So it’s cold and miserable outside, but that’s no reason for you to be cold and miserable inside too.  Like the idea of snuggling up in comfort and style with luxury bedding that keeps you warm as well as brightening up your room?  Then read on ….

  • Firstly, make sure that all of the layers on your bed are fully functioning.  Stop using anything that’s ripped, worn or frayed and replace it.  Now, this doesn’t have to be horribly expensive – you can recycle most things, sheets, comforter covers and pillow slips included, so if expense is an issue, make do and mend quite literally!  For instance, check out thrift stores for vintage lace or trimmings that you can add to fraying pillow slips or comforter edgings – lace really adds a sense of luxury to the bedroom!
  • If you have a little bit to spend, it’s worth checking out discount luxury bedding in stores or on-line.  In this way you can replace your worn bedding with luxury comforter sets relatively cheaply and still re-use the fabric of your old bedding as and when you can – or pass it on to a thrift store or textile co-operative for someone else to reuse.
  • Check out the light aspect of your bedroom in the winter: this can be very different to how it is in the summer and can influence your choice of color or style for your bedding:  it’s worth taking a moment to stop and look before you buy any new bedding or make any major changes.  For example, the room might be bright and light in the summer and can carry off ‘heavy’ colored bedding, whereas in the winter this might make the room too drab or dark, so perhaps muted florals would help to brighten it up in the winter.  Or, consider the satiny fabrics in jewel colors often found in contemporary luxury bedding, to add a sense of light and shine to the room’s winter aspect.  Identify how the shadows from artificial light play out in the room as there is much more artificial light needed in the winter!
  • If you are uninspired about how to create a sense of luxury from your bedding, consider how the bedding is used and presented in hotels.  Sounds mad, but think about it: hotel bedding usually plays a big part in creating a welcoming, inviting atmosphere to your hotel room, which is exactly what you are trying to re-create for your winter bedroom.  So, think about hotels you have stayed in or research images of hotel rooms on-line so that you can identify how the bedding adds a sense of luxury –perhaps there are cushions, or an extra comforter running across the foot of the bed?  Make a mental note of what you like and don’t like, then see what it is feasible or practical to incorporate into your own bedding makeover.

Just by taking a little time to research what exactly it is you have to work with and identify your likes, dislikes and ideals can mean that the changes you make to your bedding could have the effect of giving your whole bedroom a winter make-over!  And from there, you can lie back in your luxury bedding and enjoy every moment of the winter!
