Color Match

Borrow hues from other pieces, such as the color in these floral pillow shams, and pair them with a solid sheet set and blanket over the white matelesse coverlet.

Play With Stripes

Amp up an all-white bed with gray striped shams. Patterned and chunky knit throw pillows add more color and texture.

Pattern Mix

Fold flat graphic sheet over the striped duvet to show off the pattern. Toss on a bright chunky throw for a pop of color.

Tone Down

Quiet down bold patterns with white pillowcases.

Create Unity

Pull all the colors together with a throw pillow, like the warm hues of this reversible coverlet, orange blanket and graphic sheets and pillowcases.

Simple Decorative Pillow

A single sham makes a great decorative pillow.

Folded Duvet

Fold the duvet just partway down at the foot of the bed.
