Design Details: Bedding

After reading through the reviews my home received from voters in Apartment Therapy's Small Cool contest, I noticed that many people commented on the bedroom duvet cover. It's true that since the focal point of a bedroom is almost always the bed, it's important to choose great bedding. This selection sets the colour scheme for the room, and can also create a mood.

Last week on Sarah's Cottage, the East guest room had a bright, sunny feel, while the West room had a cooler vibe. Notice how the colours in the bedding set the scheme for the entire room:

East Room

West Room

Finding the perfect bedding can be difficult - I found mine at Quilts, Etc. It's called Sienna, by Carlingdale:


I also like this Pearlized Sequin Duvet cover from Simon's (only in Quebec):


A classic pinstripe from Restoration Hardware always looks crisp:


This orange tile print from Pottery Barn could inspire a Moroccan theme:


With so many options, it helps to know what colours you like and what the kind of mood you want to create. Most importantly, choose bedding that you love!!
