Our personal tastes come across in many household items, but nothing “makes” a bedroom like our choices in textiles. Some people love to slip between cool cotton sheets, while others enjoy piling themselves beneath a mound of fuzzy blankets. Some like satin or silk, while others prefer flannel or wool. And what about those down comforters everyone’s talking about? With so many choices, it can be tempting just to grab whatever’s on sale. Yet a careful selection can accent the colors in your room and offer you a good night’s sleep time and time again.

There are many types of coverlets and bedspreads to choose from. Luxurious bedding, like the type at the Hilton Hotel, is often referred to as “heavenly” or “fit for a king.” The truth is, you don’t have to be royalty to enjoy a good night’s sleep. Luxury sets include items like satin sheets, down comforters, pillow-top mattresses, memory foam, high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, damask pattern sheets and hand-embroidery. This type of bedding is recommended if you require maximum comfort and durability or if your decorating scheme is upscale modern. Frette, Bellino Fine Linens, Anichini, Peacock Alley, Pratesi and Yves Delorme are just a few of the manufacturers that offer luxury bedding.

If you’ve watched the HGTV show “Simply Quilts,” then you’ve likely fallen in love with these sentimental, personalized blankets. Some people take quilting courses, where they hand-select each piece of fabric, putting their collage together based on either personal preferences or distinctive meanings. Often quilts are passed down throughout the years, with each generation adding their imprint. There are also handmade quilts that can be purchased in stores as well. Or perhaps you’ll buy your favorite quilt at www.domestications.com, www.etsy.com or www.ebay.com.
