1. Embrace Color Drenching:
Color drenching is a popular trend where linens, pillows, and duvets match the bedroom’s wall and ceiling colors. While this can streamline product selection, be mindful to strike the right balance to avoid a lackluster look.
2. Opt for Flowing Linens:
Instead of traditional bed skirts, consider a coverlet that gracefully flows over the bed’s edge for a clean and elegant aesthetic. Bedding with untucked sides and draped duvets offer a relaxed and approachable vibe for easy bed-making.
3. Tuck Pillows Under Bedding:
Achieve a structured, neat look by tucking pillows under the blanket or duvet for a hotel-inspired aesthetic. You can also lay pillows flat for a clean or free-flowing appearance.
4. Accent with End-of-Bed Details:
Drape or tuck a duvet at the end of the bed for a layered look that adds warmth and texture while enhancing the room’s overall aesthetic.
5. Consider Skipping the Top Sheet:
In 2025, the trend leans towards omitting a top sheet for a more relaxed and laid-back bed style that is easier to manage when washing bedding.
6. Experiment with Bold Patterns and Prints:
While minimalist designs remain popular, bold patterns like abstract designs, modern geometric patterns, and botanical motifs are making a comeback to add visual interest to bedrooms.
Adding a touch of personality and excitement to a room while still maintaining a sophisticated ambiance is a key focus, according to Alix. She highlights a resurgence of color and vintage-inspired designs, noting a return to the splendor of heavy wallpaper and bedding patterns from the 1970s and ’80s. Anticipating a potential comeback of patterned bedding featuring rich jewel tones in 2025, Alix observes an evolving vintage inspiration in various home furnishings.
A growing trend towards sustainable materials such as organic cotton, linen, and bamboo is noted by Dylag, catering to eco-conscious consumers seeking bedding options that are environmentally friendly, comfortable, and breathable. Alix points out that post-pandemic, heightened health awareness has led to an increased demand for organic, chemical-free bedding, which often offers superior softness and durability even after multiple washes.
In terms of design, Alix emphasizes the importance of layering textures to create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere within a space. She suggests utilizing various bedding elements like fitted sheets, top sheets, duvets, and blankets to achieve a multi-dimensional, tactile effect. For instance, incorporating a waffle blanket beneath the duvet and loosely draping a folded bed blanket over the top can enhance the overall comfort and appeal of the bedroom setting.
