Bedding - buying classics

Our beds are important places, so it's not surprising that we want to use the bedding we're most comfortable with. For many people, contemporary bedding gives them the opportunity to reflect their personalities in the bedroom, using colour and texture to create the sort of environment they want to have. For others, however, it's classic bedding that rules to roost, using great quality textiles and timeless designs to create the perfect bedroom.

Buying classic bedding

White bedding seems to be the epitome of classic good taste. Marry the pure white style with the top quality fabrics, and you have luxurious classic bedding. Whether you're using traditional sheets and blankets or a more modern duvet, you can find good quality, no-fuss bedding that works for you:

• Quality fabric - if you're looking for really classic bedding, you have to choose the best quality fabric. From pure Egyptian cotton to high thread counts with good cotton mixes, your bedding will feel more comfortable and last longer if you choose this type of bedding. Of course, if you're after a little more obvious luxury, choosing the best quality pure silk bedding may be for you.

• Timeless designs - modern bedding comes in may styles, with added decoration. Classic bedding may be plain, or with a very simple but effective design element - a delicate sateen stripe, for example, or a piped edging. Lace-inspired appliqué patterns and other designs may be found on duvet covers, but sheets and pillow cases are generally low-key.

• The right accessories - teaming plain classic bedding with the right accessories can create a fabulous look for your room. If you're sticking with white bedding, use the accessories to introduce some colour to your bed. Using warm tones and soft fabrics will help to make your bed look both comfortable and welcoming, without compromising on your classic theme.

• Your bed - you might think that you can only pair classic bedding with a classic bed, but the beauty of this type of bedding is that it can enhance any bed frame. From antique French beds to modern leather ones, you can make your bedroom an oasis of calm by using classic bedding styles.

The great thing about today's bedding is that it can be easily and inexpensively changed. This means that you can buy bedding for a classic look and also buy bedding with a contemporary feel. This allows you to change the mood of your room whenever you wish.
