Love Nest: Stop Matching Your Sheets!

mixing sheet patterns

We mix and match patterns and brands when it comes to our clothing, but for our bedrooms, most of us buy sheets, bed skirts, and pillowcases in sets from one store. I came across this beautiful photo on deviantART the other day, and it made me realize we should all be a little more daring with our bedding: Everything doesn’t need to be all matchy. As with clothes, it’s easier to find patterns that mesh well by sticking to a few colors. But really, there are no rules, especially since using a jumble of mismatched patterns will make bed look like it belongs in an Anthropologie catalog. Click through for some sheet-mixing suggestions.

What His Bedding Says About Him

The moment has finally come. After getting your required amount of gallantry and booze, you’re going home with the new guy. But what will his place look like? We all spend the most at-home time in the bedroom, especially on that sexy sorta night. So, just like his underwear style, his sheet set can be really telling. Is your man a full-fledged flannel softie, an Egyptian cotton king, or perhaps even a bold bed-in-a-bag kind of guy? Find out how he’s exposing himself, before you even take off his pants.

8 Sets Of Flannel Sheets That Will Make You Want To Stay In Bed

flannel sheets

The heat hasn’t been turned on in my building yet, but it’s beginning to get chilly in my apartment, especially in the mornings. And when the mercury drops, there’s nothing cozier than a set of flannel sheets. Not only are they snugly, but because thread count doesn’t matter as much with this type of fabric, you can get a super soft set for not much money (especially since a number of sites are having flannel sales right now). We’ll be putting on our flannel sheets this weekend and staying in bed all day, drinking tea and watching movies. Come Monday morning, it’s going to be awfully hard to get up when the alarm starts beeping.

Crave: Miranda July Pillowcases

miranda july pillowcases

Pillow talk is one of those magical occurrences that only happens so often; it’s fleeting, just like dreams. If anyone knows anything about the subject, it’s Miranda July, the director and performance artist whose beautiful indie film, “Me And You And Everyone We Know” seemed, if just for a moment, to make everyone consider the artistic awkwardness of love.

If you’re a fan, check out July’s recent work, which you can bring into your own home. A set of two pillowcases, one has a poignant image with the words, “Here you will dream of endless kissing.” The other, which reads, “Here you will dream of people you admire exposing your fraudulence,” sounds more like a nightmare, but knowing July, there’s probably meant to be ambiguity in words just as there is in dreams. Or vice versa. [$65, ThirdDrawerDown.com]

My Beef With Jersey (Sheets)

Bedding

Not long ago, we told you about how American Apparel introduced a new line of jersey bedding. My first thought was innnn-teresting. Next brainwave: Why the hell do I want a set of jersey sheets? Sure, jersey sheets (t-shirt sheets for those not trolling the aisles of Bed, Bath & Beyond on their Sunday mornings) are insanely affordable and can feel (when they’re new) like the inside of a just-purchased sweatshirt before the first wash—but I just can’t get into them. For two reasons…

American Apparel Diversifies Its Offerings With Bedding

American Apparel sheet sets

American Apparel has been a mecca of hipster clothes since it debuted more than 10 years ago. But how much longer can people continue to wear deep V-neck shirts, gold lamé leggings, and hot pants? The company seems to know that the demand for these products could wane, so they’ve been adding new items to their stable lately. First it was butt-less tights, then scrunchies, and now the company is selling sheet sets. If AA is getting into the home decor business, we have a few ideas for what else they could make with their fabrics of choice.
