You may be tired of winter whites. You may be someone who hesitates at bright colors. You may want to change up your bedding without having to start from scratch.
If any of these are familiar, then this ideabook is for you. Seemingly simple, verging from layers of whites and creams can be difficult! Especially when you're wanting to infuse your room with color or up its drama without creating a bohemian aesthetic. How to find that balance?
You won't find an over-the-top bright bed in this ideabook. This is meant to be a transition from whites and creams into the world of color and pattern. These beds exhibit a great balance between the serene quiet of neutrals, and the vibrance of patterns and touches of color. Good luck in your journey towards a less-white bed.

| This bed frame adds plenty of detail in this small, understated room. The simple stripes on the pillows coincide with the wall art. |

This is definitely grown up — and fun. A sophisticated touch of color and shape goes well with the movement of this duvet.

Grays pair with warm wood in this bedroom, and a great touch of pattern is added through this cover. It's finished-looking without overpowering.
A similar color palette amid this beautiful intricate classic pattern keep things calm. A simple mix of colored pillows adds the final touch.

You don't have to go bright to go bolder. This classic light bedroom becomes unique with the bed color and the quilt color and detail. It's a perfect starting place — bolder items can enter in and be interchanged at will.

| Pastels again, but bolder. Use the comforter for inspiration and work around it. This bed is the centerpiece for many of the room's details: curtains, the wall color, and even the floor covering. |
| This is a simple bedroom that adds a kind of Danish modern detail in the navy patterned cover. Simple matching pillows finish the look. |

| You don't have to veer from neutrals to go bolder. Where this room would be elegant and beautiful in all creams and whites, the choice of a high-contrast gray still keeps the atmosphere calm and elegant while adding drama. |

Shades of gray and blue are so pleasantly 1950s masculine. Here the blocks of color add layers and dimensions without overpowering. The wall color behind is a perfect choice.
Don't think of needing to add pattern and color all over. Consider paiting two items to create continuity. Here, the headboard and pillows pair together, while the background pillows and the duvet coincide. This all creates a great layering.

Similarly, the ottoman pattern coincides with the throw, and the blues and neutrals all tie in together wonderfully for a supportive background.

You can keep your white bedding and add a new touch with details. Consider a new bedskirt and matching large bolster pillow. Consider two Euro pillows and a matching throw.
If you DO want to go a bit brighter, but don't want to commit to an overall restart, consider piling pillows. This room is completely rejuvenated by the addition of these pillows to a simple blue comforter.
