Black Comforter
A Black Comforter In The Bedroom? You Bet!
It might seem a gloomy choice to have a black comforter
in your bedroom, but correctly chosen, and with the
right accessories, a black comforter can be elegantly
stylish or even gentle and homespun.
A black comforter can make a bold statement about who
you are and come in so many styles and trims that you
are sure to find one that is right for you.
You can set off a black comforter against an all white
bedroom for a very dramatic statement, team it with a
primary color like red, or accent it with gold for pure
decadent luxury.
Paint the bedroom walls a deep Tuscan gold, or try one
of the ragging techniques with cream and gold paint to
give your black comforter a warm rich setting.
If you prefer a softer statement, a black comforter with
white checks or stripes, mixed with gentle colors and
country accents, can reflect your slower paced outlook
on life.
A black comforter with a classic leaf or flower pattern
printed on toile can give your bedroom an instant
country look. Team it with white `shabby chic’ furniture
and fresh flowers in rustic vases.
For a fresh country look, mix a black comforter with
black and white checks and stripes trimmed with
grosgrain ribbon. White metal garden furniture can look
sensational in a country bedroom, or team your black
comforter with white whicker for a lighter look.
For those who prefer an exotic atmosphere, a black
comforter in a striking Asian pattern looks sensational,
especially if you chose black lacquered Asian-style
furniture and Japanese screens to accent the room.
Chinese calligraphy in slim black lacquer frames and
simple Zen flower arrangements look great with an Asian
patterned black comforter.
Indian patterns look wonderful in black with rich tones
of spice red, yellow and green woven in gorgeous
swirling designs. Team an Indian style black comforter
with cane furniture and drifting muslin curtains for a
truly tropical ambience.
Black leaves entwined with autumn tones of red and gold
create a constant feeling of relaxation in a bedroom.
Look for jacquard or paisley patterns in these tones and
team them with earthy tones in your furnishings and
accents. Clay pots bursting with hyacinths or a
collection of vintage perfume bottles will be perfect
accents for this theme.
For sheer sensual luxury and comfort, you can’t beat a
black comforter in velvet with black satin sheets.
Place a thick pile shag rug near the bed to curl your
toes in on cold mornings. You can choose a rug in black
fake fur, or deep pile cream colored shag to go with
your black velvet comforter, so that the luxury feel
never leaves you.
Black is perfect for teen bedroom, especially boys,
because it goes with anything and comes in such a
variety of styles. Your teen boy will love a black
comforter in denim with a team logo embroidered in the
center and matching pillowcases with black and white
striped sheets. Girl teens will love the look of black
with hot pink or purple accents, combining
sophistication with fun.
Whichever style you choose, you will find a black
comforter will add style and charm to your bedroom.
