Big White Bed

One of my favorite bedroom design elements is an all-white, plush bed. And lucky me, I've got one!


Earlier this week, I put our crisp, fresh white spring sheets on our bed. Spring sheets, you say? Umm, yes. Well, more like non-winter sheets. I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but it's the truth... during the winter, David and I use dorky flannel sheets on our bed. You'll have to cut us some slack- while I love our 1952 abode, it's not the best in terms of insulation, so it can get a little drafty in the winter! Obvious choice? Go lumberjack style with sheets like these.


I know, so cool, right? Okay, I digress... back to the white bedding! In my opinion, a white or neutral bedding ensemble creates the perfect canvas to add in a bunch of texture, color and prints via accessories. In our bedroom, I've got vivid, colorful pillows, heavily textured shaggy sheepskin rugs and dramatically patterned curtains- even though they're each a whole lot of design, they don't seem to scream "too much!" when paired with the all white bed. At least in my opinion : )



And just for some further inspiration, here are some gorgeous all-white bedding inspiration pictures.

Are you an all-white bedding fan? Or do you prefer duvets with lots of color and pizazz?!

  1. I have all white bedding, as well as my 4 kids. It's a good investment, no matter what color I paint my room or my kids room their bedding will always match!!

  2. I am sooo close to getting a gorgeous white comforter but I am scared! I have two little boys and counting my husband- there is a lot of testosterone in my house... which doesn't equal clean...:)

  4. I love white, and I love how I can just toss my white duvet in the wash with color safe bleach. I also love the color and pattern that you can add with white bedding.

  6. Great look, Michelle. You can't beat white for summer! Easy to match accessories with. Love the color on your walls, too. That last photo is jaw dropping unique!
    Hope your week is a good one!

  11. I love a white bed too, it is so relaxing. Your bed would look great with something at the end. A bench or ottoman of some sort.

  13. All white bedding is great! I love the pops of color in your space. The white bedding is the perfect touch against the color. (And we also use flannel sheets in the fall/winter too!) You gotta do what ya gotta do! :)

  14. I'm also a huge fan of all-white bedding. The master and guestroom in my house both have crisp white sheets, and crisp white duvet covers - but with colourful throw pillows. Swoon. Makes me happy all year round!

  15. I love love love an all white bed and have wanted one for years! However, my two pups reign supreme and therefore we have to go with a color so as I am not washing the sheets and duvet everyday! (Still ends up being once every three days I think!)

  16. All white beds are my faaaavorite! But with a nearly black cat that sleeps at the end of my bed all day? It doesn't really work :( Though sometimes I just put an accent blanket folded at the end for him to sleep on, it's still risky!

  17. I am a huge fan of all white beds! I own like 6 sets of white sheets. I think a white bed is so crisp and inviting! Dying laughing at your flannel sheets- but you gotta stay warm! xoxo

  19. I love all white bedding. But having two big dogs that like to sneak into our bed at night just won't allow me to go that route. :)

  20. Your bed looks so cozy! And I love the white beds you featured -- Especially the room with the zebra rug on the floor ...

  21. White bedding is my favorite! I can't wait to have a big bed sporting a fluffy white duvet (: I love that first inspiration picture!

  22. I love the look of all-white bedding, but for myself I prefer colorful bedding. It makes me happy to see my blue and green comforter (my favorite colors) =]

  28. I have an all white bedding set!! I have the Ruched Voile duvet set from Pottery Barn..I used to have it in my master, but right now, it's currently on my guest bedroom. I love white!!

  29. Love the fact that you have flannel sheets! What a funny little secret! I am with you -- keep your bedding neutral and then you can change things out to mix it up a bit.

  30. I'm also a flannel sheet gal and just packed our set away for now. I think they are so cozy. I'm also a white bed gal. It is so peaceful looking and fresh and it's fun to use pops of color in the pillows and curtains. Your bedroom is very pretty.

  33. I have white bedding too, and I adore it. So fresh, clean and cozy!

    Mchelle, I'm redoing my bedroom at the moment (but not replacing the sheets!) and I'll admit I have a little curtain envy. Would you mind sharing if you sewed your pretty paisley numbers, or purchased them pre-fab? I'd love to know where to get my hands on them, or on the fabric, if you don't mind sharing. Many thanks!

  34. Hi Sarah Jane! I actually made the curtains that hang in our windows and in front of our closets (same fabric, which is from JoAnnes). The tutorial on how I made them (no sew!) can be found here: http://www.tenjuneblog.com/2010/08/before-after-master-bedroom.html.

    Thanks for your sweet comments!

  35. Thanks! I'll head down to JoAnne's tomorrow. The paint's drying in the bedroom so it's time for curtains. I'll be so glad to be done with blinds! Thanks again. Love your blog and your style.
