Design That Never Sleeps

Bedding that works beautifully night and day

In a world where our bedrooms often need to multitask more than we do, your bed deserves a design that works around the clock. After all, this space isn’t just for sleep—it’s a sanctuary for reflection, a space to connect, and sometimes even a workspace. Here’s how to style your room so it looks stunning in the sunlight and feels indulgent in the dark.

Daytime

During the day, your bed doubles as a visual centerpiece. Think of it as your own personal canvas where you can add color, texture, and patterns to tell the story you want to tell.

Start with Layering

Creating a simple yet strong foundation for your bedding is key to a cohesive design. Premium-quality linens with high thread counts in neutral tones like white or ivory feel crisp and clean, and they offer versatility when choosing accent colors and textures. This also allows your chosen tones to stand out more. A beautifully layered bed instantly elevates the look of your room during the day.

Add Decorative Pillows

One of the easiest ways to add instant style is with decorative pillows. Mix different sizes and textures to create contrast, keep things cohesive with one or two complementary colors, or make the pillow’s design the focal point of the entire space. Shop Decorative Pillows

Drape a Throw

For a quick dose of design, add a luxurious blanket or throw across the foot of your bed. This not only adds tone, texture, and visual warmth—it also offers a practical layer for when it gets chilly at night.

Bed Skirts

Also known as “dust ruffles,” bed skirts do more than keep out dirt and hide under-bed storage. Available in a variety of styles and hues, they add structure and elegance to your bedding design—making them a perfect way to reflect both day and night styling. Shop Bed Skirts

Nighttime

When the sun sets, it’s time for your visual centerpiece to also be a place of comfort, ease, and sweet relaxation. It’s all about looking cozy and feeling incredible.

Peel Back the Layers

At night, remove decorative pillows, pull back the layers, and create a space that feels soft and snug. If you’ve added a throw, blanket, or comforter, unfold it to make your bed look inviting and ready for rest.

Use Cool Fabrics

Smooth fabrics like sateen and linen help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating. Since maintaining a comfortable sleep temperature is one of the most important factors for restful sleep, these are an easy choice. Plus, Schweitzer Linen offers them in a stunning variety of patterns and styles—so you can stay cool without sacrificing design.

Embrace Bedding Rituals

Small, repeatable acts like unfolding blankets, smoothing sheets, and fluffing pillows signal to the mind that it’s time to wind down. These rituals can lead to deeper, more restorative sleep and calmer evenings. Similarly, making the bed in the morning and folding layers can be a satisfying routine that sets the tone for your day—and makes coming home even more rewarding.

Set the Mood

This tip works both day and night, but it takes on special importance in the evening, when light and shadow interact differently—and when we’re naturally winding down. Shift your lighting to warmer, softer tones that create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Layer in calming scents to enhance the sense of peace. And, more importantly, choose bedding and accessories that reflect the mood you want to feel.
