Our pick of lovely, affordable patterned bedding to buy now
There aren’t many elements of your home that you can change up at whim. A wardrobe is a little immoveable, a dining table is likely too large to fit anywhere other than its designated spot, and you have to choose your sofa upholstery carefully, based on a hundred small decisions like comfort, texture, colour schemes and climate. So, when it comes to your bedding, why not truly let loose?
Choosing your bedding is a great opportunity to be a little braver than you might be in more permanent areas of the home and patterned bedding can bring a tremendous amount of joy and fun to a space. The best part is, should you decide in six months that you no longer love to look upon your chosen sheets, then you can put them into storage until then inspire you once again!
If you're feeling a little trepidatious, patterned bedding can be mixed and matched with plain, block colours or crisp white sheets to give the eye somewhere to rest. This will allow the patterns to sing, rather than feel overwhelming. In the same vein, a patterned throw or quilt over plain bedding will do the trick.
