Decorating a home can be one of a homeowner's biggest challenges, and greatest joys. Finding just the right accessory to complete or enhance a room requires thought and intention -- especially in the bedroom. Whether it is your guest bedroom or your master, the right comforter can set the whole tone of the room; here are some tips to keep in mind.

Setting the Tone

Setting the tone of your bedroom is a crucial first step in deciding what sort of comforter is right for you. In order to set the tone of your bedroom, consider the following:

• What kind of mood do you want your bedroom to set?
• Is there any particular theme you would like to incorporate into the room?
• What do you want the space to say about you?
• How can a new comforter be integrated seamlessly into your existing decor?

Establishing a mood and theme for a room will help point you in a specific direction when looking for a comforter, and knowing what sort of statement you want to make, and what existing decor must be incorporated, will help you narrow down your choices. For example, say you want your bedroom to create a calming peaceful atmosphere, so you decide to go with either a neutral or cool toned color palette. Great, Linen Store has a comforter options that fit into those categories. To narrow it down more you decide you want to make a statement and would prefer a pattern over a solid. Next decide which one of Linen Stores great patterned comforters fits best with your existing decor. If you want to keep it neutral the Kashi Home Beige Leaves comforter is a great idea, or if you looking to add a little color, but still keep things serene, maybe the Daniel Linen Blue Stripe comforter is more your style.

Color Schemes

Determining your color scheme can really help pinpoint what you are looking for in a comforter. Perhaps you have all white walls and want to make your bed the star of the show -- go with a bold color, a great comforter idea would be the Kashi Home Orange Flower Reversible comforter, this comforter has bright lively colors that will attract all eyes and inject energy into any room.

Maybe your rooms are already more tailored to your color preferences, in this case, consider either integrating your comforter into that specific theme or keeping it entirely neutral. A room with a more green color scheme for instance would blend effortlessly with either the Daniel Linen Sandra comforter’s lovely paisley design or even the Plazatex Solid Embossed comforter. However, if you are not comfortable matching that much green (or whichever color) consider a more neutral comforter idea like the beautiful white U.S. Polo Assn Down Alternative comforter, and accenting it with an extra blanket that ties in your color scheme, for instance the Plazatex Premium Collection Blanket.

Investing in Reversible Sets and Blankets

Once you have settled on the tone and color scheme of your room, it is time to consider getting the most bang for your buck. Your comforter is an investment and should last you a long time, but that does not mean you want to be stuck looking at the same pattern day after day. Reversible comforters are a great way to change up your bedroom without a lot of effort. The Kashi Home Lilac/ Flower print Reversible comforter has a fun print on one side and a solid lilac on the other - the two sides coordinate and look stunning together. The ability to make your bed with a print one day and a solid the next gives you a great deal of freedom in the way you choose to decorate -- and is really just lots of fun!

You can also change up the look of your bedroom by adding different accessories to your bed. Including an extra blanket at the end of the bed is not only useful but adds that extra touch of elegance to the room, the PlazaTex Sherpa Blanket is the epitome of this luxury, providing both warmth and style. If you are looking to add some texture to your bedding consider the Plazatex Mermaid Sherpa Blanket, the beautiful texture detail will enhance any room and provide a lux factor that may not have been there before.
