Create new, versatile styles for bedrooms with duvets

- BY KATIE LAUGHRIDGE Tribune News Service

One of my goals this year to give my bedroom a makeover, but with so many wonderful designs constantly being introduced, I find it hard to settle on just one that I want to feature in our primary bedroom.

I confess that I have developed a new duvet obsession. Since I can’t change my bedding every other week (my husband and I disagree on how many looks for one room is too many), I have been keeping track of my favorite versatile looks for this exact moment.

DREAMY DENIM

Denim-colored linen is a perfect textile for a versatile duvet. Each reincarnat­ion of this denim-inspired bedding features a new fair of pattern or color to accompany it. This unique linen is sturdy enough to ground a bed but light and airy enough to not weigh down your room. It stands up to strong pops of color from Kelly green to crimson and can blend seamlessly with neutrals and complement­ary blues. Its subtle texture is also perfect for pattern pairing, so no need to hold back when ordering playful throw pillows.

TIMELESS NEUTRAL

It is hard to beat a simple but elegant neutral toned ready-made. This option is cost-efficient and never goes out of style. A neutral duvet draws your eye to the small details, whether that be a lovely trim or a luxurious statement pillow. This is the perfect style for someone who wants to switch up their pillows seasonally since anything goes. Warm it up or cool it down, a neutral duvet goes with any room style.

CLASSIC BLACK WINDOWPANE PLAID

You know I couldn’t finish a Top 3 favorite list without bringing in a plaid option. Not only am I shamelessl­y obsessed with plaid, but menswear-inspired decor is having a moment and, in my humble opinion, it’s here to stay. I adore a masculine bedding look that I can still put my own spin on – it is a win-win for me and the hubs. The great thing about this duvet is the ability to mix in other plaids throughout the year. The simplicity of the colors makes it a blank canvas for all my checked and tartan whims.

A bedding set with longevity is the gift that keeps on giving. While I may fall prey to a flavor of the year (or season) still, at least I always know that I can transition one of these looks into a beautiful and stunning guest bedroom.
