How to Decorate With a White Comforter

A white comforter turns your bed into the ultimate clean slate for decorating. A few additional pieces will add color and texture to your sleeping space without overwhelming the room with busyness. The best part of starting with a white comforter as your backdrop is the ease of redecorating against it. Change up the accent colors with ease for a completely new palette any time of the year. Redecorate regularly with the season, occasionally with your evolving tastes or any time to suit your mood.

Instructions

      Pair your white comforter with a colorful layer underneath such as colored sheets or a colored blanket between the comforter and sheets. Fold the comforter back to the bottom of the bed when you want a wash of color added to the room, or keep it neatly folded up for a tidier look.

      Fold a throw blanket into thirds and drape it across the bottom of the bed. Select a solid-colored blanket to define the decorating palette for the room. Warm coral or cerulean blue add vibrant color. Soft pink or beige creates a calmer atmosphere.

      Use white pillow shams for the largest pillows on the bed to anchor the space. Pile colored pillows in increasingly smaller sizes in front of these. Use a pair of standard-sized pillows for a neat, clean-lined look. Pile on throw pillows in a variety of shapes and textures for a softer atmosphere that just begs you to dive onto the bed.
