I love this set. I got it for our spare bedroom which we use as a guest room/extra storage room. Since it's a multi purpose room, this is neutral enough and fits perfect. The comforter itself is so smooth and soft as are the shams that come with it, I'm a stickler for using matching sheets and with all the colors in this pattern, everyone has to have a set of matching sheets at home. The throw pillow it comes with just ties everything together and brings it a step above extra place to sleep to feeling homey. Note, the back of the comforter is a solid cream color.
