Do you love the style of a lavish hotel room with elegant window coverings and bedding comforter sets ready to fall into and wrap around you with it’s puffy warmth letting you dream the dreams of the innocent? Would you like to create the same look in your home? Well, it is easy to do. Several things to keep in mind are plumping up the bed, sophistication, lighting, and simplicity.
Bedding comforter sets on the bed are the most important things when you are going for elegantly comfortable. Look for 400-thread count or higher sheets for the bed. Egyptian cotton sheets have a high thread count and are oh so soft to sleep on. Use extra pillows that are fluffy and full and you can add extra padding to the bed in the form of a portable pillow top mattress for extra comfort and softness. If you don’t already have a pillow top mattress, look in the bedding department of most stores and you can find a pillow top type comforter to lay across the mattress you already have. Even Walmart sells them and, believe me, it’s pure heaven!
The choice of colors for bedding comforter sets can give off the look of elegant simplicity or you can go for my favorite theme, the “shabby cottage” look. The shabby cottage look consists of pillows piled on the bed and different floral patterns in the pillow shams, comforter, sheets and bed skirt and gives off the feel of a “fairytale” bedroom. Understated elegance or shabby cottage, either can really pack a wallop when used correctly.
Walking into a bedroom with beautiful window dressing can also give you the look of a high end hotel. A valance along with brocade drapes can give you one look while “cape cod” type curtains can give you another. One of the rules with curtains is not to be skimpy. Make sure you have enought sets to cover the window. On a wide window you may need 3 or 4 sets of curtains to give off the “full and rich” look.
If you do use drapes, make sure you have a sheer curtain that allows the light to shine in and a heavier curtain matching the bedding. So you could have your rich looking brocade drapes with a sheer curtain in a shade a little lighter than the drape color. You should be able to pull back the curtains to allow the light in when you want it and to keep the light out when you prefer the darkness.
Plush and fluffy in bedding comforter sets are the keys for a comfortably elegant bedroom. Get the fluffiest down comforter or alternative down comforter you can. You want the dressed up bed to be the focal point of the room and having the puffiest comforter in bedding comforter sets will do the trick.
