Think sunshine yellows and pinks splashed across quilt covers. Gingham and ditsy floral sheet sets. Magenta and mint pillowcases. Read on to learn how to layer prints, patterns and a rainbow of ice-cream shades for a standout ─ rather than sweet ─ bedroom. You have permission to break all the style rules!

Small accents, big impact

When you’re working with a neutral palette or introducing colour for the first time, we recommend starting small ─ bring in a pop of pastel using a single throw or cushion. If your base is cream or grey, a mint green throw and cool blue cushion will match perfectly. Mauves and pinks will make more of a statement in an all-white colour scheme. As you become more adventurous you can play with a second and even third colour.

Perfect pairings

Hero pastels on your bed by mixing complementary patterns with plain dye pieces. You can even work just one pastel item with your existing bed linen. Some combos we love: pair lilac vintage washed linen sheets with this floral quilt cover or try a dusty mint quilt cover with sorbet check sheets for some real pastel magic. Consider a reversible pastel coverlet ─ it gives you the flexibility to change your look in an instant.

Inside Tip: Don’t be afraid to mix clashing patterns ─ checks and florals complement pastel colour schemes beautifully and will give your bedroom an edge.

The full effect

To nail this brilliantly busy bedroom look, have fun experimenting with a clash of colours and patterns. First, pick a fitted sheet in your favourite pastel hue. Next, choose a quilt cover with hints of the colour of your fitted sheet ─ it doesn’t have to match. Splice in another colour or pattern with a flat sheet. Finish with an array of pillowcases that match your bed linen as well as some that are completely different.
