Unbelievably, styling patterned bedding is simple. There are
numerous methods to add fun patterns to your bedding decor, from nautical
stripes and flannelette duvet sets to beautiful florals. Discover
how to style bedding by reading on for advice on achieving the perfect balance,
combining colours, and selecting patterned bedding.
1. Select The Main Pattern
To guarantee that your sleeping arrangement appears coherent
when using patterned bedding, it's a good idea to strike an equilibrium between
prints and solids. Selecting your main pattern is essential for successful
combination and match. Usually, the largest, boldest, or most colourful pattern
is the main motif. A sizable piece of linen, like your sheet set or duvet
cover, or a coverlet you have folded at the foot of your bed might act as the
main design. This pattern can help you identify other patterns with
complementary colours.
2. Select Auxiliary Prints
After deciding on your main pattern, you'll need to select
supplementary patterns which go nicely with it and enhance the entire bedding
scheme. A complete set of sheets, a cosy throw at the foot of the bed, or a
couple of throw pillows are easy ways to include a supporting design. For
instance, the above photo's striped duvet cover serves as the main pattern and
is ideal for creating a mound of patterned throw pillows.
3. Discover Balance
If you'd prefer to match rather than combine, pair your main
pattern with bedding in solid colours which complement the hues in the
patterned item. As a result, the patterned bedding appears to be the main
attraction.
We adore how the soft pink throw and comfortable white
comforter in the above picture are unified by the delicate geometric pattern on
the sheets. Additionally, changing up your bedroom's sheet sets is a simple
method to update its appearance.
4. Consider Size
Working with proportions is key to understanding how to
style bedding, particularly patterned bedding. It is advisable to select
designs with varying sizes to avoid pattern clashing, whether you are dealing
with two patterns from the same family or two completely different designs. The
two are distinguished from one another and the pairing is visually pleasing by
using an array of small and large prints.
5. Try With Various Textures
When working with an array of diverse colours and patterns,
texturing may prove very important. Try experimenting with textures which
depend on the appearance of patterns, like an embroidered pillow sham set or a
quilt with diamond stitches. We adore how the white channel-stitch quilt in the
upper picture gives the patterned throw a counterbalance with its crisp,
stripe-like lines.
6. Begin Small
Not yet ready to experiment with striking patterns? Instead,
look for little ways to add your favourite prints, such as a set of patterned
pillowcases which may peep out from underneath a pair of pillow shams or
patterned throw pillows to liven up your neutral bedding. The small amount of
pattern will undoubtedly create visual appeal, and it may even encourage you to
add extra patterned bedding to your bedroom.
7. Reversible Sheets For Duvets
Purchasing a reversible duvet cover makes sense if you enjoy
changing up your style frequently or if you're a fan of prints. Whenever the
duvet cover is turned down, it offers a lovely extra element to a bed in
addition to giving two options for design.
But it's not just about striking designs and shapes that
block colour. A reversible duvet cover is nevertheless useful if you're going
for a white-on-white luxury hotel design. Just keep it simple by keeping it
with stripes or polka dots and a plain neutral on the reverse.
Bonus Tips:
Establish Contrast
It does not have to be difficult to mix prints! Selecting a
design with rounded forms and one featuring straight lines can help eliminate
mismatched designs. Consider polka dots and plaid, abstract and geometric
designs, or stripes and flowers (like in the upper image). Your bedding has an
additional dimension of thoughtfulness from the whimsical juxtaposition of the
two sorts of patterns.
Have Fun With Texture
Lastly, the contrast in texture enhances the beauty of
unexpected pairings. It's a certain method to accentuate visual depth and
convey the atmosphere of your space. For instance, a clear, clean duvet gets a
playful, frilly touch from a pom pom accent. The thickness and stitching of a
fabric may add to its texture.
Flip The Arrangements
A diverse range of patterns in various sizes, shapes, and
styles is a further approach to maintaining a visually appealing combination.
Stripes' linear pattern works nicely with almost any print, whether it is
floral, leopard, or tribal.
Final Words
Your bedroom may be made into a comfortable and
aesthetically pleasing sanctuary with some of these easy styling
recommendations for patterned bedding. A beautiful and welcoming space which
reflects your taste and personality may be made by combining and contrasting
patterns, harmonising colours, and adding creative accessories. Therefore, to
create a lovely and cohesive bedroom design, don't be scared of trying new
things while having fun with your bedding choices.
