Bed Linens : The ‘Art’ of a Great Bed

Dress up your bed with artistic style!

Ok, there are artistic beds that should belong in a museum (and do)

And there are REAL beds for REAL lifestyles with artistic flair that you can create yourself when buying bed linens online~

Thank God we’re living in a country where the sky’s the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed…–Joan Rivers

A bed is the focal point in any bedroom, and bed linens are the easiest, most versatile target of creativity.  With all the options available in bed linens Australia, you can easily create your own boudoir “work of art” that has as much unique style as it has beckoning comfort.

Create a great first impression with affordable bedding.  If you currently feel as though your bed appears dorm room eclectic, mismatched, cluttered, or lacking in “something”, we have some ideas that may be just the solution!  You might find that we write dozens of blog articles on bedding, but how can one not be passionate about the subject.  The possibilities of bed linen coordinates and bedroom décor are endless!

Add Some Colour

Give your bedroom some colour with fantastically designed duvet covers.  Crisp fabrics like your pillow cases in bright colour choices will bring dramatic expression to your bed. Since we are talking “artistry” here, think about what colour does to our senses and emotions.  Cool colours will help the mind relax and create a dreamy look.  Hot reds, vibrant oranges, and pop-out patterns are both romantic and alive in visual sensations.

Spreading the Colour and Style Around the Room

Any colour or pattern in your bedspread can be used to inspire the rest of your bedroom decor.  No doubt the bed is the centerpiece of your bedroom, and any color combo can be taken from the duvet and replicated around the room whether it be in the curtains, candles, wall decor, floor rugs, throws, and even upholstery.  You definitely want the bed accessories themselves like pillows, cushions, quilts, and sheets to match.  Consistency in colours (eliminating colours that aren’t consistent with your colour palette) will help your room look larger and more congruent with one theme rather than unorganized and cluttered.

Play it up with Patterns

Chic, dramatic patterns are what we LOVE about the Espirit, Pure Linen, and Logan & Mason bedding collections.  Patterns designed using wonderful colours really convey the artistry appeal that we are speaking of.  In your choice of duvet or doona cover patterns, your room suddenly makes a statement declaring a unique style or theme.  Are you modern-contemporary, enjoy Asian-inspired designs or romantic, ruffled country rustic?  When you have Australian brands like Espirit and Logan & Mason, you know your style preference is in good hands.

Open and Airy or Small and Quaint

All interior decorators will tell you that every detail even down to your bedding will create a sense of ‘size’ in a room be it big or small.  Typically smaller rooms will use bedding that doesn’t make a room “feel” small, and factors that contribute to a room feeling small are very plush duvet covers with a dozen too many pillows on top.  If you have a large space to fill, this would work perfectly; however a small room will need to downsize in accessories.  A contemporary-themed duvet with clean sleek lines and understated patterns  with only a couple of decorative pillows will help make the bed look incredibly stylish yet downsized visually helping you to make the room look as large as possible.
