Help with duvet ideas?

18 years ago

Thank you so much to everyone who has given me paint color suggestions. It may seem that I am not paying attention but believe me - I have contemplated every single suggestion. All your comments have helped me realize that the rug I loved just didn't work in the BR (due to the color of the floor), so I have moved a different rug in there. I think this one is a keeper. I am now moving on to bedding and drapes!

I think I will pick the drapes and duvet first, and then the paint color. (I am thinking now that a light warm beige, like Navajo White or slightly darker would work well with these colors.) The room is taking on a sort of updated Spanish Mission feeling!

I would love some suggestions for bedding. The rug has rich walnut brown and bronze on an ivory field, with a green border, and a tiny bit of red and blue accents. I bought some green drapes which work nicely, but I am also considering a rich brown drape. Should I do a green drape and some browns in the bedding, or a brown drape and some greens in the bedding, or brown & brown, or green & green, or something else entirely? I have a hard time "seeing it" in my mind, so any suggestions will be much appreciated!

Lovely rug. You mentioned kind of an updated Spanish mission feeling - is that what you want to achieve? The reason I ask is that while I think the bedding choices you have posted are nice, they feel very modern to me, not along the lines of the Spanish mission at all.

What does your furniture look like - finish and style? That may influence bedding suggestions as well.

Not that you asked, but please, please think of something more interesting than Navajo White. The rug is great, and I like the green curtains. A warm terra cotta color (it looks more terra cotta than bronze to me) would be wonderful.

None of the duvets pictured say Spanish to me. They're nice, but not memorable, particularly. What style is the furniture?

The furniture is shaker style in natural cherry with iron knobs. The lamps are from the "Lineage" collection by Minka-Lavery.

I agree the previous duvets are not quite right.

Any other ideas from anyone?

I've been trying all sorts of combos. I liked the green drapes, but I couldn't find a duvet cover with green in it that I liked (in my price range - Macy's, Pottery Barn. Maybe I'll look at RH.)

I loved brown drapes with the rug, but again, I'm having trouble finding a duvet with the right brown in it. I tried a lovely drape from PB called "DEEP AMBER" - it matches the amber in the rug perfectly. But I'm lost as to what bedding would work with it. This Deep Amber color is a hard color to come across - I haven't seen any bedding with the right amber color in it. And - I'm not sure the Amber really works with the cherry furniture. I'm thinking now that green might work best with all the elements.

I am afraid of the room looking all mis-matched if I don't get the colors right! Here's the rug with the amber drapes and the dresser, and the green drape:{{!gwi}}{{!gwi}}

Love the chest. I think a nice paper-bag-brown (my favorite color) working well on the walls.

Have you tried Garnet Hill? I like the paintbrush flannel duvet covers--the sheets are too heavy for Southern California, but the flannel cover is so cozy and I like the saturation of the colors. The Eileen Fisher bedding is also nice, but a little spendy.
