Silk Duvet Cover Design:

Small details on a neutral colored duvet like bows and pleats add texture and movement. Another way to get a more interesting solid and neutral colored duvet is to go with a duvet that has a jacquard print. A jacquard silk is made by making a pattern in the silk during the weaving process at the loom. The finished result is a duvet of a solid color that has an all over delicate woven pattern that catches the light to create a pattern rather than creating a pattern with color.

They are normally made in bold colors like red, blue and black with floral, medallion or geometric prints and patterns. Neutral colors like white, beige, cream, and light pink at the opposite end of the spectrum are also used to make silk duvets. Neutral colored duvets are a popular choice but to prevent it from appearing bland look for one with a little bit of detail. Small details on naturally colored duvets look dainty and mature at the same time because small details can be beautiful and stand on their own but do not overpower a neutral color.

Kumi Kookoon makes silk covers that are perfect for the person with sensitive skin and allergies because they are naturally hypoallergenic. Kumi Kookoon also makes silk duvets that have delicate and classic details like the silk duvet with french pleats all around the edges. French pleats around the border of a silk duvet cover add visual interest. A border of french pleats act almost as a frame for the duvet. The pleating in the silk catches the light and creates beautifully colored delicate shadows and highlights. When the duvet is exposed to the light of the sun through windows with the curtains pulled aside the pleats capture the movement of the sun throughout the day.

Here's a description of how silk duvet is made:

The types of silk to look for in a silk duvet are Mulberry silk and charmeuse silk. Charmeuse silk is finished with satin and is very soft to the touch. Charmeuse is also very lightweight but is also a great insulator so it adds a warm layer without being too heavy on the body.
