All White Is All Right

22/06/2010

Simple, crisp white sheets have been recommended as the ideal buy as part of your bedroom makeover plans.

Lisa Quinn, author of Life's Too Short to Fold Fitted Sheets: Your Ultimate Guide to Domestic Liberation, told Yourhome.ca that white is better because other colours can make a bed look too fussy.

Bussing decorators are also advised to keep two sets of linel for each bed, as white sheets will not fade in the same way as coloured.

The other beauty of an all-white spread is that the pillow cases, sheets and duvet covers are exchangeable, so there is no need to lose sleep over what goes with what, Quinn claims, which also reduces the amount of washing needed.

Another tip was not to fit sheets too tightly, as a dishevelled look can often bring some personality to a room, rather than seeming "uptight and prudish", in Quinns words.

Website paris-link-home.com concurred with the theory that folk often redecorate their bedroom first as it can be a personal sanctuary for them.
