I know that when some people think of fashion they usually think of clothes, shoes, eyewear etc. However fashion can come from almost anywhere. Today I'm going to focus on the fashion of your bedroom. Not many guys take into count the thread count (do you like that play on words) of their linen. Here are a few ideas to think about.
Save a filthy bathroom, there's nothing less romantic and unappealing to a man about to spend his first night at your place than rumpled, mismatched bed sheets and pizza crumbs in the bed. While you probably don't spend much time thinking about the decor of your boudoir, rest assured that he does.
Men view a bed as more than a place for sleeping and other animal activities. They also see it as a tranquil place to unwind and lounge around. To encourage him to spend more time between your sheets, you should invest in some linens that are more current than those your mom packed for you when you left for college.
Fortunately, bed sheets are not as time-sensitive as wardrobe items, so whichever ones you choose will last you several years. Here are some suggestions on how to turn your bed into a haven of comfort and style.
Bed, Bath and Beyond flannel sheet set
Chocolate and ice blue are a highly complementary pairing. A combination of plaid print and 100% cotton flannel fabric gives these sheets from Bed, Bath and Beyond a rugged and woodsy feel. Boasting five ounces of cotton per square yard, these heavy-duty sheets will lend a country cabin feel to your room all while keeping you toasty at night. To enhance the outdoorsy atmosphere of your room, add a guitar, an overstuffed armchair and some not-too-perfect-looking wooden dressers and bookcases.
Yves Delorme Malo bedding
It's hard to get any more classic and timeless than blue and white pinstriped bedding. This set from Yves Delorme is extra soft against your skin due to its satin weave, and it will never go out of style. Continue a cool and refreshing nautical theme by adding red throw pillows and blankets or add some sunshine to your bedroom by bringing in a couple of bright yellow accessories.
Ralph Lauren Wentworth cuff sheeting
An American style icon, Ralph Lauren rarely disappoints when it comes to tasteful home decor, and these sheets are no exception. Crisp white cotton meets wide black cuffs in these 200-thread-count sheets and pillowcases, and the result is pure elegance. No matter what furniture you currently have in your bedroom, it’s highly unlikely these sheets won’t match your current belongings.
If you plan to refurnish your bedroom in addition to getting new sheets, consider choosing modern designs to emphasize the sharp and sophisticated look of this bedding.
Dwell cotton sheet set
If you're a wild, crazy and playful kind of guy, give her a heads-up by choosing more adventurous linens. This Swinging Sixties-inspired set from Dwell is different -- but not in a freakish revolving bed with leopard print sheets kind of way. Make sure you tone it down in the rest of your room, however, by selecting earth tones for your paint and furniture. If you already have a lot of dark wooden furniture around your sleeping area and are looking to give your bedroom a quick boost, these cheery-colored, vintage-print sheets are perfect for the job.
