Red Comforters & Quilts

A red comforter is bold and striking, so you should coordinate it with less dominant colors. That way, you won’t overwhelm your bedroom with too much intensity. Here are a few effective color combinations: 

Red and light neutrals: Balance the vibrancy of the red comforter with gentle neutrals. For example, you can pair red with beige, linen, and white. This combination creates a soothing atmosphere. 

Red and black: Pair these colors for a moody, romantic atmosphere. 

Red and blue: Balance your vivid red comforter with light blues, such as aqua or teal. The blues will tone down the dominant red and evoke calmness. 

Yes, you should choose a comforter that’s at least 12” wider than your mattress on each side for optimal coverage. For instance, you could choose a queen comforter for a full-sized bed. 

An oversized comforter has many benefits, including: 

Full coverage: It’s easier to stay tucked under the comforter all night when it extends past the edge of the bed. 

Easy sharing: If you share your bed, a large comforter can reduce fights over the blanket in the middle of the night. 

More sophisticated appearance: An oversized comforter will drape elegantly over the bed, making you feel like you’re staying at a luxury hotel. 

You can coordinate many colors with a red comforter, including: 

Pink: Create a romantic atmosphere by pairing your red comforter with blush pink sheets. Add black or brown throw pillows for a stylish contrast. 

Gray: Tone down a bold red comforter by choosing soft gray or silver sheets. 

Navy blue: Pair a burgundy comforter with navy bedding for a rich and cozy look. You can easily theme this bedding by adding nautical or patriotic throw pillows. 

White: Red and white is a classic combination for bedding. The white sheets will look extra crisp and clean against the vivid red comforter.
