Floral Quilt Comforter - Traditional to Modern Styling
Floral Comforter | Quilt Comforter
When you think of a floral comforter, what comes to mind? You may be thinking about the blankets from
generations past still hanging over the guest bedroom at your grandmother's house or heavily flowered patterns that
give the sense of old age and traditional home values.
While there are some floral quilt comforter sets that rely on that heavily flowered pattern, most floral
comforters selling on the market today are more modern in terms of color, pattern, and material.
Modern Comforter Colors
Instead of the soft blues, pinks, and whites that may have been used for floral patterns in the past, today's
market features floral patterns in silver, black, cream, and other nontraditional colors. Think of a shiny silver
silky material with minimalistic black flowers rising up along one side with a solid black strip of satin running
across the other side.
One modern technique that is very popular for modern comforters is the mixing of patterns that are contrasting
to one another. For instance, the silver and black floral comforter set we imagined in the last paragraph may have
lines drawn in the bottom panel of the silver material which contrast with the black floral arrangement rising up
the side. The lines would likely be in the same color as the silver background so they are muted, creating a
pleasant contrast to the overall quilt comforter.
Bold colors such as red and purple are also common colors for floral quilt comforter sets these days.
Modern Comforter Patterns
Notice in the above example that the floral used was not an all-over print. Many floral comforter sets today
accomplish the modern vibe by using more stark, minimalistic flower patterns that do not cover the entire quilt
comforter. This allows for those who love floral prints to have their fix without overdoing it and crossing into
that outdated floral effect.
Flower designs that come up one side or the middle of a quilt comforter are very common now, as are silhouettes
of floral arrangements that are placed on coordinating pillows or on the underside of the quilt comforter.
Modern Comforter Materials
The quilt comforter sets currently on the market take materials well past the typical cotton and polyester
blends. You can now find very luxurious floral comforter sets that are made of satin, silk, and even velvet. These
are some of the softest, slickest quilt comforters to be found on the market anywhere and they are making their way
into a growing number of bedrooms these days.
Another material option that is gaining in popularity is organic and all natural materials. You can find quilt
comforter sets and coordinating sheets that are made of hemp, bamboo, and other materials if you are willing to pay
the extra expense for them.
If you love floral patterns but still want a more modern styling for your home, a more minimalistic designed
floral comforter could be the perfect option. If it has been awhile since you have looked into the market for quilt
comforters, take some time to look at the websites of your favorite stores as well as online retailers such as
Amazon. This will give you a good idea of what is selling on the market today so you get a better idea of the
style, color, and pattern that you would prefer for your floral quilt comforter.
