I love the colors and the quality of this set.  However, the only design you have on the comforter itself is what you see at the end of the bed.  Because I have a foot board on our bed, most of the design is hidden.  The pillows do a nice job of filling up the blank space on the comforter.  I was able to match the light blue leaf color in curtains which brought color in the room and tied it altogether.
