If you're bored - Bedding Shopping
The board could use some action & I could use some inspiration.
We're going to be moving overseas within the next year. And one of my "to buy" items before then is a new king-sized duvet cover. First requirement is that it must be machine washable (this is the big reason I want a new one to start with).
The second thing is that we could potentially have a very transient lifestyle for a few years. It looks like we'll be in Malaysia for a few months, then South Korea for a year, then who knows where. So we have very little control over the color of walls we will have, I assume probably white, but could be anything. So a versatile color palette is necessary.
Our furniture now is dark wood, but we're not sure that we'll bother taking it with us. It's a pretty bulky 4 poster bed, so I probably will get something that'll take up less room in our shipping container.
What would you pick if you had these requirements?

this is what i have now:

i've had it for years and it's pretty versatile. i change up accessorizing it with orange, green, brown, and/or yellow.
i also have this:

i use it with the yellow and green accessory stuff from the sakura bedding when i feel like i want to change stuff up
i really want this (for one of my guest rooms right now) but i'm waiting for it to go back on sale - it's not as versatile though:

I've had my eye on this one... It's colorful and fun. So many options of what to put with it.

I like that one a lot. I keep going back & forth between getting something like that with many colors or getting a solid white/neutral, like this one:

My birthday is in a few weeks & I was thinking about telling DH I want the new bedding as my present, but I can't decide on one.
