So to be sure to sleep in beautiful sheets, we decipher with you the different patterns and materials to revamp your sleeping area with style.
What material for your bed?
Cotton, linen, silk… there are different schools when it comes to bed linen. While some prefer the sensuality of silk, others worship linen, while still others swear by 100% cotton. In recent years, new materials have enriched the choice offered by the different brands of nightwear.
Flax
We love washed linen, which by its thermoregulatory properties, brings a feeling of freshness in summer and retains heat in winter.This fabric shows great resistance, and is also appreciated for its absorption capacity and its anti allergic properties. However, be careful not to use water that is too hot to wash the linen sheets or pillows (40 ° c max).
Most : very easy to maintain, since there is no need to iron it to keep its natural crumpled appearance so chic.
Hemp
This is a material that we keep talking about! Ecological, it has many advantages which attract more and more those who are concerned about the environment. A very old plant, hemp does not require any herbicide or pesticide treatment to develop. The hemp fabric, obtained from the fibers contained in the stem of this herbaceous plant, is therefore very ecological. Five times more durable and stronger than cotton, hemp fiber demonstrates unparalleled resistance and unmatched durability.
most : hemp bed linen becomes smoother and softer with each wash.
Flannel
What could be more welcoming than the softness of flannel sheets for this winter? Versatile, this fabric is appreciated for its resistance, comfort and warmth. For more practicality (especially washing), flannel is mixed with cotton for your bed sets.
Most : flannel retains more heat than other fabrics and provides maximum comfort for long winter nights.
Cotton gauze
This fabric, only yesterday, intended for the world of babies and ready-to-wear made its appearance in the world of bedding and household linen. So much so that cotton gauze is now at the top of the decoration trend. On the table, in the bathroom but also in our bed linen room, it squats our interiors. Cotton gauze (single or double) is distinguished by its embossed and naturally wrinkled appearance. Light in summer, pleasant in winter, it is easy to maintain. Cotton gauze is a delicate material that is best washed at low temperature (maximum 40 ° C).
most : naturally embossed, it is useless (even risky) to iron it.
Whatever the material chosen, we try to favor brands that work locally and respect both ecological and ethical values. A pretty room yes, but respecting the planet!
What colors for your bed linen?
United
Gone are the days when you gave your flat sheet to your fitted sheet and your duvet cover to your pillows. Today we like to mismatch bed linen. Indulge yourself by choosing a shades of colors while mixing the different tones. A midnight blue sheet associated with a sky blue fitted sheet and finish with two pillowcases that mix the two shades to harmonize the whole. Also pick in trendy colors with seventies accents, such as brown, yellow or terracotta. It’s up to you to complete your set with a faux fur plaid or a knitted wool quilt that displays a contrasting tone.The color palette is large, the hardest part will be to choose the combination that suits you while always having in mind do not overdo it so as not to disturb your sleep!
Patterns for all tastes
For all those who are fed up with the unicolour and who want to give character to their bedroom, there are several trendy patterns. If the more cautious among you will adopt mini polka dots or fine tone-on-tone stripes, others can choose more daring designs. The XXL checks, the Arty faces, the tropical forest patterns or the leopard are yours. A tip: to avoid falling into bad taste or overloading, mix the patterns together. Thus a leopard duvet cover will be perfect with plain slate pillowcases and a sheet displaying oversized stripes will be wiser with a plain or pinstriped fitted sheet.
