Duvet Covers- Tips For A Fresh Look Fast

Using duvet covers isn't just a great decorating idea, but that cover protects your sometimes expensive comforter too. They keep the comforter safe from stains, dirt, body oils and prevent you from having your comforter cleaned too often. They can also be used to give your bedroom a fresh new look without spending a lot of extra cash. Switch colors- go for prints or stripes or silk- and there you have it...a new fresh look on the quick.

The basics of duvet covers:

They're available in all the standard bed sizes and come in a nice selection of fabrics. Some of the more popular are:

Cotton- probably the most popular of all. They were usually found only in neutral or white, but now you'll be amazed at all of the colors, prints and styles that you'll be able to pick from-like stripes, floral, solids and more. You're sure to find something just perfect for your bedroom decor. Cotton is of course perfect for bedding because it breathes and wicks away moisture so you just sleep better. Look for thread counts of around 300 or more for a great combination of softness and durability.

Silk- amazingly soft and luxurious, is more costly but well worth it according to those who use them! They are a real favorite with those people that have allergies and chemical sensitivities. Silk is light and warm and comes in a stunning array of dense, lush colors. Silk used to be reserved for only the wealthier and ruling class in times gone by, but now almost anyone can have silk comforter covers!

Denim- always a favorite with those people looking for a more rustic or masculine look.

One other thing to consider is the type of closure you'll be picking from. Usually:

zippers
buttons
snaps

No matter which color or style of duvet cover you've chosen, they're a perfect finishing- and functional touch in your bedroom.
