Special order collection

There’s something quiet and special when sleeping under a quilt made specifically for you. It features the colors you choose, the fabrics you choose and a style that feels like an extension of your personality. A custom quilt is more than just bedding. 

It shows how you live and how you reset after a long day. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a custom quilt that is exclusively crafted to meet your exact specifications, then this guide will walk you through the entire process. You can take a glance at how the Special Order Collection on Amity Home makes this vision a reality.

What is a Custom Quilt and Why Does It Matter? 

A custom quilt is a quilted bed cover subjected to customizations based on the customer’s specific choices. It includes the fabric, color, style, and size. Unlike off-the-shelf bedding, which forces you to compromise on at least one factor, a custom quilt is tailored to your specific preferences. 

A tailor-made quilt or duvet, or matelasse, is crafted around the expectations of the clients from initial thread to final stitch. The customization of quilts extends beyond the boundaries of aesthetics. 

Bedding is something we touch daily, and if it is tailored to your mood, it can change the bedroom’s atmosphere, sleep quality, and interior. Your space can lean towards Bohemian Chic, Timeless Tradition, or Sophisticated Texture. The Amity Home’s Special Order collection shows all design directions. The custom quilt makes the bedroom feel like it wasn’t framed by mistake, but rather by design.

How to Customize a Quilt with Fine-Class Fabric & Style

Picking the right shade, style, and fabric isn’t always a cakewalk. When it comes to customizing the bedding, especially quilts or duvets, imagination plays a significant role. At Amity Home, we give wings to your imagination and produce exclusive collections just for you. Here are simple steps to help you design an elegant, tailor-made quilt.

Step 1: Choose Your Style

The first and most foundational decision in creating a custom quilt is choosing a style that resonates with your space and your sensibility. Amity Home’s Special Order collection offers 15 to 19 distinct styles to guide this process, ranging from the romantic and understated to the boldly textured and sculptural. 

Bohemian Chic — This aesthetic leans into layered, eclectic warmth. If your bedroom features rattan accents, warm wood tones, or collected art, this style complements the organic energy of the space. 

Modern Elegance — For those who prefer clean lines and a refined palette, this direction delivers quiet sophistication. It pairs beautifully with minimal furniture and neutral wall tones.

Sophisticated Texture — This is where fabric takes center stage. Quilts in this category emphasize surface depth and tactile richness, making the quilt itself the focal point of the bed.

Timeless Tradition and New Traditions — These styles bridge classic and contemporary, honoring the heritage of quilt-making while embracing modern sensibilities in color and construction. 

Farmhouse and Mountain Lodge — Earthy, grounded, and cozy, these styles work beautifully in rustic or cabin-inspired interiors. Casual Cottage, Mainly Modern, Simply Romantic, and Youth — Rounding out the collection are styles that serve every household and every lifestyle, From the playful to the serene. Taking the time to identify which of these styles aligns with your bedroom’s existing design is the most important first step in the custom quilt journey. 

Step 2: Select Your Fabric 

Once your style is in place, the next decision is fabric — and this is where the sensory experience of your quilt is truly determined. Amity Home’s Special Order collection features 12 fabric choices across a range of textures and materials, each designed to serve a different aesthetic and comfort need. 

Aurora quilt from special order collection

Aurora Quilt Special Collection

Velvet — Rich, lustrous, and deeply tactile, velvet is a fabric that transforms any bedroom. The Amity Home Aurora Quilt, for instance, is crafted from viscous velvet, blending hand quilting with a machine-quilted border. Inspired by the visual dynamism of the Aurora Borealis, this quilt reveals varying tones and depths depending on how light falls across its surface. 

The viscose fiber mimics the luxurious feel of silk velvet, giving it both visual appeal and exceptional softness. The Roan Quilt and the Hawke Quilt are also available in plush velvet, offered in rich, earthy tones like Charcoal, Indigo, Ivory, Kale, Khaki, Mineral, Mushroom, and Tobacco. 

Dale Quilt Special Collection

Linen — For those who prefer breathable, effortlessly casual bedding, linen is the definitive choice. The Barcelona Quilt is crafted in linen and available in a wide array of colors, including Asphalt Chambray, Indigo, Kale, Neutral Grey, Seaglass, Steel Blue, Walnut Brown, and White. Linen quilts carry an organic, lived-in quality that only gets better with time, making them ideal for farmhouse and coastal interiors. The Dale Quilt is another linen option, featuring a subtle diamond quilting pattern across its surface in the same thoughtful color palette.

Simona rayon quilt

Simona Rayon Quilt Special Collection

Rayon Velvet — The Simona Quilt and the Baldwin Quilt introduce rayon velvet into the mix. Available in nuanced tones like Copper, Cypress, Tobacco, Limestone, Petal Pink, and Seaglass, these quilts strike a balance between softness and sheen that feels genuinely luxurious without being overwrought. 

Ethan quilt

Ethan Quilt Special Order Collection 

Cotton and Cotton Blends — The Ethan Quilt offers a cotton-forward composition, available in warmer seasonal tones like Blush, Khaki, Laurel, and Ochre. The Cartwright Quilt brings a clean, structured sensibility in linen, available in Asphalt Chambray, Seaglass, Steel Blue, and White. The key to selecting the right fabric is to think about both function and feeling. 

A velvet quilt in Peacock or Steel Blue becomes a dramatic focal point; a white linen quilt is quietly grounding and endlessly versatile.

Step 3: Choose Your Color 

Color is where personal expression enters most powerfully. Amity Home’s Special Order collection spans an impressive palette developed around the fabric categories described above. The velvet range includes colors like Ash Grey, Caramel, Ivory, Oyster, Peacock, Petal Pink, Seaglass, Steel Blue, and Limestone — each a considered, livable tone rather than a trend-chasing statement. 

For linen quilts, the palette shifts toward chambray-influenced hues: Asphalt Chambray, Grey Chambray, Indigo, Kale, Neutral Grey, Seaglass, Steel Blue, Walnut Brown, and White. These colors have a depth that photographs beautifully and works harmoniously with a wide range of bedroom palettes. 

Rayon velvet options include Copper, Cypress, Limestone, Petal Pink, Peacock, Seaglass, Steel Blue, and Tobacco — sophisticated, warm, and decidedly grown-up in their sensibility. If you are unsure which color will work in your space, Amity Home offers swatches for every bedding item, available individually or as complete sets. 

This is a particularly valuable step before committing to a special order collection, as digital screens can render colors differently from the actual textile. 

Step 4: Choose Your Size 

A custom quilt is only as functional as it is correctly sized. Amity Home’s Special Order quilts are available in a comprehensive range of dimensions: Twin, Full/Queen, King, and Oversize King, with coordinating shams in Standard, Euro, King Sham, and Dutch Euro. 

The Oversize King option — measuring 115 x 98 inches — is particularly noteworthy. Standard king quilts often fall short on the sides of pillow-top or thick mattresses, and an oversize king resolves this entirely, delivering a full, draped look that elevates the entire bed presentation. 

This level of detail is part of what makes the Special Order program distinct From ready-to-ship alternatives. 

Step 5: Explore the Duvet and Matelasse Options 

A custom quilt is just one expression of personalized bedding. Amity Home’s Special Order collection also includes custom duvets and matelasse coverlets for those who want to take their entire bed design to a bespoke level. 

The Brisbane Duvet and Damara Duvet are crafted in French linen and offered in rich color options like Asphalt Chambray, Grey Chambray, Indigo, Kale, Neutral Grey, Seaglass, and Walnut Brown. 

Both carry the relaxed, tactile quality that makes linen duvets so enduringly appealing — the kind of bedding that looks styled even when it isn’t. The Bryce Duvet brings a slightly more structured sensibility and is available in a similarly curated linen palette including White, Steel Blue, and Neutral Grey. 

For those drawn to the elevated warmth of a velvet duvet, the Lia Duvet introduces rayon velvet in a luxurious range that includes Limestone, Peacock, Petal Pink, Seaglass, and Tobacco — making it a natural complement to the Aurora or Simona quilts if you are building a layered bed.

Tahoma duvet

The Tahoma Duvet rounds out the collection with a washed velvet texture, available in the core velvet palette of Charcoal, Indigo, Ivory, Kale, Khaki, Mineral, Mushroom, and Tobacco.

Step 6: Place Your Order and Plan for Production Time 

Once your selections are finalized — style, fabric, color, and size — the final step is placing your Custom Order with Amity Home. Because every piece in the Special Order collection is custom-made, production time is estimated at 8 weeks from the date of order placement. 

This timeline reflects the handcraft involved in producing each quilt, duvet, or matelasse coverlet to the exacting standards the collection demands. It is worth noting that all special orders are final sale — no exchanges or refunds — and orders cannot be canceled or modified once placed. 

This is simply the nature of made-to-order production: each piece is built specifically for you, from the first cut of fabric to the final stitch of the border. Planning ahead is therefore essential. 

If you are working toward a room refresh, a seasonal update, or a gift for someone whose home you want to honor, build the 8-week production window into your timeline from the start.

The Result: 

Bedding “That Is Truly Yours”. The experience of sleeping under a quilt that was made to your specifications — in the color you chose, in the fabric that feels exactly right, in the style that reflects how you live — is.
