Daybed Comforters
A daybed can have a dramatic impact on the style of any room; a major part of that impact is the style of comforter you choose to compliment your daybed frame. While choosing a daybed comforter, consider the complete look you wish to achieve, as well as the materials used in the construction of the comforter.
Achieving a Look
You will find an incredibly wide variety in the colors and patterns of comforters available. Of course, you should consider the general style you want—juvenile, sophisticated, elegant, romantic, etc.—but you might also want to consider whether you want the daybed to look more like a sofa or a bed. If you want the daybed to look more like a simple sofa, stick to solid colors incorporated with a thinner, flatter comforter. If you want the daybed to look more like a bed, you may choose from a wide variety of patterns and styles and will probably want to complement the comforter with pillow shams and a dust ruffle. A dust ruffle is especially attractive if the comforter drops less than 21 inches from the front of the mattress, as comforters that are too short will not cover the undercarriage of the daybed.
Materials Used
Think about the traits of the materials the comforter is made from, as well as the comforter’s general appearance. Do you want a comforter that is washable in a regular wash cycle? Comforters made of silk fibers or goose down should be protected in a duvet cover as they are more difficult to clean. Do you suffer from allergies? A polyester comforter may be the best choice. Would you prefer a cotton comforter? Remember that comforters with a thread count higher than 250 will be softer, last longer, and wrinkle less than comforters with a lower thread count.
Whether you are accessorizing your daybed for the first time, or updating a look as part of a home interior decorating project, putting some thought into your choice of daybed comforter will be worth the charming final result. |
