How To Style A White Bed Right

It’s a brand new year, do you want to make your bedroom feel instantly fresh and effortlessly stylish? A selection of classic Reed linens in crisp white are just the ticket. We absolutely love layering white; it’s inviting, and leaves plenty of room for you to add personal touches to your space. Layers of white sheets and blankets make a bed feel clean, crisp, and relaxing, providing a look that’s always chic and in season.

Focus on different fabrics and textures that appeal to you, silky sateen and luxurious cool cotton offer different textures. Keep the season in mind, opting for light and cool in the warmer months, and more layers for cuddling up on those cold winter nights.

By switching out just a few pieces like duvet covers and decorative pillows, you can change up the look and feel of your room without having to completely redesign the space.

Make your mostly white palette, work in the bedroom by having fun with tones and textures, making it look inviting, plush, and cosy. Invest in good quality percale or sateen base and top sheets for maximum comfort. Next, add a duvet or comforter to your bed, followed by a classic Reed quilt as your final textured layer.

Throw In Texture & Pattern |

White bedding can be so much more with added texture and detail. Intricate embroidery, classic hemstitching and corded rows can all add magic. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and lots of tonal texture! When you have white as your base, you have license to really play with texture without going overboard.

Keep It Neutral |

By keeping your colour palette largely neutral, you allow your crisp white bedding to take centre stage. This look is perfect for master suites that are not too feminine or masculine and offer an aesthetic that is more timeless than trendy. Don’t forget that neutral means a lot more than just white! Play with Reeds range of earthy putty tones, deep charcoal and whisper soft glacier grey for a tonal, yet warm look.

Add A Feminine Touch |

A beautiful way of adding texture to a white bed is with soft, feminine details. Floral embroidery, rich jacquard and generous embroidered scalloped edges, each add such a distinct femininity, while keeping it light. You can definitely employ these in any aesthetic from farmhouse to modern.

Make It Cozy |

Who doesn’t love to get lost under luxuriously fluffy blankets? Our Egyptian Cotton Grandeur blanket in white is the ultimate white bed accessory. Folded neatly at the end of the bed or casually strewn over a duvet, it adds a sumptuous final layer.

Boudoir Style |

Layer up plushness with decorative pillows, including a row of elegant Boudoir pillows. Available in many Reed designs, these small rectangular pillows bring a sense of elegance and hotel style glamour to your bedroom and offer you another opportunity to add texture.

Our minds cannot live independently from our environments, keeping our spaces tidy, clean, and organised has an impact on our mood when we get up, on the way we start our day, and on our ability to face issues head-on!

Splash Some Colour |

Adding too much colour to a bedroom can make the room feel smaller and less relaxing, sticking to one or two colours and a base of white, creates a restful space. A decorative throw pillow, bed valance and quilt, are good items with which to experiment bringing in warmer tones or soft colours.

You spend a huge portion of your life in bed, so it really should be a comforting, relaxing oasis. Take into consideration that our bedrooms are the place where we start and end each precious day. Having a bedroom that is in a dirty state can have a variety of negative effects on our mental health and physical health.

A clean room with a beautifully made bed will add happiness and a sense of calm to your life, and who doesn’t want more joy in 2022.

Happy layering, Karen Reed
