Bedding to complete your room

In this difficult financial and housing market, more people are choosing to redecorate themselves rather than sell their home, or pay for professional decorators to do the job. When it comes to decorating your bedroom, there are lots of things to think about, but don't forget to update your bedding.

How bedding fits into your scheme

Most of us have a dream bedroom; for some, it's a sultry boudoir, with rich fabrics and luscious colours. For others, it's a minimalist space, a room where you can get away from it all and sleep in peace. Whatever your dream bedroom may be, you can create it with the right use of colour, fabric, bedding and furnishings. Your bed is usually the focal point of your bedroom, so it makes sense to ensure that the new bedding you choose fits in with your decoration and turns your room from a newly painted shell into a room you can really enjoy:

• Design - think about the sort of design you want your bedding to have. Do you want it to reflect the themes you've chosen for your room - flowers, stripes, bold or muted colours, for example, or do you want it to be natural and plain, allowing you to add accessories to emphasis your style?

• Fabric - the types of fabric you choose for your bedding can make a huge difference to the way your room looks. Vibrantly coloured silk sheets for example, will look completely different to pure white Egyptian cotton bedding. Duvet covers that have raised patterns or that use beading or buttons for detail can add a new element to your room, whilst bedding that's coloured but without any pattern or design can give your room a calm feel.

• Type - are you a lace and frills person, or a functional one? Your bedding often says more about your personality than you might think, so take the time to browse through all the different types of bedding available so that you can choose something you'll be really comfortable with - both in terms of its look, and more importantly, how it feels to sleep in.

When you're buying bedding for your room, think also about buying several sets of bedding, and perhaps different types. That way, you can make your bed the real centrepiece of the room, and change the atmosphere in your bedroom just by changing the type of bedding you use.
