Quilts and Bedspreads

Bed quilts have long held a place in Southern, French Country, and shabby chic design schemes, but many designers have begun to offer this beloved bedspread in a variety of other styles as well, suiting almost any home.

INC International Concepts and Ralph Lauren are among many that construct exquisite bed quilts appropriate for even modern room designs. A reversible quilt featuring the traditional quilting on one side and a surprising animal print on the other is one example of an exciting twist on a classic. Reversible quilts tend to feature the main quilted side in one solid, vivid color, with the eye-catching design on the other side complementing the main color. Since these tend to be part of a larger bedding collection, complete the grouping with matching decorative pillows for a uniform look, and keep sheet and pillowcases understated to display the coverlet’s design.

Those that prefer a solid quilt without the reversible option can still create a contemporary look. Choose a sateen or linen quilt with linear or geometric quilted threads. A bold, primary color like red can complement a modern bedroom, as can neutral browns or even a stark white. Whichever color scheme you prefer, tie the bedding together with a matching quilted sham and opt for solid sheets over patterned designs.

Few bedroom designs create a comfortable, welcoming effect like a country or shabby chic theme, which is where a traditional quilt can truly shine. The Martha Stewart Collection offers some of the classic quilt designs many will recognize, including the Friendship Ring pattern, as well as modern interpretations of vintage styles. These colorful bed quilts feature fun accents like scalloped edges or solid trims, completed with a matching pillow shams. These nostalgic floral-inspired, embossed, or geometric designs make charming additions to any bedroom and can really pull the room together.
