Choose Your Bedding Style

We can spend around one third of our lives in our bedroom. It is where we go to relax, read, watch TV and most of all, sleep! When decorating your bedroom, the biggest, most important focal point is, naturally, the bed. So it is essential that you take extra care when picking out your bedding collection.

You'll need to consider three main variables when selecting your bedding ensemble. First, consider the style of bedding you want to have. Second, what color scheme are you looking for? And third, the quality of the products that you choose will make a huge difference in the comfort of your new bed.

For starters, consider the quality of the products you wish to purchase. High quality bedding will last longer, look better and give you a true feeling of luxuriousness every time you sleep on them. Look for high thread counts when buying sheets in Egyptian cotton. Other luxury fabrics include linen, silk or soft flannel.

When it comes to creating a bedroom decor that is pleasing to the eye, color plays a very important part. Think about what kind of ambiance you want your room to have. Blues and light greens are generally very calm and relaxing. If you're looking for bold and exciting, go with red , orange or any colors that is bright and vivid. For a more modern look, a hot trend is combining black and white with just a punch of other color such as red or lime green. Neutral colors like tan or ivory can be mixed and matched with almost any accent colors for a warm, cozy feel.

Be careful, however, when choosing your bedding colors that they won't clash with the rest of your room, such as the carpet, paint or furniture. A bold red, white and black color scheme probably won't look natural on a country cottage 4 poster bed. If possible, see if you can take home a swatch of your favorite fabrics to see how they will look with your existing decor. If not, think about purchasing a small, inexpensive piece of the set, such as a pillow sham, to get an idea of how your room will look before investing in the whole set.

To best display your personality in your bedroom decor, choose a style that you really love. Do you want your room to have a rustic lodge feel? Are you passionate about shabby chic? Maybe coastal bedding or even a combination of solid colors are more your thing. The theme you choose for your bedding will really make it your own.

Another great way to highlight your bedding ensemble and inject your personal style is to purchase coordinating accent pieces. Throw pillows are a fantastic touch. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be purchased to match your comforter or quilt or to add some interesting contrast. European pillow shams, or euro shams, are 26 inches square and add height and contrast at the head of the bed.

Everyone wants their bedroom to be one of the most comfortable and inviting places in their house. Take special care when making decisions about your bedding as they will have a big impact on many nights to come. In the end, choose a bedding style that you love and you can't go wrong.
