A Trendy Visual Treat…

A Trendy Visual Treat!

I have been blogging about the HOT color this year “Orange” and I came across this picture and had to share it with my readers.

What a delicious pairing of chocolate brown and orange to create this decadent visual treat in this modern bedroom. In this room the designer stair-stepped the walls to carve out a niche for the bed and separated the sleeping area from the rest of the suite.

You can create this same look with a Two-Tone cotton blend comforter in Chocolate and Orange along with Chocolate pillow shams from The Trendy Bed.com. What is a two-tone comforter? One color on one side and a second color on the reverse side – when you fold down the comforter it shows a different color, calling it a two-tone.

Trendy Spotting!

Orange bedding is cropping up all over lately. Here’s how to gradually work this brave hue onto your bed.

1. If you add just one colorful item to your bedding, let it be an orange throw. You can be brave and add an ethnic textile of some kind, or it could be just a solid throw.

2. For more color, add a duvet cover or comforter on which orange is the major player. Keep the rest of your bedding white to play it safe.

3. Build on the duvet cover with matching shams and throw pillows in an accent color or two. The white sheets stay in place.

Trendy Inseparable Sheets?

These Trendy Inseparable Sheet Set is actually sewn together across the foot and up the entire wall side of the bed so the sheets are held firmly in place while you sleep.

Bunk beds are hard to make? Now make your bunk beds in a matter of seconds! Lay the inseparable sheets on the bed, put the fitted sheet on. The top and bottom sheets go on at the same time tucking in neatly along the wall side (there is no sheet to come un-tucked and hang down on the wall side of the top bunk). Get up in the morning, pull the top sheet up, straight across, and the bed is made. Even your children can made their own beds in the morning!

Let’s address those college students. Dorm beds are difficult to make. They are all against a wall! With our Twin Inseparable Sheets, students can make their beds in a matter of seconds. Just pull the sheet up and straighten. That’s all there is to it.

Trendy Tips on How to Mix Patterns.

Trendy Pattern

When it comes to decorating your bedroom, or any room in your home we all question our decorating skills. I have put together some “Trendy Tips on How to Mix Patterns”..

1. Color Plus White: The easiest way to mix patterns is to stick to one color plus white. White gives the eyes a place to rest and highlights.

2. Vary the Scale: Mix and Match small and large patterns. A good mix should include small, medium, and large scale patterns.

3. Use Shades and Tints: There’s no need to worry about matching when using various shades of a single color.

4. Use Coordinating colors: An easy way to ensure your patterns will mix is to choose coordinating colors. Red and greens are complementary colors because they are directly across from each other on the color wheel.

5. Mix types of Patterns: Cottage style has quintessential patterns that help define it. Plaid, Toil, and Country French floral can create a playful cottage style in any bedroom.

In the picture above they mixed floral and stripes and they are using shades of blue.

6. Anchor the Color Scheme: Start with one pattern and pull all the room’s accents colors from it.
