Bedding down

Faux Silk Pintuck Bedlinen

How’s your bedroom looking these days? Chances are that it’s not seen a revamp for a while. It’s funny really – the bedroom is one of the places we spend most of our time in, but we tend to neglect it. We might decorate it once every ten years if we’re lucky!

Now, you may have spent your Easter weekend doing a bit of DIY and treating your bedroom to some new wallpaper, but if you spent it eating chocolate eggs with the kids instead (and quite right too) don’t worry – there’s a quick and easy way to give your bedroom a new look and feel.

Now that Spring is officially here, why not revamp your bed (admittedly the biggest piece of furniture in your bedroom) with a new duvet, sheets and bedding? You’ll definitely want a lighter duvet now that the nights aren’t quite so frosty and a light or brightly patterned bedding set can give your room a fresh and almost newly decorated feel!

Our top three tips for choosing new bedding are:

1)    Be brave: bedding is so easy to change, so why not go for a colour or pattern you wouldn’t normally consider? If you don’t like it, it’s relatively cheap and easy to go back to “normal”.

2)    Accessorise: why not choose a new lamp, say, or new wall hanging to bring out the colour and pattern of your new bed set?

3)    Treat the kids: don’t forget the kids’ bedrooms – there’s lot of choice out there for children’s bedding, from smart patterns to fun designs featuring their favourite cartoon characters.
