Are you the one who shows off your bedroom when company arrives? Or do you close the door, Leave the door open just a crack, or perhaps you fit the extreme example of closing AND locking it! If you are not yet to the stage of showing it off, perhaps reading on will help you get there.

In the world today our bedroom has become a focal point for more than we might have imagined just 10 years ago. It can be the place to watch the morning or evening news, have our coffee, get the homework done, enjoy music, etc. And therefore, putting thought into the design of your bed covering is now more than simply getting into the catalog from your friendly department store to find another quilt or spread.

Since duvet has become such a popular item, the covers and their design has taken on a new meaning for those who design them. They are not the old fashioned simple cover protector with a zipper on one end. They have become an item which can completely alter the design and decor of your entire bedroom.

If you would like your bedroom to have a vintage design, consider some of the elegant and colorful European designs like those from Le Vele and Arya. Remember, you can’t be shy when selecting one of their designs. Many of their prints may take your breath away at first sight.

On the other hand if your room has a classic look, there are absolutely exquisite designs available to complement such a scheme. The designs can be as elegant as the flowered designs for a vintage look, but have a more muted color scheme.

Be sure to pick solid color dust ruffles for either of these styles. Patterns on the bed should not carry through to the floor. Find some throw pillows with delicate petal shapes to complement a floral design in your duvet cover. Decorate with complementary items such as a flower vase of fresh cut flowers, or a pot filled with a green plant next to the bed.

A solid color throw blanket neatly folded at the foot of the bed will tone down the color scheme of some of the more vibrant plant or floral designs.

More than anything, don’t forget to have fun decorating your ‘most used room in the house’. And invite your guests to see the results of your planning!
