Customizing Comforters

You love your white down bed comforter, but you've never been inclined towards plain white. In fact, you have a rustic, homey sensibility, or a romantic poetic inclination. You're not inclined, however, to give away your beautiful down comforter. Some bedding comforter decorating ideas:

• For a plain comforter cover, try some romantic stencils such as fleur-de-lis. Pair your comforter with silk or satin sheets.
• That rustic look always needs plaids or checks. Choose a checked or tartan duvet cover for your bed comforter. Or opt for a blanket in that pattern.
• If you have a bed spread and comforter, don't overdo the decor.

Choose a silky romantic bedspread or a tartan bedspread with a plain white down bed comforter. You can offset your not-so-plain comforter with white or light-colored wallpaper or paint. Now you can keep your white down comforter and decorate it too!
