Bed Sets by Color

Finding the ideal color combination for a bedroom isn’t always as easy as it looks. The bedding design is often the first thing that the eye sees. Not only does it have the ability to set the tone for the room, but depending on the fabrics you choose, it also helps determine the comfort level of your bed. There tend to be many choices, both with pattern and color, and even materials can be a bit confusing.

White and off-white shades like eggshells have long been the standard for bedding. This is partly because it is easy to clean them with bleaching agents when necessary, but that’s not the only reason. These very light shades correlate to better sleep because they feel and look clean on your bed. Neutral tones are also a great choice because they aren’t as harsh on the eyes as white can sometimes be. Yellow, blue, and green are also top contenders in the running for “best bedding color” because they are soothing to the psyche.

But when you’re trying to create a specific look and feel to a particular space, color is essential, and sometimes it’s the small things that matter most. Colors can have a psychological effect on the brain, and that means you have to consider carefully what palate you want palette you want to use for what purpose. How do you know what’s right for you?

I know that that’s a lot to consider, but don’t worry. In this guide, I’ll explain the merit behind these color choices, as well as other surprising options that will help guide you to a better night’s sleep.

 

What Colors are Best for Bed Sets?

What is “best” will differ from person to person. Your choice in bedding colors will be determined by the soothing effect you’re going for and personal preference.

The colors I’ll list below are the ones that I prefer the most and will look great in your bedroom.

Choosing Blue Bedding Sets

There are many shades of blue, and I love all of them! You can find dark navy and pale ones. It’s not as easy to work with as brown or beige, but blue can be really striking when it is well combined.

Blue is a cool color by nature, and it works well with pretty much any other cool tone: purple, gray, green, or black.

Using color combinations will give your room a sense of stability and calm. For higher contrast, you can use a warm accent color, like yellow or red.

As an example, take a look at our review of this blue bed set:

Choosing Black and White Bed Sets

Black and white is a classic color combination that will never go out of style. It’s an iconic color scheme that suits just about any room, adding glamour and drama to your beroom.

Black and white bedding sets could make the room look somber or cold. A pop of accent color will add a fun vibe to your living space.

These colors can be any you imagine. For instance, yellow, red, blue, green, brown, lavender, pink, and more!

As an example, take a look at our review of this black and white comforter:

Choosing Mustard Bed Sets

Mustard yellow is a color mostly made out of yellow with a bit of red and even less blue.

Yellow is considered a warm color within the color spectrum, along with reds and oranges.

Sharp, piquant and tangy, it adds a shot of heat to anything it touches, and right now it’s fast-tracking its way to be the interiors accent color.

As an example, take a look at our review of this mustard bed set:

Choosing White Bedroom Sets

White is known as the color of elegance. However, it may be difficult to keep clean.

When it comes to inviting serenity, white bedding does a wonderful job. There's a reason why so many luxury hotels feature white sheeting.

White bedding is also extremely versatile. It works with any decor style, from modern minimalism to ornate traditionalism. You can mix and match white bedding with other colors, too – a white sheet set can form a foundation for a rotating collection of blankets, quilts, and comforters.

As an example, take a look at our review of this white bed set:

Choosing Teal Bedding Sets

Teal color is a blend of green and blue in a range of proportions that may vary having many shares.

Teal is one color that can add elegance and drama to a room at the same time. When you look at the colors that complement teal, you will get a wide range of possibilities.

Teal color has the power to brighten up any room and help to give a modern and classy look to space.

As an example, take a look at our review of this teal bed set:

Choosing Yellow And Grey Bedding Sets

Each color is unique in its own way. They all express something unique, and they each have characteristics that no other color can replicate. But sometimes one color is simply not enough to express exactly what you want and to create the atmosphere you want. For that, you have to combine.

The yellow and grey combo is a fascinating one. Grey color is neutral, elegant, and bold. The yellow one is the color of the sun, a very bold and vibrant tone but still a soft shade.

As an example, take a look at our review of this yellow and grey comforter set:

What Colors are Best for Monochrome Bed Sets?

A monochromatic aesthetic is a bold way to make a statement in any room. Monochromatic color schemes look intentional and eye-catching. And that style doesn't have to feel overly matched.

Find a color you love and use it as a base for the bedroom, whether you want to take it all the way or keep things subtle. You can get this by adding a colorful pillow or with painted walls.

As an example, take a look at our review of this monochrome bed set:

What About Patterns?

Using a pattern can have a big impact on your bedroom. The key to using patterns in a smart and sophisticated way is to balance it with a hefty dose of white or other neutral colors. The walls and accents in the shams are a beautiful complement to the organically-striped comforter.

Patterned bedding may look great, and there are many patterns that you can choose from when it comes time to decorate your bedroom and cover your bed.

Choosing Floral Bedding Sets

Flowers are the best part of spring. The colors are a sign of love and livelihood.

Floral sheets bring color to all spaces and make you feel like you're sleeping on a bed of flowers.

Don't be afraid to use multiple patterns, prints, and colors when decorating. Consider stick to 60% of a favorite design, 30% of a second pattern, and 10% of a third as an accent.

As an example, take a look at our review of this floral bed set:

So, Which Color is the Best?

Actually, there is no "best" here. It is a subject of personal preference. Maybe one of the preferred shades could impede your ability to sleep well. Perhaps some of the "avoidable" shades above don't interfere with your sleep at all. It really is up to the self.
