Rooms: Dressing your bed for maximum effect - Choosing new bedding has to be one of my favorite pastimes interiors. For me, it's like buying a new pair of shoes: the fight to choose the right dress done and dusted, the shoes (or in this case, the quilt cover, pillows and throw) are really the icing on the cake. And like a fabulous pair of wedges or pretty vintage kitten heels can make or break your outfit, your bedding choice - color printing, material and texture - can add the perfect finishing touch to your boudoir.

Nail your neutral
If you are an out-and-out lover of all things neutral - especially when it comes to the bedroom - then you can always inject masses of style and personality by layering different textures and tones.
This natural linen bed is dressed with a thick wool blanket knitted and cushions for ultimate resting place of subtly patterned.

If, like me, you like all colors of the rainbow, and can not choose between florals, spots and scratches, it can be incredibly difficult to determine the bedding you want.
a design trick is to echo the colors and style of an important characteristic - in this case, the abstract work - across your bed linen and throws. The pretty geometric print aqua, lemon and sapphire Press is the perfect accompaniment to the wall art and adds a good dose of originality to boot.

dress your bed with different plaids and can ly transform the look of your bedroom. So why not swap and change the look throughout the year, depending on the season, your changing tastes or just because you feel like?
stick to plain white bedding as a fail-safe starting point and add the blocks of color, pattern and texture as you go. Here, burnt orange, lemon and gray create a warm, habitable sleeping den and harmonize well with the base bed of eggplant and headboard

White it out
most of us are inclined to associate all-white walls and floors with richly colored sheets and printed in bold. While such work certainly contrast, another option is to saturate a room in pale shades and go on a pure white bedding.
layer with different textures and colors if you want to introduce a hint of contrast - quilting in this room adds depth - but embrace the whiteness for a serene serious look

Couche with pale pastels
I love old nudes and blush tones, so for me this beautiful bedding takes the place number a.
The key is to choose a faded dream palette in shades of pink plaster, pale gold, putty and buttermilk and sprinkle generously over sheets of delicate linen, smooth satin quilts and silk pillowcases slippery.
There are a glamorous look for the 21st century, but never too girlie or saccharin sweet.

Citrus yellow is such a color on the trend for our homes this season and it works beautifully with the soft gray and pure white.

smarten it up
the style hotel room shop is still flying high on the radar of interiors and it is easy to see why . The smart crisp look is discreet luxury and style that is easy to live with.
Dress the bed with neutral simple clean lines (think dove gray, pale biscuit and taupe earth) in a satin mixture and Egyptian cotton sheets, pillowcases and blankets, and finish with a merino wool blanket . Remember to channel your inner chamber woman by plumping cushions and get rid of all the creases, for bed-making skills Ritz would be proud.
