A bed is a retreat of respite but it should also look stylish and put-together. The best bedding decor ideas create a balance of color, pattern and texture that is easy on the eye and will help you relax at the end of a long day. Use colors that are in the same family to create a cohesive look, like neutrals and beiges, or mix them up with varying shades of the same hue. The contrasting textures of knit blankets, fringe, and decorative pillows add interest to the ensemble. For a luxe look, choose a duvet cover with aesthetic borders that will add dimension to the fabric.
If you’re a fan of bold contrasts, try mixing up the sizes of your pillow shams and accent pillows for a truly layered bedding idea. Pairing a quilt with contrasting colors and patterns is another way to infuse a pop of personality into the room. For example, designer Vern Vip incorporated greek key and tiger motifs into the duvet and accent pillows of this maximalist bedroom.
If you’re looking for an elegant bedding style, stick with a monochromatic color scheme. In this greige bedroom, the bedding echoes the hue of the wood plank floors and matching area rug for a cohesive room design. In this country-style bedroom, a floral quilt adds a touch of softness to the white sheets and duvet. The patterned accent pillows and sheet set coordinate with the quilt’s dainty edges. The black large euro shams help ground the varying patterns and colors.
