help me make my bed look nice

[Cappuccino]

after a disastrous flirtation with a plum-coloured duvet cover which went straight back to the store, dh has put his little gay foot down and decided that, like Anthea, he believes that bedlinen should be White.

Which was lovely in summer. But now my bed looks as warm and inviting as a polar ice cap

So, it is white, it is iron-style (ie not from Feather and Black, but from Ikea) I have a chocolate brown carpet (which is very lovely) and purple and glass chandeliers

flirting with idea of a fake fur throw but wondering if it will Look Odd atop the snowball of my bed?

i've got a great chocolate coloured throw from next that looks really snuggly and nice on the bed. hehe at his little gay foot!

did you now see my thread here about the dream bedding i'd spied and was hoping to recreate?

bedding perfection imho

Agree that if it's all going to be white, you need to go for texture to make things feel cosier. Doesn't have to be fluffy, but there are some lovely ones around. Cod's link has a white fluffy one on for £40, which sounds OK.

i have a white stone and plae blue bedroom
no fuss no effin chandeliers

You could go for cream, and get a chenille one (would have to see in rl to see if it was nice or naff, I guess - never quite sure about chenille), or a velvety one , or a quilted velvet one ?

Or some fur ones here , here , or go for lambswool (bit ££ though).

JackieNo I can't take those throws seriously

Know what you mean, Cappuccino - pics made me giggle too, but good prices, if you want a fur one.

That's my bed, that is [absurdly proud emoticon]., Although my cushions aren't matchy-matchy with my throw, they co-ordinate (much more chic )
