Where to find new comforter. Update in thread

[sandandsea]

I want to brighten up our master bedroom with a new comforter. I don’t want to paint and will be adding these new prints above the bed.

Any suggestions? I found one set at Macy’s that I like but it’s like $500 which seems like a ton.

Also I want a comforter not a duvet. Duvets drive me crazy as somehow Dh ends up with all the inside and I end up with a corner of duvet cover and we’ve tried all the clips.

Bedding I like



Current




New art

Also would something like this be totally crazy? I’m kinda drawn to the colors. But does it look juvenile and is it light enough to brighten the room?

I kinda feel like the example bed you posted goes with your current room, but not if you add the art you posted. 

If you're set on the art I’d maybe do something more like this

society6.com/product/abstract-minimal-shapes-112889349_comforter?sku=s6-13958471p57a200v700

Or if you want white id go more modern like

society6.com/product/abstract-line-art-10_comforter?sku=s6-11655036p57a200v700

but you can find a million prints on society6. Not sure about the comforter quality but we got a duvet and it’s decent.

Hmm I like the second one you posted, the first means a little 80s aerobics for me or ribbon dancing. . I could also see you pulling that citron color out of the pics or maybe a 70s ish comforter (or mud century Palm Springs look). I think a rug would be very impactful under the bed too. I went years without one and when we finally added one I was surprised how much more complete the room felt.

I agree with all of the above. I’m also considering these but am worried about it being all white. I think this white one matches the fireplace nearly perfectly. Does anyone with kids (who are allowed to be in your room) have all white, and is it doable?






ETA. I do love the artwork so I would rather find bedding that goes with it.


ETA. I went with the white wavy bedding and colorful shams. I’ll try to remember to post after I get the artwork in 8 weeks.

[seriously]

I would stick with the white bedding and add a quilt/blanket and throw pillow or two to bring in the color of the art.

I love the art. I’m not brave enough to use anything with that much color. I’d stick with all white bedding and pull 1-2 colors out of the art with pillows and a throw blanket. And not that you asked, but I’d add a rug too.

As for where to buy, have you looked at Pottery Barn?

They have a lot of options but I’m drawn to this one. I like the idea of adding texture without competing with the artwork.

I love the wavy bedding
Hopefully the waves hide kid stains

I think the first one you posted would be great and really matches your style. But I am firmly team no solid white. I think it always looks beautiful and light and airy, but I can't be trusted with it and I'm an adult. And DH somehow will randomly start bleeding occasionally in his sleep (I mean, I assume it's possible he snored and I punched him, but it's not that much blood), so it's a hard pass on white in our house.

I've also been looking for a replacement for ours... for several years now, so I'm not help.

I'm considering keeping our duvet and doing a quilt or coverlet on it to avoid the shifting duvet inside the cover. I just feel like whatever is on top needs to be laundered more than a comforter can handle without the fill moving all over.

If you decide to go the colorful comforter route, I got this for my mom over Christmas and the colors seem like they would go with the artwork you've selected.  It seems to be sold by a lot of different places.

Yes. Over the weekend I took the duvet insert out of the actual duvet and it was much better. I’m debating getting a colorful throw to cover part of the white. Maybe to match the TBD sheets, maybe teal.

As a bonus this was the runner up. But decided against adding gray and thought this would read mostly gray IRL. But I still think this is beautiful.

I like the art but I think the colorful comforters you suggested tip the room a little into teen-looking. Sorry I don't have time to look right now, but maybe later I'll find some suggestions!

What about picking out one colour from the art and getting a comforter in that?

Here is the update pic. I’m happy with it. Much more lively and bright.
