I can understand if you can’t find something you really like in an accessory pillow, but have you tried looking at your local fabric store for fabrics that fit the description? It’s easy to make pillow covers that slip over the ones you already have to change things up for the seasons. You may need to bring in another color, like a brown or navy or maybe a dark green or burgundy to get the blues and taupes that you want in a patterned fabric. This extra deep color might be nice for the winter months and it will open up your eyes to other accessories that might help the transition of seasons as well. As for the bedskirt, I think the cream is best with both. Let me know if you find a fabric for making your own pillows.

I like blue in my BR. I have a Dennis Basso coverlet set in blue that I use in the summer. It doesn’t come with a bedskirt so I added a cream bedskirt and the throw pillows are blue and cream. Now. for winter I’d love to use a taupe coverlet set I have in that room with blue..How do I tie a taupe coverlet and bedskirt to blue. I can’t find blue and beige pillows to bring both colors together..also would it be better to put a blue bedskirt for both..am I making sense cause I have hit a ‘wall’ so to speak..Thanks for all your years of great ideas.
