Florals For Spring? Groundbreaking.
Truth be told, a floral pattern can brighten up a space, and the BEST, most simple way to do it is with bedding! I've been looking to give my jewel-tone, moody bedroom a bit of a refresh for a while now, and what better time than Spring to swap out the old with the new? I wanted something bright and cheerful to give me a bit of a pep in my step as I head into the new season. Think walking down the tulip-lined sidewalk in your favorite sundress, sipping on your iced drink of choice with fresh pastries in hand as if you're the main character of an early aughts rom-com about to have a meet-cute. Let's be honest, there's nothing like Spring in NYC, it's almost romantic. Ok, it is, so what better way to channel a simple bedroom refresh than to draw inspiration from one of the most picturesque seasons in the city, Spring?
Give me pastels, give me luxurious textures, and give me FLOWERS! Lots of them. Romanticize your fabulous boudoir as if you would yourself going about your day on a fabulous spring day. Enter this brilliant Ted Baker bedding from Decoratd. A moment for the rich colors and fresh blooms inspired by The Hampton Court Gardens in London. They're whimsical and the perfect contrast for my deep teal walls giving them the brightness I've been craving throughout the winter.
Before we dive into all the fabulous Ted Baker bedding details, Let’s talk about the process of picking colors and patterns and making them pop in your space.
First, pick your color palette. It can be minimal like 1-2 colors or maximized to several colors. I love a more is more moment so I went with a few different hues to integrate throughout my bedding refresh. I usually start with my HERO item to help me decide on a color palette. In this case, it’s the Ted Baker New Hampton Comforter Set. An easy rule of thumb: If you’re picking bedding with patterns that have multiple colors, chances are that the colors found on the bedding will work in your color palette. It’s a built-in mood board. For instance: The main color of the comforter is a lighter blue and the flower patterns spread across the comforter have multiple complementary colors like soft pink, rose pink, and yellow with some richer contrasting colors like deeper greens, blues, red and orange.
I chose blue, soft pink, deep green with a pop of yellow, rose pink, and teal for my color palette. Blue for the comforter, pink for the sheets, green for the quilt, and yellow, pink, and teal as the little pop from round throw pillows. Another favorite color palette picking tip: look at the color wheel and decide which complementary colors or contrasting colors you want to use to create your palette.
Pick a pattern (or two or a few). Do you want just one pattern to be the star of the show or do you want to play with prints? For me, I did a little of both. I let my floral comforter shine while also integrating subtle almost neutral patterns into the design. Hear me when I say it’s all about scale. I went with a tiny pattern for layering the Ted Baker T-Quilt over the comforter. The scale of the embossed T’s is so small that it coordinates perfectly with the flowers. For the round throw pillows, I went larger with the scale since they’re a similar pattern but with contrasting colors. Note: florals and animal patterns are neutral patterns and can be paired with nearly any print.
Mix and Match. Yes, to a mix-and-match bedding moment. No, you don’t have to build your entire bedding collection based on the picture on the website. You can play around with colors and patterns while layering in different pieces to make it more personal and more you. After all, it is your bedroom. For me, I mixed and matched the Ted Baker New Hampton Comforter Set with a complementary soft pink Ted Baker Plain Dye Sheet Set.
I layered the luxurious satin Ted Baker T-Quilt over the comforter in a deeper contrasting forest green with matching Ted Baker T euro shams and decorative pillow to tie together the blues and greens from the walls and ceiling to the bedding to make it cohesive and blend while also giving the floral comforter that extra pop.
I think more florals are more so I couldn't resist finishing the look with both the Ted Baker New Hampton Decorative Pillow (yellow) for the bed AND the Ted Baker Peppermint Decorative Pillow (pink) for the pink corner chair. It’s like everything was made for my bedroom but it wasn’t exactly shown this way on the website, so get creative - mix and match!
