If you love fashion no doubt you want your home to be as fashionable and stylish as your clothing, purses and shoes. Think about how you dress and then apply those techniques to dressing the bed – after all, sheets, pillowcases, shams, comforters and the like are called bed clothes for a reason. If you focus on investing in basics and then add fashionable accent pieces here and there like decorative pillows and dramatic throws, it’s easy to create a fashionable bedroom and update the look any time you wish, especially when you choose modern and chic bedding.

Basics would include the sheets and pillowcases that you sleep on but are not really on display. By choosing solid colors for your basic bedding you can then use almost any print or pattern on the shams, comforter and bed skirt and add pizzazz with a throw or assorted pillows in different shapes and sizes. Mix and match to try new looks, just as you would when trying on clothes, and think of throws and pillows as jewelry for the bed and pile them on. One of the best things about fashion is shopping and it’s fun to shop online at places like Bed Bath & Beyond for chic bedding, contemporary comforters and fashionable décor accents.

Another link between fashion to wear and home fashions is designer names – some of the biggest names in design have applied their talents to bedding and the results are fabulous. Look for chic bedding from names like Kate Spade, Nicole Miller and DKNY along with top brands like Nautica®, Roxy®, Quiksilver™ and Robert Allen® to get the most stylish looks and fresh designs. You can invest in a complete bed ensemble and have a fully coordinated collection or you can mix and match selected pieces to try new looks – it’s all fun when you play with fashion.
