Decorating your bedroom can be a great way to express your personal style, but it can also be a daunting task. You can begin to conquer this room by focusing on one aspect of your bedroom at a time and then letting those choices influence 

your direction in the next facet of the room. A great place to begin this journey of adornment is with your sheets!

There are so many sheet sets available in the world today that you are sure to find some that reflect your personal style perfectly -- matter of fact, you are likely to find several sets that suit your design aesthetic. 

Everyone uses sheets, and so they are often considered standard, necessary, utilitarian, and boring pieces, but they should not be viewed this way! Take advantage of your options and create a personal look and feel out of items that are often treated as standard and ordinary. By mixing and matching your sheet sets you can create a lux and custom feel to your bedroom without the sky-high price tag!

HOW TO MIX AND MATCH

Mixing and matching your bedding is easy, begin by finding an element you like and that you can build around. This Element can be a color, a texture, a pattern, or whatever catches your eye, Linen Store has a great selection of sheet sets in different colors and patterns to get you started!

Once you’ve established your foundation begin to expand your idea, you can do this in several ways:

• Mix up patterns - Use a different pattern for your pillowcases, pillow shams, fitted sheet, top sheet, and bed skirt. Keep it simple by varying only two patterns or mix it up with three or more. You can have a lot of fun playing around with what pattern goes where, and with the ability to change the focal point of your room every time you change your sheets your bedroom will never be boring!
• Create visual transitions - Don’t give up on your basics! Solid sheets - especially solid neutral colors can create a great transition when used to break up two bold patterns. This satin sheet set comes in a variety of neutral colors that are easy to pair with patterns!
• Experiment with scale - When you use too many similarly sized patterns the effect can be overwhelming and unflattering --- try mixing larger bold patterns with smaller more subtle ones for a really indulgent feel.
• Play with color and hue - When you mix your sheet sets together make sure you are considering the colors and hues you have chosen. These shades should complement each other, not compete with each other. For example, mixing jewel tones with pastels could create a really harsh and distracting feel.
• Create drama with black and white - If you want to keep it classic and monochrome stick to your basics - but play them up by adding eye-catching and striking accents like these damask sheets. Or use patterned pillowcases against a solid white or black backdrop to give your 
• bedroom that designer effect!
• Create an ombre effect - Take varying hues of the same color and work them into your bed, you could start with lighter shades of the colors in the pillowcases and pillow shams gradually get darker with the fitted sheet and top sheet and darkest with the bed skirt or vice versa. Or mix the shades however you want for a fun but uniform look - the possibilities are endless!
• Choose a focal point - Perhaps you already have a special quilt or a particular pillow that you love and really want to incorporate into your bedroom - make it your focal point! Pick sheets in complimentary colors that will highlight your centerpiece. Should you choose patterned sheets make sure that the colors are not only flattering but that the pattern is on the smaller, subtler side and does not pull focus!

Remember, there is an endless selection of sheet sets to choose from so finding some that you can identify with and that will complement each other and your personal flair will be easy and fun.Just consider what you want the focus of your bedroom to be -- color, pattern, or texture and mix and match your bedding to build around that -- your bedroom will look amazing in no time!
