One of the largest current trends in the bedding industry is Asian inspired and Zen bedding. With the hectic lifestyles that most of us lead, the soothing color palettes and designs of Zen bedding are a welcome retreat. With many of us seeking out meditation and yoga classes to quiet our minds, it is no wonder that our taste in decorating has followed down this path as well.

Lawrence Home Fashions is a company based out of Quebec, Canada which has recently released several beautiful Zen inspired ensembles including Silence and Haze. Silence features a linen colored background graced with a windblown scattering of bamboo in neutral shades of brown and charcoal. Haze embraces a watercolor palette of celadon, aqua, and mist to create a serene ensemble reminiscent of a secluded pond filled with waterlilies.

Veratex is another company that has welcomed the Zen trend with two patterns called Waterlily and Dynasties. Waterlily uses a neutral color palette of shimmering almond and taupe jacquards to create a soothing ensemble that captures the simplicity of Zen. Dynasties is an Asian inspired ensemble in stunning shades of saffron and tigerlily silk dupioni. This ensemble brings to mind the luxurious decor of the ancient Chinese dynasties.

Let the tranquil effects of Zen bedding into your home, and find peace on the other side of sleep. Let these patterns be a reminder of the stillness inside you where you are untroubled by the world.
