White Bedding Ensembles
There is nothing quite like white bedding when it comes to a simple yet effective bedding color scheme. If you bedroom is made up of cool colors you can look at pure white bedding ensembles and if it is decorated in warmer tones you could choose the simplicity of an ivory or cream bedding set instead.
By cool colors I mean very clear colors – pure sky blue, white, gray, clear pink or fresh green whereas warmer tones have a hint of yellow and are colors like beige, peach, caramel or cream.
In either case, whether you choose a pure white or a cream bedding ensemble, you will simplify your decorating choices as you can not go too far wrong with these colors. One thing will be important in your choice however. Your bedding will stand or fail by the quality of the fabric because this will show up very clearly in white.
The fabric could be plain smooth quality cotton with just a slight sheen, a pleated design, a jacquard fabric (which is a self-colored pattern woven into the fabric) or textured weave or it may be rich with embroidery to add a touch of luxury to your ensemble.

The bedding in the picture is a pure high-thread count cotton with a stripe built into the fabric – a pattern without adding color. Although this is a luxury bedding ensemble in terms of quality it is heavily discounted to make it affordable.
A texture in the fabric helps prevent the bedding looking too plain and boring but if you have chosen a plain white or cream fabric it is easy enough to dress your bed up with accessories to match the remainder of the room decor and add a lot of interest that way.
If you have patterned curtains you could have some cushions made in the same or toning fabric to create a coordinated look or, if you also have plain cream or white curtains consider adding a matching trim to cushions and curtains.
Alternatively pick out colors from a bedside table cloth, paintings on the walls or a colorful rug. The kind of accessories you can add along with standard cushions are bed skirts, bed runner, bolster cushion and throws.
There is a time when too many accessories are not needed and that is when your bed is the focal point of the room. If you have a wonderful canopy bed, a carved wooden antique bed or a bed that is contemporary work of art you do not want to detract too much atention from the bed itself. In that case leave your beautiful white bedding ensemble to stand alone with maybe one simple colorful throw and no more.
Daybed Bedding Ensembles
A daybed is a great way of saving space. It is a means of providing an extra living room during the day which converts to a bedroom at night or when guests arrive. Daybeds are designed to look like a couch when not in use as a bed and be a comfortable bed when not in use as a couch! For that magic to happen, you need to get new bedding from the range of daybed bedding ensembles available.
You see, you really can’t make do with standard bedding for a daybed if you want it to look good whether it is being used as a couch or a bed. Bedding for daybeds has a dual function. For example pillows will work as bed pillows at night and as throw cushions on the couch during the day. The daybed cover works as a sofa cover during the day, and as a bed cover at night.
I love the ingenuity of this. Not only do you have to buy only one lot of daybed bedding and save money that way but you also don’t have to find any place to store your daybed linens during the day. That has to be good!

So where do you find these daybed bedding sets?

Having said that however you will be a bit more limited in choosing bedding for your daybed than you are with standard bed linen so if you have yet to decorate your room you may want to choose your bedding ensemble first and then pick out colors from that for your room scheme.
If you are not planning to decorate, and can’t find anything which goes well with your current colors then stick with a cream or white daybed ensemble. Then you can always add cushions or a throw which coordinate with your current room scheme.
By buying online you can have couch daybed cover sets shipped right to your door (often with free shipping) and be enjoying a new look room in no time at all.
