Elegant comforter sets: buying guide

Advice on materials, colours, styles and combinations to choose the perfect elegant comforter set for the sleeping area


The comforter is much more than a simple textile accessory intended to guarantee comfort during rest: it is an element that embodies functionality and aesthetic and which, if chosen with care, can enhance the furnishings of the bedroom. While it ensures warmth and well-being in the colder seasons, it contributes to defining the overall style of the room, influencing its atmosphere and visual perception. The bedroom is one of the most intimate rooms of the house, a place dedicated to relaxation and rest, and every detail inside should be carefully chosen to convey harmony and comfort. The comforter, like other bed linen items, therefore takes on a central role: the fabric, the colors, the patterns become an expression of the personality of those who inhabit the space, making it more welcoming and exclusive.

To choose the most suitable comforter for the sleeping area you will have to evaluate different aspects such as the quality of the fabric, breathability and finishes, without forgetting the aesthetic impact: an elegant comforter set, well coordinated with curtains, carpets and bed linen can make the room more refined, while a model with a more modern design can become the focal point of the furniture.

In this short guide you will find all the useful tips to guide you in choosing materials, styles, colors and patterns and a selection of the best elegant comforter sets by Blumarine Home, synonymous with elegance and refinement, to classily furnish your sleeping area.

How to choose an elegant comforter: materials and styles for every need

One of the first aspects to consider when choosing a comforter is the material with which it is made because it directly affects comfort, aesthetic performance and durability over time. The variety of materials available for comforters is extremely wide and each fabric offers specific characteristics in terms of sensation to the touch, breathability, heat capacity and aesthetic performance. Cotton is certainly the most versatile choice suitable for every season, naturally breathable, pleasant in contact with the skin and easy to wash. It is particularly suitable for everyday use and for those who want a soft and not too shiny finish.

Cotton percale is also among the favorite fabrics for comforters and bedding because it ensures excellent breathability and a matte and refined appearance. Cotton satin stands out for its smooth and slightly shiny surface and its extraordinary softness to the touch: it immediately gives a more refined and luminous effect, ideal for elegant bedrooms or for those who want to give the sleeping area a touch of luxury, without giving up the naturalness of cotton.

Another material to take into consideration if you are looking for a complement with contemporary elegance is polyester with jacquard workmanship, a distinctive sign of the Evelyn double comforter by Blumarine Home Collection, which thanks to the particular workmanship of the fabric captures the light with its brilliant finishes and the Blumarine logo in the texture. Available in a sophisticated powder-coloured nuance, it is designed for those seeking the perfect balance between comfort and refined design.

In addition to the fabric with which the quilt is made, it is also important to evaluate the type of padding and its weight (often expressed in g/m²) based on the season and the amount of heat you want: lighter padding is ideal for mid-seasons, heavier padding, however, for the colder months. If you suffer from the heat, favor breathable materials and percale coverings, if you are looking for envelopment and softness, opt instead for satin and warmer padding.

Another aspect to consider is the style of the comforter, which should adapt perfectly to that of the bedroom, enhancing the other furnishings and accessories present. Before purchasing a comforter for your sleeping area, make sure that it matches well with curtains, pillows, carpets and other bed linen items, or that it reflects at least one color present in the room to make it more harmonious.

Elegant bed comforters in solid color or patterned: which one to choose?

Solid color bed comforters are perfect for any bedroom, from the most classic to the most modern and minimal ones. Neutral tones, such as white, sand, dove grey, visually amplify spaces and are the ideal choice for minimal or contemporary furnishings. Brighter and more intense nuances (such as midnight blue, green or burgundy) allow you to give a touch of color and personality to the environment and are perfect for rooms with a strong character or for adding depth to light floors.

Comforters with floral patterns - such as Orchidea double bed comforter - express romance and elegance and adapt to modern interiors that require a decorative accent. Micro-flowers and more delicate pastel tones - such as those of the Gelsomino comforter - combine with shabby chic atmospheres and are ideal for small or classic style rooms. Damask designs, especially if in jacquard or with a slight shine, also recall the classic taste and charming hostellerie: they work very well with boiserie, important headboards and accessories in velvet or dark wood.

In contemporary interiors, comforters made of tone-on-tone damask fabrics or neutral palettes can become an elegant material texture. Quilts with original details, such as contrasting borders, decorative stitching or precious applications, can instead add a touch of luxury, uniqueness and personality to the environment.

How to combine elegant comforters to create a perfect atmosphere in the bedroom

To match an elegant comforter in the right way and create a truly harmonious atmosphere in the bedroom, start from the palette and effect you want to achieve. A solid color quilt in pastel tones - like the Sunday comforter - can be perfectly combined with patterned sheets. If you want to achieve a particularly elegant effect, try combining a quilt in beige or ivory tones with floral sheets on a light background - such as Fleurette sheets - and decorative cushions that recall the colors of the quilt.

If the comforter has darker colors, such as midnight blue or graphite, you can lighten the ensemble with fine-print sheets, such as stripes or minute polka dots, and create a play of contrasts with solid-colored cushions in optical white or petrol blue. If you love the classic, you can opt instead for a satin comforter in neutral tones and floral sheets in powder or mauve tones, complementing it all with the addition of elegant jacquard cushions, such as Glam cushions, perfect for creating a refined and romantic room.

If the quilt has a floral pattern with large prints or motifs, the balance arises from the essentiality of the sheets: opt for solid colored sheets taking up the background or lighter color of the design and use the cushions to recall the colors of the fantasy. Even different patterns can create an original effect if combined in the right way: for example a polka dot quilt with very thin striped sheets and solid color cushions.
