Pillows and Blankets for Winter: Bedding Styles To Try This Season

With winter fast approaching, it's time to rethink your bedroom style. There is nothing quite as satisfying as a bedroom makeover, revitalising your space and transforming your interior aesthetic. Easily craft a dynamic and functional space using moments of colour and layering techniques - we're talking pillows and the warmest blankets on the market - to explore a new, sophisticated sense of style.

Colour is Everything

Colour can influence your mood - it's one of the first things we experience within a space. Make your bedroom a place you want to go to and bring in some calming hues to help transform your room. This can be done through a pop or a big splash - whatever your colour choice, remember that you want to make your bedroom a sanctuary, somewhere tranquil that you can turn to for rest, relaxation and, above all else, sleep. So, what colours are making their way into our bedroom's this season?

Olives and Muted Greens

A colour that lends itself kindly to the winter months is green. This tonality easily shifts a space into a softly sophisticated aesthetic. Gentle pinks and delicate pastels match perfectly with this contemporary hue. Invest in a set of flannelette sheets - the warmest blankets for winter - in olive and green tones to start crafting a more versatile tonality with a subtle nod to nature. We recommend the Sheridan Plain Dyed Flannelette Sheet Set Queen Bed in Lagoon.

Yellows and Oranges

You might be thinking, yellows and oranges are traditionally reserved for spring. However, in their more muted palettes of mustards and terracotta, both opt for a refreshing and lighter take for the cold season. They offer a more nuanced decor, bringing forth a relaxing and refined style. They also pair perfectly with a charcoal foundation for a pop of much needed colour on those dreary winter mornings.

Deep Pinks

A feminine rose pink is a great way to channel a romantic yet sophisticated vibe. This shade is a staple for a reason - it goes with an array of colour combinations whilst remaining new and vibrant. Check out the Linen House Clyde Cotton King Bed Quilt Cover Set in Dusk for a flirtier and more textured look this winter.

Layering Texture and Detail

The most important styling tip for this winter is layering. There truly is an art to this technique and, once mastered, you'll easily be able to swap in and out trends to suit you and your desired bedroom vibe. There are three simple tricks you can use to completely succeed at layering: changing up decorative pillows, throw blankets and your quilt.

Decorative Pillows

Add warmth to your space by introducing decorative pillows to your bed. This is a super quick way to completely transform a space. For the colder months, opt for faux fur or textured pillows. You can be as creative or reserved as you like - there is no wrong answer! Want to try a new colour? Start off with a decorative pillow and see if the tonality suits your interior space. You can also create a dynamic space by layering different sized pillows - check out the Soren Faux Velvet Backrest Cushion for a comfy and functional pillow option that will craft a layered hierarchy.

Throws & Blankets for Winter

Snuggle up with the warmest blankets this season and make your bed both inviting and cosy. Choose heavier blankets and throws - perhaps a weighted blanket or a woollen, knitted blanket such as the Shaynna Blaze Cottesloe Chenille Throw. Sherpa is another must-have material for your bedroom - check out the Elysian Plaid Sherpa Throw or the Soren Teddy Fleece Throw. Gently toss your blanket across the end of your bed for that envious, effortless chic.

Quilts

A warm quilt or duvet is vital for those chilly nights. The main feature in your room is your bed and your quilt dictates your style - whether that be refined with a muted palette or textured and bold with big prints and lots of colour. Your sheets can coordinate with your quilt, or perhaps offer a moment of dramatic contrast.

Stay Warm!

As the seasons start to change, make sure your bedroom is ready for the cold. Embrace your signature style or perhaps try something new - whatever you decide, know that you can easily change it up again and again and again!
