Bring the outdoors into your bedroom

February 10th, 2008 by Bedding Expert

Do you love the spring time with new flowers blooming? Have you thought about bringing it inside? Why not bring the floral prints into your bedroom so you can be surrounded by flowers as you relax and sleep. Floral looks are popular for the invigorating color and cheery designs they add to a room. There may be no better way to say goodbye to the cold chill of winter than to relax in your bedroom with the look of spring all around you. Most floral patterns feature a range of shades and colors that coordinate easily with a variety of solids, plaids, and stripes.

If you’d love to have a garden room in your home, here are some tips on using strong floral patterns inside.

•Look for florals that will coordinate with colors you may already be using in your home. With dark green carpeting, a floral with pretty green leaves will fit in well. If you have tan carpeting or just prefer a more neutral look, some of the tea-stained floral designs may be perfect.

•Balance strong patterns with liberal amounts of plain surfaces, on walls, floors, sheets, or curtains. Strong florals are beautiful and sometimes a little can go a long way. Using plain backgrounds will also give you flexibility in updating your accessories from time to time.

•An easy way to construct a color scheme is to choose the background color of a floral pattern for the paint color of the room.

•The secondary color will be a pleasing mid-tone that might be used for carpeting, bedskirts, pillows, upholstery, and trims.

•The third color is often a brighter accent color. Use this color in smaller accessories, trims, and accents throughout the room — in pictures, vases, small boxes, welting, pillows, tie-backs, chair seats.

•Repeat fabrics within the room so the patterns are seen throughout the room. For example, if your bed is dressed in a pretty floral, add a floral runner on your dresser, a floral pillow to a plain chair.

•Look for artwork that includes floral themes.

If traditional chocolates and flowers is too traditional for you then try dressing up your bedroom.

Set a bouquet of flowers next to the bed, and decorate with candles and rose petals. You’ll enjoy the ambiance on February 14th, but you’ll also get to enjoy those sheets for a long time to come.

Difference between comforters and bedspreads

February 1st, 2008 by Bedding Expert

Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Many of us do, and the reason is that we often get too cold. Even in the summertime when it’s hot, I am sometimes too cold, because of the air conditioner breeze. Have you ever thought about purchasing a good set of comforters and bedspreads? They really will help you to sleep warmer at night.

Did you know that there is a difference between comforters and bedspreads? Actually there are several. Bedspreads are usually larger than comforters, even for the same sized mattress because bedspreads cover the entire bed.

Bedspreads come off at night, while comforters are used when you are sleeping. A bedspread’s primary function is to serve as a decoration not as a body-warmer.

Over the Hedge kids bedding

January 25th, 2008 by Bedding Expert

Over the Hedge tells the story of a raccoon and a turtle who come to terms with their woodlands being taken over by suburbia, trying to survive the increasing flow of humanity and technology while becoming enticed by it at the same time. The film adaptation features RJ befriending a group of woodlanders and introducing them to suburbia, with an ulterior motive of helping him replenish the food supply he stole from a bear.

This is cute bedding with all of the characters from the movie including RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, and Hammy the squirrel.
