With so many options available in today’s bedding market, the choices can become almost overwhelming. Each season a new color palette hits the market which defines the new idea of elegance, which is why it is not surprising that the newest definition of elegance is all about neutrals. A bedroom decorated in all white or cream is the very height of chic. To create this look, try bedding ensembles that are white or cream with a subtle pattern, sheer neutral window treatments, and a sheer canopy over the bed.
Some great options for neutral bedding are Metro and Rose Garden by Croscill. Metro is a very modern ensemble with a cream tone on tone geometric design, while Rose Garden goes for all out romance with floral embroidery on a silken cream background. Gustavia by Veratex is another stunning option for a neutral bedding ensemble. This delicate ivory and taupe damask design is a luxurious take on the new trend. If a simpler pattern is more your style, try Warwick or Sandalwood by Lawrence. These patterns offer simple elegance in a neutral cream palette.
For a stylish and elegant selection of sheer window treatments, Heritage Lace offers a wide variety of sheer panels and valances in white or ecru. Sheer Divine is an excellent choice for your neutral bedroom decor. These sheer panels and valances are graced by a delicate floral vine pattern. A sheer hanging canopy over your bed is the perfect finishing touch. Try to find one in the same shade as your curtains to keep the room as neutral as possible.
Now, to finish the room, add one bright pop of color. A vase of deep red roses or a bright Georgia O’Keefe print will breathe life into the room and make the neutral palette that much more exquisite.
