How to Coordinate Your Bedding?

Bedding brings charm to the bedroom while providing the comfort needed for a good night's sleep. Harmonizing this linen with the bedroom decor will give it a warm feel. Here are a few tips on how to choose the right colors.

Choose neutral tones

If your bedroom has a rather busy decor, it is best to opt for a duvet cover in neutral shades. This will add a touch of elegance to your bed. You can mix different shades of the same color, such as a fitted sheet and light gray pillowcases paired with a charcoal gray bedding set. If the look seems too dull, add pillowcases in a warm color.

To promote optimal sleep, choose a soothing and light shade. Pastel colors, such as dusty rose or sky blue, immediately create a cozy atmosphere. A bedroom with Scandinavian style is characterized by a harmonious and restful color palette.

Match the wall color

A monochrome color scheme is ideal for resting areas. For a wall painted blue, opt for a duvet cover one or two shades lighter, and complete it with textiles, rugs, curtains, or a throw blanket in even brighter shades. Don't hesitate to mix textures for a more sophisticated effect.

Opposing colors enhance each other, especially when they are very dark. If your wall is painted in a vibrant or dark color, such as almond green or navy blue, you can choose taupe or off-white bedding to create a certain depth. Be careful, as white walls can give a cold impression.

Colors that pair well together:

• Blue with beige, mustard yellow, pink, and eggplant.
• Green with gray, brown, and yellow.
• Pink with burgundy, gray, blue, and white.
• Purple with turquoise, yellow, pink, and mauve.
• Yellow with green, blue, and gray.
  
  

Match the accessories

Once your bedding is chosen, add accessories to perfect the look. Curtains, rugs, and floor cushions are important elements to consider for coordinating your bedroom. Try to choose accessories that complement the colors and textures of your home linens.

Play with materials

Do not forget the importance of materials in adding depth to your bedding. Choose cushions and throws with different textures to bring comfort to your bedroom.

Cotton bedding transforms the bedroom into a cocoon of softness. Cotton satin offers a silky appearance on one side and a matte finish on the other, with a supple and incredibly soft texture. A fitted sheet or flat sheet in cotton percale will give the bedroom a very chic look. Easy to maintain and very comfortable, washed linen will add charm to the bedroom.

Faux fur bedspreads, thick quilts, and textured linen sheets are all great options to enhance your bed. A cotton gauze duvet cover, with its raw but chic look, gives the bedroom a retro feel.

Slightly wrinkled cotton gauze fitted sheets are perfect for a bohemian-style decor. Washed linen pillowcases are ideal for adding elegance and authenticity to the bedroom.

Opt for original patterns

Patterned bedding can be a good option in a bedroom with neutral tones and understated furniture. However, it tends to go out of style faster than solid colors. Consider using just one piece with colorful patterns. A classic floral duvet cover goes perfectly with a chic country or English cottage vibe. Japanese patterns are very popular and suit a zen bedroom. 

Duvet covers with tropical and jungle patterns create a soothing and exotic cocoon. A Scandinavian duvet cover, with its pastel colors and geometric patterns, creates a cozy atmosphere. For a more ethnic style, a bohemian-inspired duvet cover has everything to please.

Colors to avoid in the bedroom

Avoid red and orange colors, as they are too energetic and do not promote sleep. Bright yellow is also too stimulating and does not facilitate rest. Dark gray tends to make the room feel smaller and blocks light. Dark brown, on the other hand, darkens the bedroom. If you love these colors, use them in small touches, such as on a cushion, a quilt, or a decorative accessory.
