Choosing the right bed linen, combining comfort, style and harmony
Materials, colors and accessories: our tips for choosing a comfortable bed linen set and creating a harmonious bedroom.
Bed linen plays a much broader role than just accompanying sleep. It plays an integral part in the atmosphere of the bedroom and contributes to the identity of the space. Well-chosen bed linen dresses the bed, structures the space and can, in itself, set the tone for a bedroom. Pillowcases, comforter covers, cushions, plaid: each element counts to create a coherent whole, pleasant to look at and comfortable to live with.
Choosing the right material for your habits
The material of your bed linen deserves special attention. Organic cotton, appreciated for its softness and breathability, offers constant comfort all year round. It's equally at home on cool nights and in warmer weather.
Linen seduces with its natural properties. Particularly pleasant in summer, it gives a feeling of freshness and becomes softer with each wash, provided it is chosen with care.
Percale, recognizable by its matte finish and cool feel, is ideal for heat-sensitive sleepers.
As for satin, its smooth, silky finish provides an enveloping sensation, while being appreciated for its delicate contact with skin and hair.
Matching bed linen colors
Once the material has been defined, the question of colors naturally arises. The aim is to create visual continuity with the rest of the room. To recall a hue present on the walls or in the decor, it's not necessary to impose it on the entire ensemble. A bed runner or a few cushions are often enough to create a subtle echo.
Plain ornaments remain an elegant, timeless option. They evoke a certain sobriety and promote an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. To avoid an overly uniform look, it's a good idea to play with different shades of the same color, alternating lighter and deeper tones.
Certain chromatic combinations work particularly well: white with all the colors, black in contrast, or duos such as blue and yellow, green and yellow, pink and beige, or red and yellow, as long as you remain measured.
White, a timeless classic
White bed linen passes through seasons and trends without losing its relevance. Luminous and soothing, it visually enlarges the space and adapts to all styles. It's also an ideal base for accents of color, whether in accessories or complementary textiles.
Patterns and accessories: finding the right balance
Patterns bring personality to the room, especially when the walls are plain. Ideally, you should choose a pattern that picks up a color already present in the room, then balance it with plain elements to preserve harmony.
Accessories complete the setting: plaids, cushions and bedspreads add relief and comfort. Cushions, in particular, allow you to vary sizes, textures and colors according to the ambience you're looking for.
Bedside tables, headboards and wall units complete the ensemble. Conceived in coherence with the set, they reinforce the bedroom's identity and transform the bed into a real focal point, both aesthetically pleasing and welcoming.
