Using a Quilt to Infuse Your Bedroom Décor with Charm and Personality

Whether you think of yourself as a country mouse or a city sophisticate, there’s a quilt that will perfectly express the décor you want your bedroom to have—and quilts provide an easy mans of transforming your bedroom’s look when you feel it’s time for a change.

Why are quilts so versatile?

Well, for one thing, they come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. You can buy a silk quilt in calm neutrals that will show off ornately carved Oriental furniture to best advantage, a calico quilt in bright red, white and blue that will complement Early American style, a sophisticated hot pink and black number that will enliven a loft and anything in between.

Moreover, you can change the entire look of your bedroom by buying sheets and complementary bedding in the various colors of your quilt. Navy sheets with a colorful navy and red patchwork quilt create an entirely different look than sheets in the same red tone in the quilt provides. Using curtains in one of the same colors used in your quilt is yet another way to make your quilt the star of your bedroom “show.”

And you don’t have to limit yourself to just one quilt, either. Have one in warm red and yellow tones that will make you feel warmer for covering your bed in the winter and another for summer in cool blue and white that will make you feel cooler and more comfortable on a hot summer night. You can even add quilts for spring and fall to your bedroom’s quilt wardrobe as well—perhaps a flowered pink and green quilt for spring and a dark green and rust combination for fall.

The bottom line here is that whatever your décor preferences, whatever your mood or whimsy, and however you would like your bedroom to express your decorating personality, there’s a way to do it with a quilt!
