Practical Bedding Solutions
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
Busy parents know there’s never enough time in the day to get everything done, so quick and easy solutions are always welcome. Take bedding for example – experts recommend three sets of sheets, with one set on the bed, one in the wash and one set ready for use -even if you have a small family that’s a lot of bedding to manage.
Shopping online is one way to get the task under control – you can browse and buy any time of the day or night and before you know it the goods are at the door. Modern bedding is generally sold in sets so you also don’t need to waste precious running from store to store in search of a missing or matching piece. Even better, the notion of matching is a bit outdated – it’s more stylish to combine prints, patterns and colors in an eclectic mix.
If the prospect of compiling an eclectic yet pleasing array of bedding sounds daunting, relax – you don’t need to hire a decorator to select luxurious designer bedding or call in a professional; today’s bed ensembles are pre-designed to coordinate perfectly while not matching precisely. To make life even easier, seek out brands which offer full bedding collections so you may easily add coordinating pillows and window treatments to complete a room.
Another way to save time is to keep the sheets and pillowcases in all neutral colors such as white or cream so they will match any sort of bed ensemble you select; it’s also easier to do a load of white and light colored sheets from several beds at once so laundry can be processed faster.
