Q: What’s the best way to mix patterns in bedding and curtains?

A: The best way to mix patterns in bedding and curtains is to start with your color scheme. I like to use lots of neutrals like while, beige, or gray for harmony. Then consider your starting fabric - either the bedding or the curtains. If I am starting with bedding that has a bold pattern, I prefer to choose a solid color for my curtains. If my bedding is solid in color, then I will consider going for a print on the curtains. I like my bedroom to be a place of calming, so I often will keep my curtains as subtle as possible.

Q: How can I tie together my bedding with a throw blanket?

A: One of my favorite ways to tie together an entire bedroom setting is to use a throw blanket. I have a whole closet full that I can mix and match with my linens. I choose throws that match or complement the bedding, and for me, throws with lots of texture are a must. I've even used a vintage lace tablecloth as a throw to match the vintage lace on my pillows! If the bedding has a print to it, I like to choose a solid color of throw. No matter the style of the throw, I love them all draped it casually across the bottom corner of the bed for an inviting, cozy look.

Q: What is the best type of lamp to complement any bedroom decor?

A: Lamps are fun bedroom additions, and I like to choose them in neutral colors like white, beige, or black so that they will go with my various looks throughout the year. I like changing my bedding as a quick and fun way to refresh my space for the seasons, but I don't want to buy new lamps every time I do it! Make sure that the lamp is a good size for your bedside table or dresser (something too large can be overbearing, and something too small gets lost in the mix). Also, a must for me is to make sure that the lamp has an easily-accessible off and on switch. There's nothing worse than not being able to reach it when you are trying to relax. Also, if you choose a neutral color and simple lamp shade, you can easily add a ribbon during the holidays to dress it up a bit!

Q: What length of curtains should I choose for different looks?

A: The length you choose for your curtains can drastically change up the look of a room! Keeping them a few inches above the floor creates a modern look and makes cleaning the floor a cinch. If you take them to the bottom of the window sill for a shorter look, your room will feel more casual. I love my curtains about 10 inches longer than floor length and puddle them whenever possible, which gives them a fuller, more luxurious and romantic look.
