Buying Guide

Black and white polka dots are some of the trendiest and most fashionable prints irrespective of the season and time. They’ve been dominating the world of fashion since the 1950s. What makes them so special is their retro appeal. The problem is most homeowners don’t know how to create a proportional look for their bedroom using the prints.

This is what we’ll help you with; we’ll give you tips on choosing black and white polka dot comforter sets, and make sure you don’t end up having a room that looks cheesy.

How to style with black and white polka dots?

Mixing your polka dotted bedding with throw pillows in bold colors will give you the best results. Your best options are red, pink, green, and yellow. Dotted comforter sets can also be paired with bold-colored quilts, coverlets, and bottom sheets.

Remember, you can only pair a solid color with a black and white polka dot comforter set. If the polka dotted print is colorful, your bedroom will look childish.

If you want the easiest way to outfit the bed you sleep in every night, pick a complete bedding set that comes with perfectly matched elements. The sets are designed to give a matched appearance with a mix of different textures for interest.

Although sets are matched deliberately, there are those who don’t want the “matchy” look. As most comforter sets are pre-matched, you can create an eclectic set on your own by adding an accent to the comforter set. It may be like what we’ve already mentioned: bold-colored bedding components. But, you can also opt for a striped bed skirt or floral throw pillows to give a funky style that’s “pulled-together” at the same time.

If you don’t want to have throw pillows in your bed that you have to remove every single time you sleep, but you are in need of a way to add accessories and accents to your bedroom décor, don’t fret as you can opt for a water carafe with lots of bright colors laid on top of your bedside table. It'll give the tiniest accent that is what you may be looking for.

Another option is to add houseplants in your bedroom. There are hardy, forgiving houseplants that won’t just enhance your bedroom décor, but also purify the indoor air like Philodendron, Snake Plant, and Bromeliads.

What are the best fabrics for black and white polka dot comforter sets?

The fabric used in constructing your new comforter set can have an impact on the style of your bedroom. Fabrics with sheen are more formal-looking compared to matte fabrics and simple cotton. They brighten up dark bedrooms as well, creating a luxurious and glamorous vibe.

Velvet is another sumptuous choice but it can absorb light.

What is fill power?

An important factor that you shouldn’t forget to consider when you’re shopping for a comforter set is its fill power which is the amount of space 1 oz. of down takes up if it’s allowed to reach the maximum loft. To give you an example, 800 fill power implies that 1 oz of down can loft approx. 800 cu. in. Basically, the higher your comforter’s fill power, the fluffier and softer it will be.
