Let’s Decorate with Floral Bedding

It’s been a while since I put together one of these “Let’s…” posts. They’ve always been fun, but I’m especially excited about this one because I’ve expanded on the concept! Will you let me know if you like the change in the comments?

OK, onward. For this edition, we’re going to design a bedroom around floral bedding. This new design kicked off the idea, but there are a few other floral patterns out there that I love and wanted to bring in for the post.

Which bed, bedding, and bench would you put together in a room from the choices below? I’ll share my choices with you, after the jump. Here’s the added portion though — normally I would simply show you the three items I’d pick, but this time I’ve taken those three and continued the idea, actually pulling in the elements for an entire room.

Ready? And… go!

1. Architecture Bed, Room & Board, $899-1299

2. Blue Linen Paige Bench, World Market, $279 $167

3. Garden Trellis Bedding, West Elm, $16-69

4. Wright Bench, Charcoal, One Kings Lane, $369

5. Alchemy Shiny Brass Bed, CB2, $599-699

6. Woodland Meadow Duvet Cover, Schoolhouse Electric, $109-145

7. Avignon Headboard, Serena & Lily, $1295

8. Nikolette Pillow-Top Bench, Cream, One Kings Lane, $315

9. Zimmer Trunk, Pottery Barn, $699

10. Orange Quilt Amanda, Roberta Roller Rabbit, $175-250

I would choose numbers seven, eight, and ten from above. That headboard is so interesting that I would complement it with a simple bench at the foot of the bed. Florals love polka dots, so I’d bring those in with the sheets and then add another color in the bedding — mustard yellow is always a favorite of mine with pink. Natural wood in the furniture plays off of creamy white ceramics, a vintage portrait works in the room without being matchy-matchy, and the rug brings in more pink in a subtle way.

The only problem with expanding on the post like this is that it makes me want to redo my bedroom, top to bottom. That urge happens all too often when I put together a new design though, so I think I can safely ignore it!
