Good Questions: Where Can I Find Red/Rust Bedding?

Dear AT,

Help! I am redoing my sister's bedroom and she wants it to be a reddish rust and creme/brown color. Sort of a Moroccan feel. I am looking for a modern bed covering that is red (not blood red, more rust red) I have looked everywhere online and I can't find a thing! I have thought about going to a fabric store but I have no sewing capabilities.

Any other suggestions would be great,

Shannon

Dear Shannon,

We found a few things online...some distinctively Moroccan styles, but also a simpler rust/cream set from Target (above, $14.99-$129.99). Of the more embellished, Moroccan and Indian styles, check out this Moroccan Foulard tapestry (right, $19.99) which can be used as a bedspread. We also found this more Indian-inspired Sitara bed spread from Berber Trading (below, $224). The colors here seem to just miss the mark, but the Target line may be more of the color you're going for (minus the Moroccan inspiration).

Anyone else have ideas?

Hi Shannon,
The Kenya print duvet cover from West Elm has that African modern vibe. One of the Color Contest entries has the duvet and I thought it looked nice last time I popped into the store. It isn't rust, but has cream and brown in it like you mentioned. If you don't find a rust colored bed covering that you like, this might be a nice alternative. You could add rust accent pillows and maybe a rust colored throw across the foot of the bed.

Try www.tribalmonsoon.com, Spiegel.com, MoroccanCaravan.com, lnt.com and Target has something new called Alhambra bedding collection.

Also, check ebay for such.

I was looking for that color too and found that Crate and Barrel has a few lovely sets.

Check out the TANJA BRODYR duvet covers at Ikea. I have the dark red one and love it.

Check out Garnet Hill. I got some rockin' red jersey sheets from them. They usually have uber nice bedding in a full range of colors and patterns. They've got several sets of sheets which feature a dark red. One should fit the bill.
