Yes - really debating the big issues with this topic!! The dog, cat and children were playing on our bed last night and ripped a massive hole in our quilt cover. The one that ripped was a dark charcoal waffle type colour cover. The only problem is that the curtains that dominate our room are really difficult to co-ordinate with Would prefer something not quite as dark as what we had as it gets covered in dog hair the day we put it on! So design gurus - hit me with your quilt cover ideas - the curtains are similar to this wallpaper http://www.vectorious.net/img-damask-wallp...round-13305.htm Thanks in advance!

Yellows and duck egg blues go great with charcoal. I buy a lot of stuff from Adairs. Try www.adairs.com

I have a food blog.
I would just go for something plain white, perhaps with a texture or pattern to it, then layer with a charcoal blanket or quilt at the foot of the bed.

That sounds lovely Credence - but should have said I have a black cat which sheds and sleeps for about 18 hours a day on the bed. I will take a look boatibabe - thank you!

No more room at the inn
The chair is lovely I shouldn't have looked. Sorry I don't know what to suggest for the cover. Then I found this Sheridan Millennia

Rather inclined to giggle. Doesn't put things away.
I like the Sheridan one. I agree a white one would work with some dark throw pillows. We bought this one in ivory and we love it, but it comes in white too.
