    Default redecorating - describe your bed

    i just got my tempurpedic mattress, so i figure if i have a nice bed (and i just within the last few months got a new table and chairs set and a new couch) i should have nice bedding to match! but i dont know where to start and have no clue what i want.

    right now, i have a very light yellow and light lilac colored bedspread. im considering getting a down comforter, but i dont know if i want a white one (color choices are limited) with my kitties getting their hair everywhere.

    soo.. help! what does your bed look like?

    I have a white down comforter and a synthetic down comforter that's beige on one side and eggplant colored on the other. I love big fluffy blankets so I like em both and I just use whichever one matches the sheets better.

    My bed has got a really deep, rich wine colour bed set on it and a gorgeous chocolate faux fur throw that makes the covers feel really nice and heavy when you are under them. Great for snuggling in winter.

    For some reason when I think of white bedroom furniture I think of yellow gingham. Really girly, and clean looking. Kinda wish my bedroom wasn't red and black now.

    Would a colored throw over the top of your bed when your not sleeping in it, or cushions break up the white a little and add a bit of color?

    My bed is pirate themed. I have an old wooden frame with drawers on it and fake necklaces hanging off it.

    My bedding is a giant skull with silver swords and some pirate logo along the bottom. My pillows are designed so that each pillow is half a skull painted on it and together they make the whole skull. The sheets are the same blue as the maps on the background of the bedding. The throw pillows are the same offwhite as the skull and I have a silver pillow that's the same colour as the swords.

    Once I find nice red and white vertically striped cotton sheets, I'll be changing the blue ones to that.

    I have a down comforter with a white duvet. You're going to want a duvet if you get a down comforter (dry cleaning them is expensive and that's how you have to clean them). You can get any color you want. Mine is a white duvet with my down comforter and I got really nice tan sheets from overstock.com

    It's like a cover that you put over your comforter. You take it off and wash it. THey usually have button closures on one side. You can find them at something like Bed Bath and Beyond, but they're probably cheaper on something like overstock.com

    I love my bed! I have a memory foam pad on top of the mattress, which is absolutely glorious but makes it difficult to get up in the morning. My sheets are taupe 600 tc Egyptian cotton, the bedskirt is dark brown, and there is a dark green down comforter over the sheet with a pale green quilt and shams on top. I have a Chinese painting which is mostly green hanging over the bed, so I wanted it to coordinate.

    another vote for the duvet. They're a necessity for a down comforter. Plus it enables you to easily change the look without investing in another comforter.

    I have a washable synthetic comforter. I used to have a down one with a duvet, but honestly, it was so heavy that I just hated having to lug it around to put the duvet on and take it off for washing. So I bought a washable thin synthetic comforter and a Woolrich Fuzzy Blanket(tm) (softest, most luxurious throw blanket ever) and I'm super-warm, even in last week's -45 temperatures.

    I also have a memory foam mattress topper. Best $60 I ever spent!

    Most of my sheets are ivory-colored because my zit cream bleaches them anyway. I have one new blue set with fresh bleach marks. Oh well. They're still comfy to sleep on!

    I believe your Bedroom describes you.

    Mine's not big.

    My Bed is a Chocolate Cherry Oak- Cali Queen. One of my wall's (in front of ma bed cuz Im a kinky B!) iz all mirror, theres nothing better than your own reflection. To my right , I have a Dark Chocolate-Almost Black very tall 5' Dresser .

    On Top of my dresser holds my 40' Plasma. Thats it. Thats all. On the left I have a full walk in closet, and my Master bathroom.But every thing is sqooshed in.

    So If I have a male friend over, he only sees my bed , at first glance of my room.

    If you buy a down comforter, my recommendation is to buy a size bigger than your bed at least. I always have a full size bed and I am on my second down comforter (lost one to a boy) and I always have bought a king size. They are not big like other comforters. My king size does not even drap over my mattress completely. I vote for down or down alternative with a nice duvet. I love to duvet because I don't have to use a top sheet. The sheet is built into the comforter.

    Ohhh, this thread is making me miss my bed back home. I had an all down Doona (Comforter, in the UK they call the comforter a duvet and the cover a duvet cover, in Oz we call duvet's doona's, if that makes sense) In the UK. I invested in high thread count cotton (I don't like flannel, the boy seems to love it) sheets and doona covers in plain dark colours like wine red, or chocolate. Low thread count makes my skin freak out. In the winter I have a red satin quilt my mama gave me as a housewarming present when I was 17, and all year round, a faux mink blanket (throw maybe) in leopard print that my papa gave me when I was very sick, I love it. I like matching sheets so I buy them in all neutral colours so they all match. I also have a satin pillow and a big dice pillow (as in square with numbers) and a matching 'card', an ace of spades baby. Yep, I am lady luck.

    Right now It's plain white flannel sheets and one blue, one stripey comforter,boring, I want my faux mink leopard print damnit!!!! Maybe I should call my da and get him to send it, hmmmm, I bet it's been commandeered by my little sister now, like everything else I own.
