Guys, Here's Your Ultimate Bedding Cheat Sheet

Gray is a particularly great choice when you don't quite want to dive into a dark palette but know that you want something other than white. This hue allows you to add flavor to the room but in a subtle and more understated way.

WHITES
You really can't go wrong with choosing crisp, white linens for your space. And the great thing about white is that it truly goes with any and every color scheme and style. White is also a super flexible choice because you can keep a variety of blankets or throws in other colors that can be easily switched in whenever you'd like to change up the look.

To add a bit of extra spice, you can also try to find some white sheets that have other accent colors or a bold band.
DARK COLORS
Going with a dark-toned sheet set or blanket can bring a lot of warmth and coziness to your space. Dark shades of brown, blue, green and even black work very well in a more masculine space. Try pairing two dark colors together for even greater impact, such as brown and black or black and green. Dark colors also work well with gray palettes.

This loft bedroom features primarily neutral tones — except for the eye-catching skull art. The bed, draped in a dark duvet cover, feels extended, expanded and even more lush with the addition of a similarly colored area rug below. A clever perforated wall separates the bedroom from the closet without disrupting the feel and flow of the loft.

PATTERN
Using pattern can have a big impact within your bedroom. The key to using patterns in a smart and sophisticated way is to balance it with a hefty dose of white or other neutral colors. The bright blue walls and white accents are a beautiful complement to the organically-striped bedding. Tip: If you choose a patterned sheet set, pair it with a solid blanket or duvet and vice versa.
