Floral sheets for a focal point

The easiest way to create a focal point in a bedroom is to dress the bed with a print. You can use pattern on a duvet or bedspread. But why not go all out and start with colorful patterned sheets?

Here are some resources and styles to consider.

One of my favorites is the red colorway here. Schlossburg’s Lorraine. They’re available via Laughlin Designs. Hold your breath when you see the price. How can you put a price on beauty?

Manuel Canovas is famous for this fabrics. He also designs beautiful bedding. This is his Lavandieres toile. Find it as Fine Italian Linens.

Another choice from Canovas is Galuchat by Aiko Luxury Linens.

More moderately priced is Garnet Hill’s Field Flowers.

More beautiful sheets after the jump.

A little more subdued, but still vibrant. Above, Cayman is a coral offering from Lulu DK by Matouk. It’s available here. Below, Coral, from William Sonoma Home.

Also from Lulu DK, Paradiso has a nice mix of patterns. From Italian Fine Linens.

Peonies is made by Schlossberg (Bonjour), from Switzerland. You can buy them at Laughlin Designs.

Also by Schlossberg, Gladys brings the irises inside. Again, from Laughlin Designs.

I love the play of Julie‘s soft blue with fuschia. Yet again, Schlossberg at Laughlin.

Finally, another soft blue floral, Doreen. Can you tell I love Schlossberg? Yes. They’re beautiful and well made. A real splurge. Again, the best resource is Laughlin (owned by Snuggle Down).

Interior Design Bedding Tips

1. Spring for fine quality sheets. They feel so wonderful, you’ll never want to sleep on anything else. You can cut on cost by purchasing only the pillow shams and top sheet or duvet. Match them with a solid.

2. Iron them - at least the pillow cases and the edge of the top sheet. It makes a beautiful difference.

3.  Add to your focal point by painting the bed wall with the most saturated color. Use a more muted color or shade on the other walls.

4. Mix and match patterns for accent pillows on the bed.

I usually buy white sheets and use a pattern for the duvet. But these are worth thinking about. Do you think floral sheets are better than solids?
