What is a Duvet cover?
Duvet covers are typically very artistically created linen covers that are specifically designed to perfectly cover a duvet of nominal bed sizes. The duvet cover decorates the bed and protects the elegant duvet as to lessen the expensive task of washing the bedding due to airborne ailments and such. While duvets most often require the special touch of a dry cleaning specialist, duvet covers can be easily cleaned in the home washing machine and air dried or machine dried on "delicate" setting.
What should I know before buying a duvet cover?
There are several things you'll need to know before buying a duvet cover from any online or brick and mortar retailer. First of all, many online retailers advertise great prices on duvet covers, yet don't include the entire set! That means that you'll have to purchase the cover, comforter, sham, and pillow cover separately. Unfortunately, by the time you realize this inconvenient fact, you'll need to dish out a sizeable amount of money should you be interested in buying the duvet cover and matching set.
How to shop for duvet covers
Shopping for duvet covers will typically land you into choosing between several categories. First, you'll need to choose between the thread count, that is, how dense the threads are in the fabric. Most materials commercially available today have a thread count of between 200 and 500, with the 500 being the premium of the before said measurements. Next, you'll want to choose between material (flannel, satin, knit, etc), and then by pattern design including patterns, solids, stripes, floral designs, dots, and more. Finally, don't forget the designer labels, after all, bragging to your lady friends whom designed your duvet cover is almost as important as having one.
Should I mix or match my Duvet Cover?
From the beginning of interior design the question of mixing and matching has always been one of the foremost decorative dilemmas, even with duvet covers. The act of matching your rooms colors with your duvet versus mixing them with complimentary colors and such is really up to you or your interior designer. Should you have particular designs you need to match to your bed spread or duvet cover some have even employed a professional textile workers to make the material to fit the room and textiles within it to their duvet cover. I suppose no expense is too much when it comes down to the bed that you'll spend 1/3 of your life sleeping in!!
