What’s worse than having to make the bed? When the finished job looks just as messy and unintentional as it did when you woke. Thankfully, we keep spotting a fail-proof bedding solution borrowed from the paint world: color-blocking. The secret to pulling off a painter’s palette of textiles? Hold to the rule of three (hues, that is). One for the headboard, another for the sheets, and the last for the primary top layer—whether throw pillows, a quilt, or a duvet. Swathes of solid color read naturally neat, never mind the zing they bring to the room. Ahead, five of the most compelling combos we’ve seen.
Natural materials—note the time-worn floors—steady the punchy hues in this Melbourne bedroom by designer Tali Roth.
Jes Saddington, founder of Australian bedding brand Dazed But Amazed, does the hard work for you, releasing new hues in groups called “tonal editions,” bought as a bundle.
Take a page from content creator Dabito’s book and pull palette inspiration from elsewhere in the room. In this case, the antique rug underfoot.
Studio Roene’s Julia Sobrepeña extended the color-blocking in this Los Angeles Craftsman bedroom right down to the floor with a navy rug.
Designer Lauren Carlucci took on double the color-blocking for this clever corner daybed bench, which sleeps two, in a family’s East Hampton, New York, home.
