What to Look For When Purchasing a Duvet Cover Set
With so many beautiful duvet sets sold today in so many great designs and colors, I can't blame you.
What many people do not understand is that this is not just any typical bed set.
It is quite unique.
Purchasing the right one can save you plenty of money and headaches.
That is why I am here to share with you a few tips that can help you find the perfect one for your bedroom.
First you have to know where to purchase one.
Online is always the easiest way to buy a duvet set and it can help save you a lot of money.
Department stores will not sell the same bed set at the same price unless it has some type of defect.
They will always sell a brand new set for a lot more then buying it online.
But the decision is up to you.
Next you will need to know exactly what size you are going for.
This is not as easy as it sounds.
You should always pay close attention to the measurements when purchasing a duvet cover.
Do not always relay on the size of the bed.
A simple way to figure out which is the perfect size is measuring all four sides of the duvet or comforter with a measuring tape.
A comforter cover that is just a few inches bigger then the comforter is fine.
Just make sure it is not too big.
This will cause the comforter to shift around in the cover.
If shifting is a problem, you can try purchasing duvet clips.
They clip inside the corners of your bedding set, securing your comforter to your duvet cover or you can sew ties inside each corner of the cover to hold the comforter in place.
Another important thing to remember when purchasing this type of bedding is the fabric and the thread count.
Cotton is always a good choice of fabric.
Cotton feels great against your skin and can be easily washed in the washer machine unlike other fabrics that need extra care.
The thread count will give a hint on how soft this bed set will feel.
Always make sure it has a thread count of 180 or more.
Less then 180 is a waste of time and money.
Finally we can now decide on the right design and colors that will look great with the colors and decor in your bedroom.
When deciding on the color, it is always a good idea to go with the color of your walls.
You do not want to get a bedding set that has too much of the color you have on the walls.
Less is always more.
When looking for the design, it just depends on the look you are going for.
Stripes are great for a more modern look.
Polka dot can also be modern but fun.
A floral duvet can make the bedroom look more romantic and bright.
The list goes on and on but I am pretty sure that the one that you choose will look great as long as you follow these easy steps.
Good Luck.
