Zebra Bedding or Something Plain?

With so many themes and colors to choose from for your bedding, where do you even get started? For so many people their bedroom is their personal sanctuary, the one place even in their homes where they can sometimes get away from it all (depending whether they have kids or not…) and picking a theme for their bedding that they can enjoy and feel comfortable with is probably the easiest way to express their style with the greatest impact, least amount of work and lowest cost.

For example, zebra bedding is a very popular theme at the moment that easily creates an exciting or exotic feel, it’s an eye-popping visual focus well suited either for a child that loves animals or a person looking for some extra flair in their room. Perhaps you want something a little more tranquil, like plain white comforter with only the slightest of trim? This Zen-inspired look can be equally striking against dark furniture.

Think of the colors that make you feel comfortable and cozy. Then decide on a design, bold or plain, that will create the desired feel for your room – luxurious, relaxed, peaceful or exciting. Now explore different textures that will augment your choices. Sticking to a theme for your room, whether based on color, pattern or style period, is a great way to pull things together and get the overall impression you will surely enjoy.
