Sometimes what you need in the bedroom is that little bit of sophistication and elegance, whether just for yourself to relax and enjoy or for you and a partner. One of the ways in which you can get the most out of your time in your bedroom is to choose the right bedding set. Cotton can be so plain and boring – why not liven things up with some of the beautiful faux-silk designs from online department store www.very.co.uk?

The Jennifer Sheet and Bedding range is absolutely great value and gorgeous in royal shades of deep red, blue or gold. It absolutely oozes luxury, and yet is affordably priced from just £8 and upwards for various items. All of the bedding has golden embroidered cuff detail and is machine washable. The bedding itself consists of 50% cotton and 50% polyester, created a faux-silk polyester feel that is just that little bit special. The bed sheets and duvet covers come in sizes for single, double and king beds, and there are all sorts of additional accessories to choose from, from a runner for the bed to a cosy throw.

Available in only one colour, a glorious shade of demure gold, the Scroll Bed Set is a collection of classically designed bedding. The sumptuous faux silk that encompasses the collection will keep you feeling like you’re lying in the lap of luxury. You can buy elements of the collection separately, for example the duvet cover set for just £27 of a pack of two cushions for £16, or you can buy the specially designed set for £40 that includes valanced sheet, duvet cover, 1 pillow case for single sizes and 2 pillowcases for double or king sizes. Again, this collection is machine washable and the faux silk is much easier to clean than real silk would be.

Finally, an option for if you like something a little more traditional and quaint, the Daphne Bed Set is an ornate collection in dusky pink and white. The decoration on the fabric is in antique style pink tuck and floral embroidery, and aside from the bed set itself you can also find fully coordinating shams and bedroom curtains on the www.very.co.uk site. Like the Scroll collection, you can buy items of the Daphne collection separately or buy the set. The set includes all the same items as the Scroll set, but is slightly more expensive at £42.

When decorating a child’s room, many parents like to select a specific theme for the overall room design. Typically, the theme that is selected is based upon something that the child likes or some gender appropriate theme. Perhaps the child likes a specific cartoon character. They may also have an interest in a particular sport like football, horse racing or cricket. The child may also be interested in a specific thing such a horses or perhaps space travel. Pretty much the sky is the limit when selecting a theme for a child’s bedroom. With the chosen theme, parents like to gather items that centre on that theme so the room is well put together. One of these items they often select is a bed. On today’s market, there are many different fantasy beds from which parents can choose.

Usually the bed is the most looked at piece of furniture in the bedroom and having it pertain to the theme really helps pull off the overall look. For example, if a child’s room will feature a racing car theme, parents might select a bed in the shaped of a racecar. If sailing is more your child’s forte, then maybe a sailboat bed would be a better option. The list is quite endless. Some parents even find that they can purchase a bed from online stores like the popular Bedstar.co.uk, and simply make some modifications to it in order to fit the shape they want.

Since children’s fantasy beds are often irregularly shaped, you need to know how much space you have for the bed. Too many parents fail to measure the space and buy beds that will no way fit or if they do fit leave little floor space. You don’t want to disappoint an excited child when you have to take their fantasy bed back to the shop where you purchased it. When measuring the space, remember to leave room for living space. Most children do play in their room and will need room to do so. Another thing to keep in mind is that with these irregularly shaped beds, you may also need to purchase special bed linens that will fit properly.
