I am a bold rich color person but felt I wanted a bedroom that emitted a sense of peace and tranquility. It does exactly that with soft colors of lavender, taupe and off white. Looks especially rich with my dark walnut wood frame.. Light weight is perfect for hot, humid summer months but not too light that you couldn't use it in winter. The fabric breathes unlike polyester. I always review before I purchase and don't take the time to review an item. But this lovely spread is review worthy. I bought a king size for my queen bed to have the extra width and am glad I did.
