Use Bedspreads and Comforters to Create a New Mood

My bedroom is a sanctuary. It is where I go to get away from the world. When I am angry or sad, I can shut myself in my room and know that it is my own space, and I can hide away there until I feel ready to face whatever I need to. My bedroom is not just a place to sleep.

One of the cheapest, easiest, and best ways to make a bedroom your own is to use comforters and bed spreads to create a mood. Think of the possibilities! I actually only have two comforters for my room, one for winter use, and one for summer use. But when I change them out it totally changes the look of the room. One of them is a dark, heavy, elegant looking bedspread in a deep purple. It is perfect for winter time in my area, first because it is heavy and warm, but also because on the cold winter nights it not only keeps me warm it also makes me feel pampered. The other comforter is a silky, light-colored fabric that is perfect for summer. When I change from the winter comforter to the summer comforter, my room feels as if it's going from winter to summer.

Now the other part of this equation is the other accessories in your bedroom that can complement more than one bedspread and comforter. Because most likely you will not have two bedspreads and comforters the same color. So you will need to have a complementing color on both of them to pull it all together. In the case of mine, I have one that is purple and one that is green. The reason this works, is that I have pink walls with a purple flowered wallpaper on one wall. The purple of the bedspread matches the flowers in the wallpaper. The Green bedspread has some small pink flowers dotted about it, which pulls in the pink from the walls. In this way I can achieve two totally different looks for my room simply by changing out the comforter.

Another way to quickly and easily achieve a brand-new look in your room is by buying a bed comforter set for your room. A bed comforter set is one that comes complete with accessories for your room. Not only does it have the bedspread or comforter for your bed, in the same package is also curtains, pillows, shams, bed skirts, and sheets with pillowcases all in one package. You could buy more than one of these total room packages, and when you want to change the mood of your room simply unpack one and put it up and pack the other set away. The beauty of these packages is that you do not have to spend hours going from store to store trying to find the curtains to match your bedspreads and to another store to pick up your sheets, it is all chosen for you with a common theme.

I hope I've helped you to see how you can quickly and easily achieve a brand-new look for your room by using bedspreads and comforters. If you have a guest room, this is a simple and easy way to personalize a room for a coming guest. You can change the them of the room from elegant to playful in the blink of an eye. If your mother-in-law is coming to stay and you want to make her feel at home, this can be an inexpensive and quick fix.
