Some Tips For Buying A New Bedding Set
February 15, 2010
Our bedroom is not just where we sleep, it is our sanctuary, our oasis, our escape from the outside world. It is where we go to truly relax and unwind. We also spend about a third of our lives in our bedroom. So decorating this room in a way that makes it somewhere we love to spend time should be a priority. And what is the most important aspect of decorating your bedroom? The bed of course! Picking out the bedding ensemble for your room is the first and most essential step in decorating your bedroom.
You’ll need to consider three main variables when selecting your bedding quilts. First, consider the style of bedding quilts 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.
To begin with, choose sheets, duvets and comforters that are of the best quality you can afford. You won’t regret this as higher quality bedding quilts are more durable, comfortable, and well, they just tend to look nicer. Look for fabrics like silk, linen or high thread count Egyptian cotton for the most luxurious night’s sleep ever.
Color is obviously very important as far as the look of your bedding quilts goes. Think about how you want to feel when you are in your bedroom. Soft pinks have a lovely romantic feel to them. Pale greens and blues can have a relaxing effect in your bedroom. And a bold color combination with lots of contrast, such as black, white and red can make for a very exiting room that you’ll love to be in.
Be careful, however, when choosing your bedding quilts 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 a coastal theme or even a combination of solid colors are more your thing. The theme you choose for your bedding quilts will really make it your own.
Another great way to highlight your bedding quilts 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.
Updating your bedding sets is one of the easiet ways to create a whole new look for your home decor. Make sure that you choose a bedding quilts set that you truly love as you will be spending many, many nights enjoying it.
