Inspired Bedding

I love this old advertisement from Kate Spade.  The bedding combination is wonderful, isn't it?  The graphic yellow & white, mixed with the more tailored (and unexpected) navy-trimmed shams... and the solid yellow blanket.  Mixing different patterns and colors will create a more custom look.  And, it's a lot more interesting than a bed where every piece matches the next.  So, don't be afraid to mix it up!

I was recently asked to list some go-to retail resources for bedding.  On the short list is Frette, Leontine Linens, Yves Delorme, Serena & Lily, Restoration Hardware, Kate Spade, Williams Sonoma Home, Pottery Barn and West Elm.  I know that there are a slew of others that I've missed, but that list is pretty comprehensive for me, and it covers a ton of different price points and styles.  What's your go-to resource for bed linens?


If you're looking to spruce up your bedding this year, you might only need to replace a few items.  Keep the sheets, duvet and shams-- then, add a fun bedskirt and a pair of throw pillows.  Or maybe it's about a new duvet, or printed sheets!  Below, I've put together a few fun options to boost your boring bedding...

skirt + bedding + throw pillows

sheet set + duvet & shams + throw pillows

skirt + bedding set + throw pillows

duvet & shams + sheets + large throw pillows
