As you’lll be spending most of your time in bed, it’s important to choose bed linen that feels comfortable and having it match your room should be the secondary requirement. With so many options out there when it comes to bedding, finding something that suits both shouldn’t be too difficult at all.

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of bed linen designs on the market from the luxury offerings to floral, right through to what we’d consider contemporary designs. I always advise to buy high quality bed linen as for the sake of an extra few pounds, you can get something extremely luxury which makes you want to spend all of your days in bed.

Most people try to match their bed linen to their curtains or carpets. I think this is wrong. When planning your bedroom, it’s often better to contrast your curtains to your duvet cover. Have your interior carpets match one of the other, don’t have everything the same colour.
