Bedrooms are used today for more than just sleeping. It’s a quiet retreat where we can curl up with a good book, look through magazines, work, watch television, or simply have fun, playing and spending time with family. Bedroom décor and all that’s within can and does affect our mood. Quality fabrics, rich colors, textures and softness provide us with a comfortable place where we can peacefully sleep and wake up refreshed.

In order to achieve the perfect bedroom important elements need to be considered; such as creating a bedroom that feels as good as it looks, knowing what style we want to accomplish, taking into account what activities will take place, and of course one’s budget.

Taking time to think about colors that make you feel good and complements other furniture in the bedroom should be a prerequisite to purchasing designer bedding. Keeping an open mind on the use of color often times has a pleasant ending. While you may dislike green using it in subtle shades or hues can enhance the other furnishings in your room and pull the look together. Flores, stripes and checks with greens, tans and burgundy will give a country feel, while various shades of blue, white and other soft colors merged with large print floras and stripes will give your bedroom a seaside touch. Bold colors and geometric shapes are a good choice for a modern flair while clean lines create a contemporary theme.

For couples, decorating a bedroom together can be a major issue, she wants something with flowers and he wants a solid bedspread, after all it’s just a bed, a place to sleep. In order for this to work, compromises need to be made to help ensure both individual style choices interconnect seamlessly. Start by deciding on a color palette that is suitable for both. Once this issue has been resolved consider using a duvet with a simple pattern, add a Matelasse Coverlet, often a solid colored tone-on-tone cover with texture. To satisfy her desires pull the look together by using decorative pillows in various sizes, shapes, fabric prints and textures, after all…it’s the attention to detail and all the decorative touches that matter most.

A Simple Explanation of Thread Count

One of the biggest mistakes people make when purchasing luxury bedding and linens is buying solely on thread count. However, what you may not understand about thread count may lead to disappointment. So what exactly is thread count? Thread count is simply how many threads (warp) lengthwise and (weft) widthwise are woven into one square inch. While many retailers advertise high thread count linens at wonderful prices your expectations may not be met when the softness and quality are not found. A thread count of 200 can be a better purchase over a 600 count when quality grade fabrics, a better finishing process and a low weave count is used (one thread woven over one thread is better than two threads woven over two threads). Not only will the linens have a softer feel they will also last longer making you a happy consumer.

Some people consider the feel of silk sheets to be the ultimate in luxury. The natural fiber against the skin gives a sensation of elegance like no other. Silk sheets as a item of luxury bedding needs about the same level of care you provide your silk blouses and scarves. It’s definitely not something to throw in the regular cycle of the washing machine with hot water.

Silk sheet sets come in a variety of colors and weights and are often sold as part of complete bedding set including sheets, comforter, pillow cases, shams and perhaps even a dust ruffle. Other silk sheet sets are more tailored in appearance, relying on color and feel to set the tone of the luxury bedding.

Other people choose luxury bedding of Egyptian cotton in Italian designed linens. The heavy cotton sometimes relies on woven patterns in the fabric to add texture and richness. These may take the form of stripes of regular and satiny texture in a white on white pattern for example. The warmth and durability of the quality Egyptian cotton means you can have luxury that wears well and can stand laundering without special handling.

At a minimum luxury bedding will have a high thread count. Ordinary bedding will have a thread count of 180 to 200. Luxury bedding might have a thread count of over 1200. Obviously the higher the thread count, the more luxurious the look and feel of the sheets.

Luxury bedding for many people is satin sheets, They claim to sleep better because when turning or moving on these sheets, they don’t pull at the clothing and skin as some of the regular bedding does. The drawback to some satin sheets is that they require more care when laundering than do cotton bedding.

Part of the enjoyment of luxury bedding is the wide range of colors available now. You can find bedding sets in almost any color you can imagine from neon to white and with flowers, stripes or solid colors. Theme bedding is available if you want a bit of whimsy with your luxury.

Another example would be a simple matter of the elastic that comes on fitted sheets. The better ones will have elastic all the way around the edges, not just on two sides. This insures that your sheet won’t pop off the corner of the bed while you’re sleeping. I personally hate waking up tangled-up like that! lol

Solid light neutral tone sheets and pillow shams in 210 thread count provide lasting night time comfort. A 100% polyester bed skirt in a solid brown earth tone completes this set to perfection. Of course, you’ll want to dry clean the comforter and bed skirt.

The sheets and pillow shams are machine washable. Beautiful enough for the most elegant bedroom, this easy to love bag bed set is just unique and easy to live in.

Burlington House Luxury Bed in a Bag Set in their Tuscany design is a fabulous set in shades of greens and ivory. The set includes 220 thread count cotton sheets and pillowcases.

A bed in a bag set includes sheet, pillow cases, a comforter, shams, and skirts for adult beds. Bed sets for the baby is the same way. If you are looking to have your bedding co-ordinate the theme of your nursery then purchase sets. You can purchase single sheets so that you can mix and match your bedding.

When you are shopping for be aware that the bedding will be separated by fabric, colors, and styles. Your preferences will no doubt influence your purchase. Do you want cotton, flannel, fleece, or silk? Many parents prefer the cotton or flannel fabric because they are less expensive than silk sheets and are easier to clean.

The advantages to buying your bedding in sets is that everything already matches. You won’t be mixing fabrics, colors, or themes. With everything in one bag you can actually change the atmosphere of the room buy the bedding sets you purchase.

It is important that you match your bedding with the gender of your child. You wouldn’t want to, for example, saturate your son’s room in pink. In a girl’s room however, it is ok to put blue. Most manufacturers are knowledgeable about current thinking regarding gender and what is believed to be acceptable or not. They tend to know what customers want. You most likely won’t have any trouble finding what you want.

Generally accepted themes for boys rooms include airplanes, trucks, or fire engines. Sports is another theme to look for boys. They are generally designed in bright colors - reds, blues, greens, and oranges.

Themes for girls could include ballerinas, faeries, Barbie, princess, butterflies, or flowers. Girl’s bedding generally comes in softer colors such as pink, yellow, mauve, blue, and teal among others. Girl’s rooms themes are not limited to the above mentioned themes.

Non-gender specific themes for bedding include animals, the solar system, favorite characters such as Barney, the Smurfs, Jimmy Neutron, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and others.

You also have the option of having your crib bedding custom made. There is a chance that you might not find just the right pattern you are looking for. If this is the case you can have someone make you bedding with your exact pattern. If you sew you can create your own bedding sets for your baby. There are even materials in gold and silver to use for your child’s bedding so they can sleep in the lap of luxury.

Crib bedding doesn’t refer to sheets only. You can get bed in a bag as mentioned earlier. You will find a sheet, a baby blanket, and a baby quilt in most sets. If you prefer to buy separate pieces you can still do that. Most stores have single pieces as well as bedding sets.

As you can see buying bedding for you baby can be a challenging task.

Keep your budget in mind as well as your preferences. You can create a theme in your baby’s room with the types of bedding you use. You can use character bedding but know that kids often outgrow certain characters and as your child grows you will likely have to change your themes.

A popular method nowadays is to decorate a room according to a theme; haphazard décor displays just doesn’t cut it anymore. For example, you can choose to go the modern route with steel, glass and leather or an Eastern-inspired theme complete with a divan and mirrored bedspreads. However, one the most popular choices among home decorators remains the tried and true theme of a rustic lodge or cabin.

Rustic-inspired furnishings usually feature warm colors and tend towards practicality and comfort. You can co-ordinate your whole bedroom with appropriate rustic bedding accessories, matching drapes, carpets, lighting fixtures and bathroom accessories. One of the more distinctive features of a rustic bedding set is its colors and motifs. They usually come in warm colors like brick red, deep greens, oranges, blues and dark grays – all colors inspired from nature. The motifs are distinct in that they sport the themes of wildlife and the wild outdoors. They evoke the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere of a lodge or cabin.

Most rustic bedding sets are available in a wide variety of sizes and sheet combinations. A standard sheet set usually includes a top sheet along with a fitted bottom sheet and two pillowcases. It should be noted that in many cases only a single pillowcase is provided with the twin set of sheets. Rustic bedding sets come in all the standardized sizes – Twin, Full, Queen, King and CAL king. This makes it easier for you to choose a set according to your needs and you don’t have to worry about the bedding set being either too small or too large for your bed.

You generally have the choice of two types of fabric: flannel and percale. While flannel is made from 100% cotton fibers, percale is 30% cotton and 70% polyester. The pricing also differs for the two fabrics – on the whole the percale bedding sets are somewhat cheaper than flannel ones. Apart from the usual themes like woods, moose, bear, fishing etc., some companies also offer a ‘heritage’ bedding collection. These are classic designs for the more traditionally inclined.

Apart from the regular bedding sets you can also buy matching comforters (available in all the standard sizes), pillow shams and bed skirts. Some manufacturers also provide throw pillows and shower curtains to match your rustic bedding set. To complete the look of your room, you can even go so far as to use compatible window treatments. The drapes usually match the pattern of the comforter, and the headers, rod pocket and tiebacks complete the set. Blanket ensembles made from the finest fabrics are also an option if you’re looking to splurge. Heck, if you are so inclined, you could even invest in an heirloom quality handmade quilt with a rustic theme.

It is much easier to decorate a platform bed. If you like, use Oriental looking duvets, and comforters against a plain scheme to bring out the features. Regular Western patterns look great too. Some of the platform bed models extend up to the ground, so your bed skirts won’t work well with hiding stuff below (good for all, solution). Then there are some box models that look just great while offering you the ease of storage, those extra linen and pillow covers, sheets and blankets you keep wondering where to place.

One of the reasons for the growing popularity of platform beds is its casual looks and functionality. With the modern lifestyle, space has acquired new meaning and value, and the added utility plays a vital role in our lives. You can find some swish leather platform beds with storage room or box underneath that not just looks chic, but happens to also be quite functional and practical. Since these beds have a low- profile stature than most conventional beds, they don’t seem to occupy much space. It is also the minimal design that bestows platform beds with simplicity, making it easier to match up with existing décor, as also with building themes around your bedroom area.

Usually, the popular Oak and Maple hardwood is used for construction. As to which is best, it really depends on your choice of the grain and finish, as each of it has a special tone. There are metal platform beds too, made from rolled steel that are quite popular. You also get ready-made suites that take away all the burden of matching up a dresser, closet, nightstand or lamp. It seems like a worthwhile idea to invest in a suite and then do the other details like walls, rugs and décor. And the quality and harmony is all there.

Selecting a bedroom set can be one of the most rewarding exercises. It takes a bit of time to round up on possibilities within your bedroom area. But if you are sure about your likings, it becomes all the more effortless to pick out.

Factors to be considered while you purchase bedding

The most important factor to be considered in bedding is luxurious linen. Once you have a bed with gorgeous bedspreads crafted in luxurious polyester and embroidered with flowers and vines, lavish sequins and satin stitched leaves you can relax in its soothing touches. To give a typical Victorian touch to your home décor, you can get beddings with laces and ruffles and tiny rose garlands encircling the larger blooms in shades of pink and red across the bedspread.

For typical summer time you can use beddings made of ecru cotton bedspreads. The top is quilted in diamond designs with an assortment of multi-colored wildflowers sprinkled with crochet stitching. The pillow can have a center flower with garlands of light colored flowers embroidered all around. These varieties of bedspreads with attached flounced waves, linings and embroideries enhance the look of beauty and touch of warmth to your bedding. You should get bed linens with higher thread counts, as that will make them more soft and comfortable.

Right after the bed linens you should start thinking of other bedding accessories like the pillowcases, bed skirts, pillow shams and bed covers. The color and design of these bedding accessories should largely depend on the design of the bedstead and bed linens.

Children bedding style

Make beddings of your children different from that of your own style. You should make sure that the words “cute” and “sweet” define the bedding of your children. Try to get bedspreads with cartoon characters, pretty flowers, and caricature of children printed on them. They should be soft to touch and your child should feel absolutely comfortable in them. The beddings should also include comforters, top flat sheets, oilcloth, bottom fitted sheets, bed skirts, pillow shams and sweet pillowcases. You can get pillows in shape of cartoon characters, fishes, and teddy bears or birds to produce wonder in the eyes of your children.

Get comfortable and soft bedding to feel rejuvenated while you sleep.

When you are looking to create the perfect atmosphere for your son’s bedroom, it is important to keep his style and wants in mind (that is assuming that he is old enough to have an opinion). However even if you are communicating by using small grunts and coos, you will surely be able to give his room some flair in no time. I have assembled a few ideas for you to pull into your infant, toddler, or school aged boy’s bedroom; that should be fairly lenient on your budget as well. Keep in mind however, that these are mere suggestions; and can be changed or altered in any way to fit your personal style and wants for your son’s bedroom.

One of the most tried and true themes in a boy’s bedroom (or a girls for that matter) is a dinosaur theme room. Just think, nearly any little boy becomes fascinated with these old school beasts. It is quite easy to pull in the theme of when dinosaurs ruled the earth; into nearly any sized room. Whether It is the T-Rex or the brontosaurus that has captured your son’s imagination, or the thrill of the quest for bones and archeological digs. The dinosaurs often times offer a lot of potential in a theme for a boy’s bedroom. While you can get fairly elaborate, by using murals and accessories to create either an ancient jungle or primitive terrain, you may also be able to just bring some of that magical theme into your son’s bedding collection by purchasing a dinosaur theme bedding set. A theme quilt and a coordinating sheet set, are a great way to add a little punch into any plain old room; which will provide your boy with a portal into the long extinct realm of the dinosaurs.

However if that isn’t your son’s taste you may wish to bring in a little bit of the “top gun” theme into his room. Whichever you choose to call it top gun, fighter jets, pilots forever; once your son has the flying bug it is extremely hard to kick. So, for this reason you should just go with the flow, and help him to create a wonderful theme room that will help stimulate this hobby as well. IE: getting some airplane theme boys bedding , and teaching your son to build some model air planes. This will not only help him to create part of his accessories, but will allow him a creative outlet in this stressful world. You can spend hours with your son, building vintage fighter jets from most of today’s hobby and toy shops, which will later be seen as a strong bonding time. Another great way to pull in some extra theme throughout the room, is by getting your son a matching comforter and sheet set that captures the feel of the open air, while he nestles his head upon the clouds. Remember that you may also wish to pull in a fun theme kid’s area rug, that may also double as a play mat; along with theme cohesive lighting throughout the room.

Although it isn’t likely that many alternative families may participate in sports, that doesn’t mean that your son won’t be taken by this thought of rough play. Chances are that as a parent, your life is fairly busy, with all of the activities in which you allow your child to participate in. One of the most time consuming activities for parents to participate in is sports, despite the time and effort, sports have been known to help children get the exercise that they need, and the ability to develop life skills such as team work, healthy competitiveness, discipline, as well as responsibility. All and all sports can be a great thing, and most boys tend to love them. For this reason, pulling sports into your son’s room is a wonderful idea, from hockey, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, football etc the sky is the limit on what you can do. The most important part to all of this, is knowing what your child likes and wants. Remember it isn’t really you, that you are trying to please but your son. You will want to find the right items to pull this theme off, and to create a comfortable, and save environment that will help to stimulate your child’s imagination. Choose things that will grow with your child and have a higher chance of making it through your son’s rough play. Things such as a full sized sport theme bean bag, is one of the beast seating arrangements you can make; on this same note you should try to steer clear of any inflatable chairs until your son is older, and can understand that they are fragile.

As with any child’s bedroom, the comforter plays a massive role in a boy’s bedroom. It acts not only as a blanket to keep your child snug at night, but as a centerpiece for your child’s room decor. You should choose a comforter that is durable and functional, however you should also make sure that your boy enjoys the color and the style of the comforter you choose; trying to find one that can grow with his likes to keep from having to replace it yearly. If your son’s colors are red, white, and blue; you should try to consider a denim comforter or a red one, as one that may combine all three colors may get a bit monotonous. I would suggest allowing your child to decide upon the theme of his room, as long as he is old enough.

Ten HUT attention! March in line! Well, now that I have your attention, does your boy love his army toys? Or does he enjoy creating battles, and playing commando in the living room? It is important to support your son’s enthusiasm for the armed forces, by throwing a few camouflage splashes about his bedding. This is a wonderful way to highlight a camouflage or military theme bedroom for your little tike. You should consider taking a bed spread and matching accessories, to transform your child’s room into a field encampment for every day use. You can bring camouflage into nearly anything in the room, such as an area rug or some choice accessories; for a room that can last through the ages until one of the next fad hits the fashion scene.

Some parent’s tend to shy away from bed skirts in a boy’s room, while a white ruffled bed skirt may actually seem a bit off for your boy’s bedroom; bed skirts these days can be found in an array of colors and styles; that are a bit more at home in a boy’s world. You may wish to consider a striped or plaid bed skirt for your boy’s room, or you can throw things for a loop and try grabbing an army drab camouflage bed skirt that will help to update the theme in the room even more. Not only is selecting a fun pattern for your son’s bedding easy, but finding a bed skirt to match and give a whole new meaning to what is hiding under the bed, is still quite easy to find.

If this still isn’t your boy’s bag, then you may wish to try throwing in a little Kalahari dream into his room. Things such as elephants, lions, giraffes, and zebras; which so many boys are fascinated with. Will allow your child to go where the wild things dwell, even though a true safari may not be in your child’s near future; safari style bedding for a boy’s theme room can bring the adventure into your own home (not to mention his space). With a safari theme quilt which features exotic animals, or savannah scenes paired with coordinating sheets you can give your child a fun, and exciting place to rest his head. Such bedding is also fairly easy to coordinate with other elements of decor, such as a mural on the wall, or a pile of stuffed animals. This room is fairly easy to accomplish on a parent’s budget.

Does your son spend their entire afternoon pushing around dump trucks on the floor, or outside? Or does he tend to beg you to stop at nearby construction sites, or to watch his favorite show bob the builder at every turn of the hour? If this sounds like your boisterous boy, then this may be the perfect candidate for a theme room; something built around construction theme bedding, comfortable cotton sheets adorned with pictures of heavy machinery (cement mixers, tow trucks, dump trucks etc). However don’t forget to purchase fun accessories to throw this creative fun around the room, such as an area rug and matching toy trucks and construction gear. Remember finding a real or vintage construction hard hat can make for a great accessory! (With a little creativity you may even be able to turn it into a lamp for your child’s bedroom)

Although we have covered several theme ideas, remember before you can choose your child’s bedding; you will need to know what you will need. Whether you have a little girl or a boy, child or adult; you will always need the same basics. You will need of course a mattress pad, a bed skirt (unless you have purchased a platform bed), several sheet sets that include a fitted bottom, flat top sheets, and at least one pillowcase. You should also purchase either a blanket, bedspread, quilt, or a comforter (along with a comforter cover), or a combination of these items depending on the season. You will need to make sure that they are all cohesive with one another, to help keep true to your son’s room theme.

When you are trying to find the bedding for your son, you should look for bold patterns. Some of the best colors that lend themselves well to many of the themes you can come up with would be navy blue, maroon, gold, light blue, hunter greens, etc that will allow your son a masculine colored room (that is not to say that a boy cannot have a pink bedroom of course!) These colors tend to make a wonderful foundation piece for any room, and will allow your son to keep them as he grows; without growing out of the theme too quickly.
