Layering bedding adds a touch of color and texture with a hint of sophistication and personality to any bedroom. Did you know that you can layer bedding and design it in accordance to the season?
Layering bedding can sometimes sound like a tedious and impossible task, which only designers and professionals can do. However, there are some easy ways you can recreate those beautiful and elegant looking bedrooms in magazines without breaking the bank.
According to About Home, instead of purchasing a set of coordinating bedding, which includes layers of sheets, blankets, duvets, quilts and throws, one can start layering with white sheets.
Changing the 'theme' of your bedding per season will also be easier said than done when you have a blank slate of white sheets to start from. From here, you can mix and match with different colors and patterns depending on the season.
Stonegable advised that ironing the bottom layer (fitted sheet) is not really necessary, but the outlet suggested on spraying the bottom sheet with your favorite scent. The top sheet then comes next and it's always best to put the flat sheet with the wrong side up.
In summer, you can layer your bedding with the warm colors of the sand and the beach when choosing which quilt or bedspread to use. In autumn, you can also go for thicker blankets in earthy taupe, goldenrod and creamy ivory colors.
Pillows can also add a touch of color and pattern to your beddings as long as you choose the right color. For instance, you can choose two standard white pillows, which are then fronted by a bolster with a different color or shade and pattern.
If you would like to add a warm duvet during the winter months, you can go for a less bold color for the quilt and go for a darker color for the duvet. If your duvet has large prints, you should opt for smaller prints in your accent pillows.
Nothing speaks about comfort than an inviting look of a well-made bed. Of course, while you're going for design, it's also important to take note of comfort and quality.
