bed, but ever since we’ve had the wool comforter, I have actually taken the electric blanket off the bed, which believe me is amazing as I’m one of the coldest people I know :)

So, if you’re looking for a doona, I would definitely recommend trying a wool one…just give it a go as you might just be surprised as I was. I know I will never go back to a down or feather comforter again now.

What is the easiest way to get a duvet cover on a duvet?

Posted on by
Reply

Ahhh…this is a widely asked question about a skill only very few master, lol!

Actually it’s not really that hard….if you follow these simple steps you will have your duvet cover on in a matter of moments:

  1. Lay your naked comforter flat on the bed
  2. Turn your duvet cover inside out
  3. Pick the duvet cover up by holding each of the top corners in your hands
  4. Whilst you have each corner of the duvet cover in your hand pick up the corresponding corner of the comforter
  5. Give a flick of your wrists and flick the duvet cover over the comforter
  6. Shake the comforter down so the bottom corners are out
  7. Tuck the bottom corners of the comforter into the duvet cover
  8. Zip or button the duvet cover up
  9. Lay out on your bed

And if that seems a bit complex, take a look at this hilarious video by Senor Kristabbal which shows you how easy it really is to put your duvet cover on….

If anyone would like to share their secrets to putting a duvet cover on, I’d love to hear them :)

What are the Standard Baby Comforter Sizes?

After researching the sizes of baby comforters, I have come to the conclusion that there is actually no such thing as a ‘standard’ size.

See below a list of just some of the different size baby comforters I came across and would suggest that you measure your crib before going shopping…

40″ x 60″

39″ x 52″

41″ x 48″

41″ x 29″

Some things to consider though is if you want the comforter to cover the entire crib or if you want to be able to tuck it in!

This usually comes down to personal preference and is really up to each parent on what size comforter they would prefer. If you would like to get something larger, then there are a number of places that will make your baby comforter to order.

What are the Measurements of a Comforter Set Twin Size

Posted on by
Reply

These days not all twin size mattresses are equal, so it goes to say that we need to know the dimensions of our twin mattress before we go shopping for a comforter set.

A standard twin size mattress is 75 inches long and 39 inches wide and an extra long twin mattress is 80 inches long and 39 inches wide, so you clearly need to make sure you get the right comforter set or your bedding will just not cover sufficiently.

Twin comforter set sizing ranges from 66 – 68 inches wide to 86-88 inches long and depending on whether your mattress has a pillow top or not, will determine what size comforter set you need. Once you know the dimensions of your mattress, you’ll be ready to start shopping and in my experience it’s always better to get a bit wider than you need if possible as there’s nothing worse than rolling over on a cold night and getting uncovered!

Ooops….one more thing to consider is your comforter itself! If you have a down comforter and it’s thick and fluffy, this will also take up more room in the comforter cover as well, than if you have a thinner, lighter weight comforter or duvet.

eBay have a great range of twin comforter sets listed so it’s well worth spending a bit of time having a look at what’s available and hopefully find just what you want…..
