A good night’s rest is very important for our daily routine as it can reduce stress and improve appetite and mood. Ensuring quality sleep begins by surrounding ourselves with a healthy and comfortable environment, so take a good look at your bedroom before we continue. Does it give you a restful feeling?
The bedroom is one of the most personal spaces in a home, the place where your days begin and end, and turning it into your personal retreat where you can unwind from everyday stress and worries is a priority. And sometimes all it takes is just a simple decor trick like choosing the right bedroom bedding sets.
They are the final touch to your bedroom look and define the overall feeling of the room. The feel that you’re comfortable with is unique to you, so don’t be afraid to experiment with colour and texture and create a new and exciting atmosphere that gives your bedroom the look you’ve always dreamed of. If you’re not sure where to begin, here are a few tips.
Make Your Bed the Focal Point of the Room: Choose the Right Bedding Materials and Colours
The cosy and relaxing feel of fresh and clean bedding has a huge impact on sleep quality and how much you’re able to relax in your bed. For that reason, it’s always a good idea to buy bedroom bedding sets that match your personal style and are crafted with comfort and durability in mind.
Material
When selecting bedroom sets, the materials and fabrics are crucial for the comfort level they offer, durability and care requirements. They can be made of natural fibres, man-made fibres or a blend of both.
Natural fibres such as cotton, silk and wool are highly absorbent and responsive to changes in humidity and temperature, offering ultimate night’s sleep comfort. Cotton is the most widely chosen material for bedding thanks to softness and breathability.
The man-made fibres, on the other hand, usually have viscose or rayon as their main materials. They’re durable, soft and absorbent and can be dyed with more vibrant colours. Bedding sets with blended materials are a combination of two or more different fibres and offer the desired and required qualities of all.
Each material has different advantages and disadvantages. If you prefer crisp and smooth bedding, go with bedding solutions that are made of percale and if you like a silky smooth and soft feel, then opt for cotton-sateen bedding. Cotton flannel bed linens are a great choice if you’re looking for bedding that will keep you cosy and warm. In the end, it’s essential to make your comfort a top priority without compromising quality.
Colour
The colour is the first thing that draws the eye to a sheet set. The bed usually takes the most space in the room and the bedding you choose can easily transform the overall look. Consider the colour of your bedroom, whether it’s darker-toned or on the lighter side of the colour spectrum. If it’s dark through lack of natural light or due to decor, white or any light-coloured bedding can make it feel brighter by creating an airy sensation all over the room.
Choosing black or any other dark-coloured bedding set is a great solution if you want to make a bold stylish statement and add an elegant, sophisticated touch to your night’s rest environment.
Whatever you choose, remember that plain doesn’t necessarily mean boring. Instead, it allows you to let your creativity shine, mix and match until you get the desired look. Bedding in solid colours is simple and elegant and gives the bedroom a trendy, chic look and can help you create a relaxing space where you can wind down after a busy day.
To create a cosy and stylish bedroom with solid colours, choose your main colour and layer it with lighter and darker shades of the same colour to avoid ending up with a dull-looking bed. Patterned bedding is a great option for creating a modern bedroom look by picking up an accent colour for the room and featuring small doses of it all over the place without overwhelming it. Choosing a complete bedding set is an easy and effective way to outfit your bed.
However, don’t forget to consider the size of the room when choosing your bedding colours. Light colours can make any room appear more spacious while darker colours can easily make it appear a bit smaller, but cosier. So, if you’re working with a small bedroom, it might be a good idea to stay away from dark-coloured bed sheets but welcome them in an expansive room where they can create a more intimate atmosphere.
Size
Bed sets are not one-size-fits-all all and to select the perfect fit you need to be aware of the size of your bed first. You don’t want to choose a set that’s too small, but buying a bigger set and thinking it will do is not a good idea. It will cover the whole bed, but it will look off and will not give the smooth effect of a bedding set that fits just right.
Take Care of Your Bedding the Right Way
Proper care and maintenance of your bed sheets is crucial for ensuring hygiene and extending their lifespan. Consider your daily rituals as well, so if you have a white dog or cat, that often likes to lounge on your bed, avoid dark-coloured bedding. If you enjoy breakfast in bed, then light colours are not a great idea in case of spilled coffee or a jam stain.
