Rest Assured: 6 Chic Bedding Upgrades

by Shannon Nash

If getting beauty sleep is high on your list of priorities this month, upgrading your bedding is essential in accomplishing this mission glamorously! Whether you choose to add a pop of color with some vibrant throw pillows or go for a major overhaul and invest in new sheets, upgrades to your bed provide instant gratification…not to mention the necessary inspiration to actually make your bed everyday.

Beauty Sleep Essentials

Lighten Up

Jayson Home Stitched Ikat Queen Blanket, $275

Trade your heavy feather down comforter for a lightweight blanket in 100% cotton so it can breathe and allow for cooler nights. Pick a bright color to give your bedroom a whole new look.

Chic Shams

Parachute Home Percale Pillow Shams, $50

The fastest way to add sophisication to your bed is to swap out regular pillowcases for propper shams with a structured edge.

Pop Of Color

Rebecca Atwood Hand Dyed Pillows, $150-$225

If you have a penchant for white sheets, a fun way to play with color is to add a few throw pillows. Choose a color that works in other rooms of your house so you can move them around throughout the year.

Refined Details

Crane & Canopy Embroidered Sheet Set, $179 for queen size

Nothing says luxury like freshly ironed embroidered sheets! If you're partial to the hotel-style exposed top-sheet, a scalloped embroidered edge will transform your room into the presidental suite.

Luxe Layers

Barney's New York Cortina Throw, $395

A cozy throw folded at the end of your bed is made for those leisurely moments when you're enjoying a good book or indulging in a midday nap.

Fit For A Queen

Hovey Design For Kumi Kookoon Silk Robe, $438

If you're going to update your bed, don't forget to treat yourself to a fabulous robe. For the summer, swap out terry cloth for fine cotton or 100% silk.
