Slipping into a freshly made bed is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Since you spend nearly a third of your life there, why not make it one of the most stylish spots in the house? Exactly like donning a great outfit, dressing your bed with luxury linens that express your personality or make a statement can change your whole state of mind.

The bed sheets have been in usage since the Vedic Civilization. The term bed sheet was first used in the 15th century. They were traditionally white and made of linen, cotton or silk. Bed sheets were initially looked at as a utilitarian item. However, in synchronization with modern time, bed sheets are now available in enchanting designs and hues.

Thanks to this season’s fresh and fabulous colour and print trends, it’s easy to be stylishly good in bed. This season it’s all about mix and match. Want to know what the most chic and amazing bed sheet trends for 2017 are? Here you go:

Latest trends in bed sheets:

Classic white: Like a crisp white shirt, white sheets are a classic that will never go out of fashion. Clean and inviting, they create a halo effect that sets a tone for the whole room. If you like a calm and comfortable setting in your room, you can go for pure cotton bed sheets.

Linen all the way: A beautifully made bed can make a room sing. When choosing sheets this season, it’s linen all the way. Not only does it breathe better, it creates a relaxed, lived-in look that is essential when dressing your room. Don’t be afraid to mix and mismatch pillowcases with bed linen, even if it’s choosing different shades of a similar hue.

Prints in vogue: If you are a fun loving person, you can opt for bed sheets with bright coloured graphic prints. Printed sheets give you the freedom to play with pattern without changing the entire look of the room. Most people prefer stripes and jacquard prints. Targeting the need, companies have come up with beautiful bed sheets with patterns and floral in particular.

Mix and match: Neither plain, nor print! Be bold and go for mix and match. Have a plain bed sheet with printed cushions; it will look very attractive and stunning. Use darker colours, as they give off heat and will maintain a cosy atmosphere in your bedroom.

Geometrical designs: Geometrical designs give an impact of organisation and symmetry. They look very chic and in this way, you can easily mix and match many colours in a single sheet. It can either be uniformly geometrical (in one shape with different colour lines) or combine different shapes with different colours. It will give a warm comforting sensation.

For a luxurious feel: Satin sheets are fabulously soft to touch. Satin is made up of woven polyester which drapes smoothly over the bed to give you restful sleep. The glamorous satin bed sheets can be chosen from bold and saturated colours such as aubergine, purple, gold, pink, silver, lustre black and some of the delicate shades like sage, French blue, blush and mushroom.

TIPS

But how can we make sure that we got the perfect bed linens? We are going to give you some tips on how to choose the perfect bed sheets for your bedroom:

Thread count: Comfortable sheets are those that are 100% cotton and not the 1000-thread count. Egyptian cottons, Supima cottons or combed cottons are good choices but if you want a more affordable option, polyester/percale blend is best.

Decide on the materials: The materials you choose for your bed lines are a personal choice. Consider sheets of cotton-poplin if you want something light. You can also choose cotton, which is soft and breathable, and could keep you warm during cold seasons and stay cool during summer. Egyptian cotton is the most luxurious material for sheets. You can try cotton-polyester which is a blend that is reasonably priced and wrinkle-free but this is not as cooling as cotton. Linen is a popular choice during summers because it has a natural cooling effect and it absorbs heat from you. Choose high-quality linen which becomes softer the more you wash but they wrinkle easily. Be sure you’re buying from a quality manufacturer and again, feel the material for softness.

Add trendy bedding accessories: Yes, your bed sheets are something you have to invest in. But sometimes, getting a simple bed sheet could be a good idea because you can just accessorize it with the throws, decorative pillows, comforters, duvet covers and others. You can even try getting trendy yet inexpensive pillow covers to add more life to your bed and your sheets.

Proper care is important: Well, no matter what kind of bed sheet you choose, it’s important to treat them well so that they last for a long time. Using fabric softeners could eat away fabrics - actually it’s putting a coating of chemical that make your sheets softer but are actually damaging the fabric. Washing sheets in hot water and over drying them in high heat would cause the threads to break faster. If you want to extend the life of your sheets, always use lukewarm water and do not dry them on high heat.
