Update Your Bedroom With Luxury Bedding by :
Sue Ticotin
Once reserved for royalty or the very rich, luxury bedding is one
of those delightful pleasures in life that is progressively becoming a
must-have. We've all seen the rise of popularity with Egyptian cotton
sheets over the years and now it seems that luxury bedding is one of
those items that people just can't imagine being without. Each year
manufacturers are showing up at the home textile shows to display new
collections. Although some trends in color or design appear, it's the
classics or soon to be classics that survive. Today's consumer wants
bedding that is comfortable, classic, durable, and will withstand the
changes in trends. Neutral colors and delicate embroidery in high
thread count sheeting is in high demand. Silk, linen, and Egyptian
cotton fabrics are top choices for bedding fabrics that are extremely
soft and beautiful.
Adding to or changing your luxury bedding is a great way to change the
look of your room without changing everything. It's much easier to
change your look if you start with neutrals. Use neutral colors such
as white, ivory, taupe, or green and soft details when selecting
sheets and bed skirts. We are no longer limited by choices. Most
manufacturers offer the same color palette for coordinating
collections that can be mixed and matched. If you don't find exactly
what you want, most manufacturers will customize your bedding so you
can get the best fit and colors of your choosing. Just remember that
anything that is special ordered or custom made requires on average a
6-week wait, but it is worth it.
Not everything has to match. Select different pieces for your duvet
cover and shams to instantly create a new look. Layering with
coverlets and throws is great way to add texture to the room. Many
manufacturers are starting to include these pieces in their bedding
collections. You also have the option of coordinating coverlets and
throws in the same colors, but different designs, textures, or weaves
for added appeal.
If you find a fabric or bedding design that appeals to you, you don't
have to purchase an entire ensemble. Keep your main bedding neutral
and purchase decorative pillows in your favorite fabrics to add a
touch of color or pattern for a different look or to change with the
seasons. This is a creative and easy way to showcase those fabrics you
love. Pillows can be purchased or custom made to your specifications
and style. Purchase several so they can be easily changed at whim.
If you have many pieces of furniture in the room, consider an
upholstered headboard in coordinating fabrics to freshen your decor
and soften the room. Adding pillows in the same fabric will complete
the look. Most luxury bedding manufacturers offer fabric by the yard
so that you can customize your window treatments and accessories.
Your bedroom is your retreat, so spice it up or add soothing elements
to please your senses. Don't necessarily follow trends. Instead,
follow your instincts and do what makes you happy and content.
