Bedding Is Fashion For The Bed
By Beverly Marshall, Fri Dec 9th
Ladies, we spend a lot of time in the morning getting ready forthe day. We take showers, put on makeup, blow dry our hair andput on just the right outfit we feel good in. Then we top it offwith the hot colors of accessories from sunglasses to sandals -the details of what we wear matters in how we look and feel.Maybe it shouldn’t be that way, but it is. You can think of yourbedding as fashion for the bedroom because you dress your bedjust as clothing and accessories dress your body. The littledetails we put in our bedrooms such as vintage rag rugs, beadedlampshades, hand crocheted pillowcases or satin sheets will makeall the difference of how we feel as we spend time in ourbedrooms. A bedroom is a place to feel safe, comfortable and cocooned aswe sleep at night. I like the bedroom to be an expression of whoI am as well as that of my husband. I don’t want it to be allcabbage rose, salmon pink and lace because that doesn’t make myhusband feel too comfortable. He isn’t exactly the cabbage rosetype. However, it also doesn’t have to be golfing, fishing andrustic log furniture either. We can compromise on a majesticleaf pattern with just a small floral touch. I use deeper colorsof blue and green mixed with a sophisticated plaid and stripefor the bed linen. I love to mix all the patterns together andit turns out great. If you have never done that before you mightfind it a little tricky, but you will be okay if you stick tothe same hue in the same color families. We live in the northwoods so our colors are stronger, rustic and outdoors. There isa nice blend and flow throughout the home. Doesn’t it make senseto begin with colors inside that reflect the great outdoors,striking a balance between the two? I am surrounded by pinetrees and a beautiful lake. I feel serene and happy when I takethose same colors and make a beautiful room to spend my privatetime. Take a cue from the great outdoors If you are confused aboutwhere to begin when it comes to decorating the bedroom or otherparts of the house, take a cue from the outdoors. Stand at oneof the windows from inside a room and look out. What do you seehappening in your backyard? Do you have a blue swimming pool oris your garden filled with yellow marigolds? Does your lawn looklike green velvet or do you have earthy shades from rocks andstone? Do you love the cold strength of black wrought iron patiofurniture or do you prefer bold awning stripes? You can begin toget the idea of how the inside can reflect the outdoors or viseversa.
You want your whole family to feel as comfortable in theirbedrooms as you do. If you pay attention to details of bedlinens, color, furnishings and small personal touches for yourkid’s rooms, they will feel like they are special, and they mayeven clean the

room a little more often. For example, yourbaby’s bedding could look cute and cuddly, the colors andpatterns for kids can be bright, fun and whimsical. It doesn’tmatter what size of mattress you or your kids have, themattresses must all afford comfort. The goal of every bedroom isto have linens that are beautiful, easy to take care of, andmattresses that are comfortable to sleep on. If the room isdressed right, you will feel good while you are in it. You mightconsider just adding a duvet cover for a quick change over thetired comforter. I have taken old fitted sheets that were wornand placed them on the windows for an instant dramatic valance.Be creative when it comes to your personal style and get thekids involved. You don’t have to be extremely crafty to just getsome fabric paint and let them design their own sheets. Isn’t itkind of boring to always buy what is shown to you in catalogs orretail stores? Place a table you had in the living room at yourbedside and put a family quilt on it. Use solid velvet throwpillows that you haven’t had out in a while and add a fewbaubles to them or stitch a lace handkerchief to the top. Take what you already own and just put it somewhere else in anew way. Divide all of your little collectibles into piles bycolor. Never prejudge something that you think is strictly forthe kitchen, or just for a bathroom. If you look at the smallknickknacks with fresh eyes you might be surprised at how warm aroom can be just by using the play of color. I love using thingsin an unexpected way. Don’t limit these ideas to the bedroom.Your whole house can be spruced up with a quick change by justmoving around the pieces you already own. Another trick is tokeep the small items all together in one spot. Don’t try tospread the small things out to cover space. You will make muchmore of a statement if you keep them together because there isstrength in numbers. Know your priorities before you buy Do youprefer your bedding to be 450 thread count Egyptian cotton, oran easy no fuss fiber blend? Do the mattresses need to have athick 100% cotton mattress pad? Are you looking for the mosthigh tech mattress on the market? Do you want the baby’s beddingto be the softest available or is the cute factor moreimportant? Do you want to be surrounded by fancy luxury orcasual chic? Have a good idea of what you are looking for beforeyou start making buying decisions. You are dressing yourbedrooms in fashion just as you would your body. Don’t be afraidto experiment a little, and use the things you already own for afresh look.
