The fresh botanical pink duvet cover comes in a full range of sizes right up to super king. This means that it does not have to be restricted to little princesses. One of the interesting things about the super king duvet cover is the measurements of 102” x 86”. This means that if you like to make patchwork quilts, and are looking for 100% cotton backing for your quilts, this may suit you. The measurement of 86” x 102” is often used as a full size bedspread for a double bed. Both sides of the duvet covers have the same pink and white check pattern so you may even get enough backing for two quilts depending on your quilt size.
The pink duvet cover: for the princess in your life.
This pink and white check duvet cover was unashamedly aimed at young girls’ bedrooms, from toddlers to school to college age and beyond. The colour is inspired by the glorious pink rhododendrons which bloom in the mountains around Lismore, County Waterford, in the month of May. These luxurious flowers herald the start of the summer. On a fine day in May they dress the green mountains in a blaze of colour against the soft blue sky. For those not lucky enough to live near the area, have a look on-line and you will see what I mean. The Forgotten Cotton pink duvet cover attempts to capture the vividness of this wilderness and bring it into the home. The pink and white check of the duvet cover, in a pure cotton fabric, means that it is an age neutral pattern. This durable cotton duvet cover should match and then transcend the various phases that all young princesses go through right up to the college years and well into adulthood. The warm pink colour will work with soft greys or blues or greens and many of the neutral colours such as yellow and white.
Yellow duvet covers for your holiday home.
Yellow duvet cover mixed with white sheets
So why choose a yellow duvet cover set for your holiday home? Yellow bedding is a lovely colour for a summer duvet cover and is great for blending in with various shades of grey or green or blue or white. It also works well with many other colours so is a good choice to have for holiday homes as it will go with many different rooms. If a bed head is pine coloured or a light coloured wood use a white sheet as a contrasting sheet to break up the colour a little so that the yellow colour does not blend in too much with the bed head. Mix in a few white cotton pillowcases to add a crisp effect to the bed. In the “yellow duvet covers part one” video, this blend of colours is used in a room that is painted a soft green.
Yellow duvet covers: the north facing room.
Why choose a yellow duvet cover? If you have a room that does not get a lot of light or is north facing and dull, the correct shade of yellow duvet set can give a glow to a room that imitates sunlight. A white or cream duvet cover will bring additional light into a bedroom on a dark winters’ day, compared with other darker colours, but the cool light it reflects will also reflect the weather outside. However, if you look at a yellow duvet in the same room on the same dull day, you will see how the yellow colour changes the reflected light to a glow reminiscent of a sunny day, bringing warm tones to the room similar to the way buttercups reflect sunlight. This is why we have named our yellow and white check duvet cover set Buttercup Yellow for the glow it gives a room even on a rainy day.
