Contemporary and modern design is about taking the old and giving it the pop of the “new” the “now” the “current” style. For sure, the products of today such as flooring, tile, bedding, etc., have been here before – but now, they’re here with a new look and a new life. They’re made from new materials by forward thinking designers who, while taking cues from the past, are creating products for the now and for the future. They’re designing for the sophisticated consumer who prefers minimalism over clutter. The client that chooses sleek, clean lines and textures.
In bedding, namely contemporary double duvet covers, designers are making strides in both pattern and fabric usage. Borrowing retro colors such as avocado green, burnt orange, and mustard yellow, and combining them with stategically placed graphics, they’re creating duvet covers that are bold yet simple and crisp. The pops of color are often grounded with black outlines or on stark white cotton duvet covers.
Matching and coordinating bedding pieces are often spotted with one color or pattern taken from the duvet to keep the eye moving and accentuate, but not compete with, the focal point of the duvet cover.When decorating your bed with a bold and brightly accented contemporary double duvet cover, remember to keep the other elements surrounding it in neutral tones to allow the focal point to remain on the bed. Choose a few accessories of glass or other flowing line textures to carry the eye around the room and create a cohesive look without creating clutter.
Avoid fringes. Avoid tassels, beading and other traditional accents on furniture and window treatments. Avoid ruffles and opt instead for a platform style bed or a tailored bed skirt that lacks pleats. When it comes to contemporary and modern spaces, it is most important to remember that less is more. De-cluttering, choosing sleek, linear furnishings; simple and few eye-catching decorative items, and neutral tones on floors and windows, will help your contemporary duvet cover become the focal point of your room without overpowering the other design elements of the space.
