This was a great purchase for our new bedroom remodel. Our walls are a deep blue gray and I didn't want a plain white duvet cover. The gray leaf motif (perhaps a little lighter than pictured) was the perfect touch to make it visually interesting, but not compete with the shades (our bedroom is very narrow). The material is very soft and it's easy to pull onto to the comforter (this has not always been the case for other duvet covers I've had). It's also neither too feminine or masculine which works well since it's a shared space. Overall this was an excellent choice!
