How to Mix Bedding Sheet Colors

Create a professional look with bedding variety.

Mixing bedding sheet colors is a great way to add variety and personality to your bedroom decor. When exposed, different colored bedsheets create an eye catching, fun addition to your space. Mixing colors together is a matter of personal preference, but there are some general guidelines you may want to follow to create a complementary, cohesive design.

Instructions

1. Purchase sheets that will work well with the existing decor in your bedroom. Pick a fitted sheet in one color and a regular sheet in a different color. Choose different shades of the same color or make them completely different. Pick colors like red and orange for an energizing effect. Choose blues or greens for a calming, relaxing feel. Go with black and white for a sophisticated look. Mix prints with solid colors if desired.

2. Put a fitted sheet onto your mattress. Dress your bed with a regular sheet over the top of the fitted sheet.

3. Keep the bedsheets exposed if desired. Dress the bed with a comforter or bedspread but fold down one corner, exposing the regular bed sheet. Pull the regular sheet back over your comforter or bedspread to expose the fitted sheet as well.

4. Be creative. Switch up sheet colors whenever you need a change.
