An IKEA quilt cover is a protective and decorative bedding cover designed to encase a quilt (also called a doona in Australia), keeping it clean while adding style to your bedroom. In simple terms, it’s the outer layer that makes your bedding look inviting and reflects your personal aesthetic. Here’s why this matters: a quilt cover not only enhances comfort but also transforms the visual appeal of your sleep space — every night feels more luxurious with the right design.
The main reason Australians love IKEA quilt covers is the combination of affordable pricing, a wide range of styles, and practical features (like easy‑care fabrics and reversible designs).
IKEA offers an extensive variety of quilt covers to suit different interiors, climates and lifestyles across Australia. While specific ranges change with seasonal releases, the core types and styles include:
Breathable and comfortable
Great for year‑round use
Easy to wash and maintain
Crisp, cool feel

Selecting the right quilt cover involves fabric, size, colour and feel — here’s a step‑by‑step guide to help you decide:

Make sure your quilt and cover match to avoid bunching.

Here’s what’s trending in quilt covers and bedroom styling across Australian homes in 2025.
Soft earthy tones — sand, cream, dove grey — for a calm, restful bedroom.
Woven finishes and tactile surfaces add depth and comfort.
Stripes, subtle geometrics and simple repeats that compliment Scandi and Japandi interiors.
Two‑in‑one quilt covers for seasonal versatility and value.
Mixing quilt covers with throws, cushions and runners for a designer look.
The main reason these trends are popular is that they suit both calm everyday living and elevated guest‑ready bedrooms — versatile style you won’t tire of.
Great bedding is about layers, texture and balance. Here’s how to style your IKEA quilt cover like an interior pro:
Start with a base layer: neutral fitted sheet that anchors the colour story.
Introduce texture: throws or blankets at the foot of the bed.
Mix cushion sizes: European squares + lumbar shapes = designer look.
Coordinate metals: bedside lamps or décor that tie into your quilt cover palette.
Use colour blocking: choose one strong accent colour (like terracotta or deep blue) and repeat it across cushions, throws and small décor pieces. This creates cohesion and visual interest.
In simple terms, styling is about texture, balance and contrast, which turns everyday bedding into a cohesive sanctuary.
