As I am doing my very own bedroom makeover at the moment, I thought I would feature on the blog some more bedroom ideas, and how the choice of bedlinen can make a real difference to the feel of the bedroom. You retreat to the bedroom to rest and relax in an easy environment that’s unique to you. What better way to unwind at the end of a busy day than in an inviting bed, beautifully dressed in comfortable and crisp covers?
Today’s shopper is spoilt for choice with the plethora of products available for purchase. From stripes and spots to patterns and prints, there is a breadth of bed linen in every conceivable design. With all shades of the colour spectrum available for consideration, there’s something to suit every interior scheme. Yet, why limit yourself to one colour-way? Go back to basics and consider neutral bed linen to complement your bedroom design.
1. Make a timeless style statement
Neutral bed linen in soft and subtle shades can help to create a timeless and classically stylish bedroom. Crisp, bright whites will complement a contemporary design and subtle variations of neutral shades will soften a traditional bedroom style. While some colours will invariably fade in and out of fashion, neutral sheets promise staying power and timeless appeal.
2. Enjoy versatility of design
Neutral linen can bring versatility to your bedroom design. White sheets and neutral bedding provide a blank canvas. Easy to co-ordinate with other furnishings, neutral sheets allow for increased creativity with colour. Lift the look of your room with brightly coloured cushions or curtains. From clashing, bold bursts of colour to muted shades of the spectrum, white sheets create the ideal backdrop for experimentation with colourful accessories.
Choose from a wide range of neutral bed linen in various styles and soft shades. With an array of available fabrics, why not combine different designs to bring depth to your dressed bed? Neutral hues needn’t be uninspiring. From feminine detailing to natural textures, a collection of clashing or co-ordinating fabrics will introduce an additional element of interest.
3. Breathe life into your bedroom
Bright colours can overpower a bedroom design and this is particularly pertinent for small spaces. Dark coloured sheets can add to this stifling sensation and create a room that feels claustrophobic and confining.
Lighten the atmosphere of your bedroom with neutral linen and help to create an airy and open room. The finished visual effect has the power to completely refresh the look of your bedroom.
4. Establish a relaxing bedroom environment
Neutral colours encourage a relaxing environment and where better to start in the bedroom than with your choice of bed linen? Bedrooms that channel a calming vibe are more conducive to encouraging sleep.
Choose soft shades and neutral colours to create a serene environment for sleep. Selecting the right type of bed linen will ensure you get a sound night’s rest. Pastels, creams and whites provide calming tones and are the ideal choices for creating a relaxing room.
5. Choose neutral colours for convenience
Neutral bed linen can also make washing and changing sheets more convenient. There’s no need to separate colours and repeated washing is unlikely to compromise the quality of your linen. Coloured sheets will fade over time, but neutral tones tend to remain looking new for longer.

I will only buy white bed linen – but finding it simple enough is tricky, unless it comes with a hefty price tag (which for King Size it generally does. I like the idea of neutral and scope – pretty ideas here 🙂
