Sep 2010 If you’re a parent then one of the things you will find yourself buying regularly is childrens bed linen.
The UK is renowned for its textiles and always has been. We have a long history with weaving, with decorative textile arts and with interior design so it is not surprising that we produce some of the most beautiful childrens bed linen. UK fashions and fads are renowned for being right on the button, with the rest of the world following in our wake; even children’s fashion in interior design is big business…which means of course that there is a vast choice of styles in childrens bed linen UK designers often reflect the trends within other areas of design when they are considering what is going to be popular the coming season.
The current resurge in vintage style home and fashion items is seen reflected in children’s bed linen. For girls we see a variation on the bold graphic styles of the 60s and 70s, with large bright floral patterns and also whimsical animals.
A more romantic style on the market is reminiscent of the 1930s through to the 1950’s with roses, daisies and softer more muted colours. The amount of beautiful designs is truly staggering and these floral and character prints look fabulous when teamed with toning plain sheets and throw cushions. Whether your little girl is the bright and bold type or prefers a softer look there will be a gorgeous floral set for her out there.
As with the girls, boy’s prints are also continuing on with the vintage style, smaller boy’s sets are a riot of spaceships, cowboys, stars and pirates whilst older boys can snuggle up under some of the gorgeous nautical inspired children’s bed linen sets.
Fresh, bright colours which are easy to team with your other décor choices is so easy to find these days, whether you’re looking for plain and simple or fun and frilly, your perfect set is out there.
Don’t limit yourself to one style either, a neutrally painted bedroom can be host to an ever changing whirl of colour and pattern within your soft furnishings…as long a you keep the walls and furniture neutral, you can use bed linens and accent cushions as the linchpin for the theme of a room.
