Update Your Bedroom With a New Sheet Set or Two

If replacing all of your bedroom furniture isn't in the cards at the moment, updating your bedding is a great way to make your space feel fresh. Just switching out your sheets might be all you need to satisfy your urge for a new look. In addition to offering a fun change, there are plenty of practical reasons to have an extra sheet set or two. Laundry day, for example, gets infinitely easier when you have a backup set of sheets ready to put on as soon as you strip the bed. Fortunately, Pottery Barn Teen has a tremendous selection of sheet sets and cute bedding ideas to satisfy all of your practical and style concerns.

The Details

When shopping for a new set of sheets, you'll first want to consider whether you just want a different look or whether you need sheets in a different weight or fabric. If you live in a climate with drastic seasonal weather changes, you may want heavier flannel sheets in the fall and winter and light, breathable percale sheets in the spring in summer. If you live in a more temperate climate and already have a breathable cotton sheet set, you may want to try out a new material like jersey, sateen, or microfiber.

If you have a boldly patterned quilt or comforter, you can stick with solid-colored sheets or make a statement with a thoughtfully chosen contrasting pattern. If your comforter is more neutral, you might consider a monochromatic look for a soothing, spa-like atmosphere; or you could use your sheets to add unexpected color or pattern to your bedding. You might also use your new set of sheets to pay homage to a favorite book, movie, sports team or hobby. Of course, you'll probably also want to pick out a festive sheet set to help you get into the spirit during the holidays. The possibilities are nearly endless.
