How to Style Your Bed with Neutral, Indigo & Ivory Tones – Featuring Amity Home’s Best Coverlets

The Top Matelassé Coverlets for a Luxe, Relaxed Bedroom Look

Have you ever thought something was missing in the bedroom? Something along the lines of textural beauty that said “luxury”, while still leaving an inviting intention of wanting to be cuddly?

When we say “coverlet” we are not merely discussing an additional blanket, it is the finishing touch and accessory to your envisioned bed. It can feel just like cozy light-weight warmth, a look of a classic quilted quality, and instantly take a room from meh, to somehow instantly finished and pleasingly chic.

At Amity Home we believe that your home should be a representation of YOU, full of warmth, a home full of beautiful things you truly love. Our Matelassé coverlets have been created for just that occasion, marrying great craft, and great classic style to give you a base layer that you will love for many years to come.

The word Matelassé (mat-la-SAY) describes a French weaving or stitching technique that is called to create a quilted or padded appearance, but does not have padding in the actual fabric. This allows you to keep lovely, sculptural texture, but not unwanted, or needed bulk.

Below are some of our favorites, from the Matelassé collection in Amity Home..

1] Basic, Neutral Foundation: Cooper Coverlet, Natural

Want a refined basic that goes with everything?

Cooper Coverlet, Natural is the answer. This classic matelassé made of mercerized cotton offers a smooth, refined look that feels wonderful. The fine stippling pattern provides an elevated yet understated design for timeless sophistication without excess embellishment. A crisp, straight edge and flange create the finishing touch of sophisticated simplicity.

Style Tip: The natural, sandy tone creates a perfect benchmark for a soothing, harmonious bedding design. The Cooper Coverlet, Natural can be paired with crisp white sheets and a few textured ivory throw pillows to showcase the neutral tone.

Why we love it:

– It is a natural and basic piece—the neutral Natural color and smooth texture work with any bedding design style.

– The mercerized cotton feels refined and offers an upscale look.

– It features a quality product proudly made in Portugal at a reputable mill known for their quality.

– It is the ideal beginning for creating a soothing, harmonious bedding design.

2] The Dorian Coverlet, in Indigo: A Rich Pop of Color.

If you want a coverlet that has a soft, warm, and sophisticated look with depth of color, the Dorian is a great pick.

Сreatively introducing a classic style, the Dorian Coverlet (Indigo) is made out of mercerized cotton for a smooth hand. The coverlet features an all-over stipple design adding texture and visual interest; the Indigo color is a perfectly balanced deep tone – a rich hue that has dimension and depth that grounds the presentation without stealing the thunder of the rest of the bedscape. This style is thoughtfully finished off with a subtly feminine delicately self-scalloped edge.

Styling Tip: Use the Dorian-Indigo as your pop of color! It pairs beautifully with Cooper Coverlet (Natural) or Hancock Coverlet (Ivory) styles as a folded accent at the foot of the bed, achieving a completely cool coastal, or modern farmhouse look. Use crisp white sheets to finish the bed job and for a sharp contrast.

What we love it:

– Indigo immediately imbues a richness and sophisticated drama to a space.

– The scalloped edges are a classic complement to the traditional Matelassé.

– The sophisticated texture allows for just-right punctuating.

3] The Crisp, Light-Filled Finish: Hancock Coverlet, Ivory

If you’re looking for an immaculate, light-filled look reminiscent of a five-star hotel,

The Hancock Coverlet in Ivory is a must-have.

The Hancock fabric shares the same luxurious mercerized cotton and all-over stippling design that the others do, but the soft, fresh Ivory color creates such a beautiful clean statement. This matelassé provides a grounding minimalist vibe while still feeling like high-end designer quality; it is timelessly fresh. This style features a crisp, straight edge.

Styling Tip: Use the Hancock Coverlet in Ivory as the main, clean layer. Layer the Dorian Coverlet (Indigo) at the foot of the bed for a pop of contrast, and give your neutral element with Natural-colored throw pillows. This high-contrast color scheme is timeless and sophisticated.

Why we love it:

– Ivory gives you an instant unusual clean contrast to your other furnishings and accent colors, without being a pure bright white.

– The refined Matelassé texture gives the design interest so the bed isn’t flat.

– It simply says sophisticated, tailored glamour and provides a perfect background for colorful throw pillows.

A Couple of Quick Tips on How to Choose Your Perfect Coverlet

– About Matelassé Weight: Matelassé coverlets, ideal year-round bedding! It’s light-weight for layering during cooler months, and certainly breathable enough that you will be able to use it in the cozy months, too!

– Texture is Your Friend: If you fancy a monochromatic look (think only neutrals-), allow the texture of a matelassé (like the stippling on these three coverlets) to provide your visual interest.

– Layered Color: When layering with Indigo, Natural and Ivory, keep in mind balance. Start your lightest color (Ivory) as your base, add your neutral (Natural) in shams or mid-layer, and finish with your deep accent (Indigo) at the foot of the bed or in a throw blanket.
