Bedding trends are usually pretty seasonal – bold colours in winter, lighter and brighter colours in summer – but there’s plenty of inspiration to be taken from the current do’s and don’ts of modern living. And let’s not forget, bedding is probably the least expensive way to give your bedroom a makeover. So, let’s take a look at some of the more popular bedding trends we’ve seen recently.

All-White Linens

It’s no surprise that all-white bedrooms have made an appearance in 2017. Easy, simple, and clean – an all-white bedroom can bring the crisp, refreshing feeling that we all need to feel truly relaxed. Having said that, all-white bedrooms still utilise different textures and patterns to offer something different to the eye. And not all whites are created equal; varying shades and materials can really help to keep a visual space interesting.

White linens are usually used to contrast the rest of a room, so if you have wooden furniture or bright accessories, white bedding can work really well as an accent.

Natural Retreat

In an age where everyone is glued to their phones and tablets, it’s becoming increasingly common for design enthusiasts to create a natural retreat in which to unplug. And this trend can be summed up by one word – Serenity. Whether you’re a tech-whiz or a technophobe, this is one trend that everyone can get behind.

When it comes to bedding, you’ve got to be looking at natural materials such as cotton. Textured duvet covers or throws can also provide that all-important natural look, whereas soft blankets in neutral colours can also do the same. Light blue shades can also evoke a sense of security and serenity as well as provide a seaside-feel – throw a couple of accent pillows on the bed for an easy switch up.

Eye-Catching Bedding

We’re seeing a shift away from block colours towards the use of more patterns being matched together. This stems beyond bedding to curtains, blinds, headboards and accessories such as lamps. While mixing too many patterns can become a bit too much for the eye to take in, the braver designers out there love to try and find the ultimate balance between too much and too little.

Start small and introduce a textured or patterned throw, and maybe some cushions – these kinds of accessories are easy to take away if they’re not working out for you, plus they make an instant impact when brought into a setting. If you have patterned bedding already bring in a bright block colour to contrast.

So, there you have it! Three trends that it’s not too late to bring into the bedroom. Whether you’re looking for something to accent your bedroom furniture or would just like to play around with what you already have, pop in store and check out our rich display of bedding and accessories.
