Is it better to get a comforter set or a quilt set?

by on May 5, 2010

I am moving to Chicago, and so I’m shopping for my new apartment. I was wondering if it’s better to get a quilt, or a comforter set? Quilts seem to be prettier, while comforters seem to be warmer and have more body. So, which one is better?

As a designer, I tend to go with comforter sets, especially if you are in a cold climate. I mostly use quilts as blankets. A lot of the comforter sets come with additional accessories like the shams, bedskirts which are all extra if you purchase a quilt. And then, quilts are a little difficult to match window treatments, pillows, other upholstered items with. Why not get a lovely quilt to use as a throw say in your family or living room and a color on color comforter set for your bedroom? Brylane Home, Domestications both have on-line catalogs with lovely and inexpensive all inclusive comforters. Plus, they even have window treatments which will match some of the sets. Some of my clients like to change out their bedding for the season with lighter weight choices like matlesse for the summer. So I try to choose comforter sets that have bedskirts that can be used with other bedding for that purpose.

You’ll have the Miracle Mile though, what fun to shop that!
