Bedding Sets Or Separates The Smart Way To Build A Cohesive Bed
There is an art to a beautifully dressed bed, one that looks intentionally layered and effortlessly luxurious. This finish can be achieved with a simple bedding set, but for a truly curated look, many opt for bedding separates. Deciding between the convenience of a ready made set and the flexibility of building your own is the first step to creating a sleep sanctuary that feels uniquely yours.
What is the benefit of a bedding set?
Bedding sets, often called bed in a bag, offer ultimate convenience. They typically include a duvet cover, flat sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcases, all designed to match perfectly. For anyone looking to quickly furnish a bedroom or guest room, a bedding set provides a guaranteed uniform and tidy look. It eliminates the guesswork of matching colours and styles, ensuring your bed looks cohesive from day one.
Why do people choose bedding separates instead?
Choosing bedding separates gives you complete control over every layer. It allows for a more personalised and luxurious approach, much like a stylist building an outfit from individual pieces. This is why many prefer to build their bed from a wide selection of beautiful bed linens.
-
Custom Comfort: You can mix and match different fabrics to suit your personal comfort; for example, a crisp percale fitted sheet with a more relaxed linen duvet cover.
-
Creative Control: Separates allow you to create a unique and sophisticated style that cannot be matched by a prepackaged set.
-
Practicality: This method is also practical, as it allows you to replace just one piece that wears out without having to buy an entire new set.
How do you build a cohesive bed with bedding separates?
Building a cohesive bed is about creating a visual story through texture and colour.
-
Start with your base: Start with a neutral base, such as a white or ivory fitted sheet. You can explore the deep and extra deep options in our fitted sheets collection to ensure a flawless fit.
-
Choose your core: From there, select a core duvet covers that sets the tone for the bed’s overall look, perhaps in a subtle hue or with a distinctive texture. You can see the full range of options in our Bed Linen collection.
-
Add layers and accents: Next, introduce variety with pillowcases that complement or contrast with the duvet cover. A popular method is to use pillowcases in a slightly different shade or fabric to add visual interest. Finally, add a folded blankets at the foot of the bed. This is a simple but effective way to introduce a final layer of colour and texture, pulling the entire look together.
Bedding sets or separates: Which one is for me?
For a truly perfect bed, the choice between sets and separates comes down to your priorities. If you value speed and simplicity, a set is an elegant and hassle free solution. However, if you enjoy the process of curation and want to create a bed that truly reflects your style and comfort needs, separates offer a level of creative control that cannot be matched.
