Bedding Ensembles: Color Schemes Made Easy
If you are looking for a brand new color scheme for your bedroom and you don’t know where start then there’s one easy place to begin which will help you no end – bedding ensembles.
Let me explain. All will become clear soon I promise.
With the huge range of bedding ensembles on offer you are bound to find one which appeals. They are available at all price levels and in all styles and color-ways, with different patterns and themes.
Look for a bedding collection you like which has several colors in the design – ones which you feel go well together. Make sure that you like the style of the bedding you picked as this will form the center-piece to your room and that it is within your budget. You want to make sure at the very least that you are able to buy the major items in the pattern you picked.
Now here’s the thing. This design can form the basis for a whole color palette for your room – they have already been thought through for you by experienced and talented designers. They work well together and you like them.
But how do you translate the color scheme from a bedding ensemble to a room?
First of all pick three or four colors you like from the design you selected – one light, one or two medium tones and a dark (or bright) tone.
Make a note of your colors for when you go shopping.
If you don’t already have the bedding ensemble of your choice, get some paint charts and clip the colors from the charts which closely match the design so that you have an easy way to remember when out shopping and selecting items.
Paint charts: great to find your color when shopping
If you do own the bedding you can always take around a small part of the ensemble (such as a patterned pillow sham) when shopping but the colors from the paint charts help here too in case you see something when you started out without any intention of shopping! Just keep them in your purse until your room is complete!
So how do you use these colors?
Use the light color to select the right shade for the largest area of your room and that is generally the walls. This will typically be a white or off-white cream magnolia shade but it may also be a slightly darker color such as beige, pale grey or a light pastel shade.
The medium colors can be used for soft furnishings other than the bed – such as the carpet or rug, curtains, a tablecloth covering a bedside table or an easy chair or sofa. Make sure you don’t have all these items matching – that would be overpowering. That’s when two medium colors which go together come in handy for some variation.
The darkest color is great for accent touches – little accessories which brighten a room and take away any blandness. You can have fun selecting these.
So from looking at a few bedding ensembles you can get your whole room scheme sorted out as well as your sheets, comforter, pillow shams and bed skirt chosen! For inspiration and to get started, take a look at some bedding ensembles in catalogs, at a bedding super store or online to get some ideas of your favorite color schemes.
Interior Design with Bedding Ensembles
Welcome to Bedding Ensembles Central. This site has been created to help you select the very best bedding for your needs especially if you are looking for advice on designing your dream bedroom and don’t want to go wrong.
You see the bed is the focal point in a bedroom – so the bedding you select is key to a beautiful bedroom design. Depending on your choice and the soft furnishings, wall color and flooring you choose alongside it, your bedroom can be the room of your dreams or the stuff that nightmares are made of.
So choosing the way you dress your bed can be a big decision to make and an expensive one to get wrong.
I remember as a girl back in the 60s and 70s bedding came in just a few different forms. You bought your linens as pillowcases, sheets, blankets and usually a bed cover and choice was extremely limited. The beds were nothing to write home about – you didn’t design a bedroom in those days, you just slept in it! Your “design choices” were nothing more than picking out a bedspread color and finding sheets and pillowcases that matched (if you could) Even at that the range of colors was somewhat restricted. I do remember a “nice” nylon orange quilted comforter I once had which would make me shudder now 
These days we are spoiled for choice with so many different items and designs available to us. We can pick from a whole range of accessories as well as comforters and quilts, duvets and throws, pillow shams and cushions, sheets and bed skirts.

And what’s more they have taken the hard work out of the task of putting together different bedding elements to make a great looking bed by creating ready-made bedding ensembles and collections that are designed to work as one unit. And they come in all sorts of sizes – twin, queen and king as well as in multiple variations to include comforters or duvet covers depending on your preference.
You’d then think it was easy to choose bedding – and it is easier in a way – but now we have so many bedding ensembles to choose from that this causes a problem in itself. Too much choice!
So here is the information and advice, if you want it, to help you make your selection. We’ll help with sizing as well as style and color choices and as we don’t sell bedding ensembles ourselves we won’t be pushing you to become a customer or to choose one bedding ensemble over another or to go over your budget though you will find some advertising which helps to keep this site free for everyone to use.
I hope this site can be of service to you and you pick just the right bedding set from all the bedding ensembles available to make a bedroom fit for royalty.
