LILAC BEDDING SETS

Lilac or lavender and yellow are one of my favorite bedroom color schemes. Add a pretty set of lilac bedding or an old fashioned patchwork quilt with blocks made up of vintage lilac prints topped off with some "chipped" shabby chic decor like a recycled, rusty chandelier and I’m in seventh Heaven. Just give me a romantic novel and I'm good for the weekend.

Sadly, a wide variety of lilac bedding is as scarce as hen’s teeth to find ready made. Chances are to get just the right balance of fabrics with large lilac flowers and tiny prints, you may have to pull out the old sewing machine and make your own quilt or ask a doting grandmother to dig into her treasure trove of vintage, lilac print quilting fabrics.

Homemade lilac print bedding sets are perfect for either a shabby chic, cottage or vintage style bedroom decorating ideas for girls. Buy an inexpensive pair of sheer lace curtains to cover the windows that will decorate without completely blocking the bright sunlight with its sunny yellow, mood lifting properties. And add a rag rug to the floor that has been braided in colors of purple, green, lavender, yellow and lilac to pick up the colors from your quilt blocks and you, my friend, are in business!

These colors will complement your lilac print bedding set by pulling all the best colors from the cottage garden that you remember from lazy, daisy carefree days spent at the country cottage or the family beach house. In fact, it might be an excellent idea to venture out and pick a pretty nosegay of flowers to put in a vase or a jelly jar on the bedside table. What a pleasant sight that would be to your sleepy eyes when waking from a relaxing afternoon nap. I can only imagine how lovely it would be to lounge without a care in the world in a bed dressed up with luxury lilac bed linens and sheets that come with most lilac bedding sets.

AQUA BEDDING SETS - BEACH COTTAGE BEDROOM IDEAS

GO HERE FOR MORE!


The surf’s up and the ocean temps are rising. Requests for aqua bedding sets and aqua bedroom ideas start rolling in almost as predictably and reliably as the ebb and flow of the endless tide. This seasonal color trend in teenage girls’ bedroom decor has yet to miss a year for as long as I’ve been involved in bedroom design.

Even when I lived way up north where summer was so late to arrive that the mention of swimming never occurred to me until late June, teens came back from spring break with the intention of bringing their tropical vacation home with them. You could count on these well traveled young girls having ideas of decorating their bedrooms based on decorations that were used in their rented beach cabana and the many shades of blue they saw reflected in the sea. Aqua blue bedding is always a big hit in one style or another.


PATTERNS and PRINTS

Stripes and polka dots have been very popular with this age group but there have been more than a few beach bunnies lately that have chosen blue floral bedding over navy, teal and aqua bedding in plaids, stripes or polka dots. When I say floral, this is not your grandmother’s floral print. These tropical prints are as far from granny’s flowers as a palm leaf is from old fashioned ivy. Splashes and layers of ice blue aqua graphics grounded by teal green and navy are as fresh and bracing as salt spray no matter how many miles you happen to be from the nearest beach or your favorite island.

SHEETS

If your teenage girl likes to mix it up, even with tropical print aqua blue bedding sets, there is still room for a few dots or stripes. Black and white polka dot sheets might be the perfect background for the wild aqua blue bedding set even if the comforter is covered in bright green hibiscus flowers.

THE WALLS

An aqua bedroom is a natural choice for a beach cottage look. If the idea of being surrounded by four aqua walls is unappealing, consider painting three walls white and paint an accent wall a shade of aqua that matches your aqua bedding set.
