Being nosey. What colour is your bedding? Do you co-ordinate or just chuck on whatever is clean?
Mine is mainly red - I had a 'hot' phase after my divorce and got loads of red soft furnishings. And I love them.
But if I ever get the same pale, unassuming, 'please don't notice me' beige bedding with a pretty (almost unoticeable) slightly darker beige floral trim that my dear Mother has on her bed I'll personally sign myself into The Shady Evening Retirement Home for the permanently beige.
So what have you got?
Currently silky chocolate brown with cream and burnt orange applique, matching cushions and throw. It's fun watching my kittens slide off it :grin:
Colour is obviously a personal thing and can also be seasonal - darker warmer colours in winter, light airy colours in summer etc. In tests it's reported that white is the best colour for your bedding as it's apparently the most relaxing as you drift off into slumber!
Just as long as you iron it all it doesn't matter :happy:
You don't need to iron sheets to have a tidy bed. Just hang them neatly while they dry. And make the bed each day.
I always lay the duvet back to air the bed - all day since I go to work. But I do like to throw it back over in the evening cos, for some reason, I do like to walk into my bedroom with the bed made.
I also hate to walk in and see open wardrobe doors - drives me nuts to see. I always, always close cupboards, drawers etc.
I have a throw that goes on the bed in winter (when my heating isn't making much difference). It's deep scarlet, furry fleece and is toasty warm, and I love seeing the bed with that pulled smooth over it - looks so cosy and welcoming. I got is from Aldi - it's huge and was about £7. One of those once-only treasure finds.
