What’s worse than having to make the bed? When the finished job looks just as messy and unintentional as when you woke up. 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? Stick to the rule of three (hues, that is). One for your headboard, another for your sheets, and the last for your primary top layer, whether that’s throw pillows, a quilt, or a duvet. Swathes of solid color naturally look neat, not to mention the zing they’ll add to the room. Ahead, five of the most compelling combos we’ve seen.
Emerald + Sand + Cobalt
Natural materials—peep the time-worn floors—balance out the punchy hues in this Melbourne bedroom by designer Tali Roth.
Forest + Tree Moss + Wasabi
Jes Saddington, founder of the Australian bedding brand Dazed But Amazed, does the hard work for you, releasing new hues in groups called “tonal editions,” which you buy as a bundle.
Khaki + Dusty Lavender + Tangerine
Take a page from content creator Dabito’s book and pull palette inspiration from another aspect of the room. In this case, the antique rug underfoot.
Burnt Orange + Hunter Green + Blush
Studio Roene’s Julia Sobrepeña extended the color-blocking in the bedroom of this Los Angeles Craftsman to the floor with a navy rug.
Cornflower Blue + Chartreuse + Peach
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.
