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.
