Rise & Shine: Orange and White Comforter & Bedding Sets

Most often in bedrooms, the bed is your room's largest contributor, so it makes sense to dress your bed to the 'nines' with impressive bedding that reflects your theme and/or color palette. Your room's focal point is its most important feature with quite the job description.

Bedding introduces your theme, welcomes admirers and guests while grounding the space; it's your bedroom's star attraction. You'll want orange and white bedding that's impressive, capturing and holding the eye a bit longer than the supporting pieces like wall art and accessories.

Orange and white comforter sets like these striped, linear pieces above have plenty of energy to contrast with your walls and attract the eye for that 'Oh, Wow!' first impression you'll need for a successful focal point--the perfect, first step to a great finish.

We often equate money with quality and most often that's the standard pro quo with decorating. If you're like me you often see that 'gotta-have' piece and it's ridiculously expensive. That's when I'm motivated to find a look-alike for much less, and the computer makes looking and finding a cheaper version of a similar design much easier. Don't get discouraged; there's always a good replacement if I look hard enough.

It's always a 'party' when I happen upon a bedding set this inexpensive that has the potential to outlive your car loan--now, that's impressive, indeed.

Seriously though, I can see this same bed set working with any number of fun accessories, lighting and wall art; throw in a fin accentor area rug and you've one happy, sunshiny space your girl-to teen will love; just change out a few posters and you're good to go until your girl's next craze-phase.

How neat is that?

You can also influence the appearance of bedding with the addition of sheets. Bedding that lacks enough orange or orange that's a shade or two off can be brought into your desired spectrum by adding a top sheet a turning down the comforter to expose the orange. Throw pillows can do the trick as well.

For bedding that's lacking vibrancy, add bright orange accessories. If it's too much orange, dilute it with white.

Experiment with color until you're satisfied. It''s your space; make it truly your own!

Solids are a great way to make a space your space. While the solid orange comforter above seems less than exciting, you have every decor option available to you.

With solids you can decorate a kid's, teen's or adult's bedroom with the same bed set.

Once upon a time, I loathed white walls. But those were the days when I was woefully mistaken and here's one fabulous example of how white walls work well--extremely well.

With the energy this orange and white comforter set betrays, walls of any color aren't necessary if you're not able or up to painting. It's the blank-slate walls that allow the bedding to shine tenfold. I love it.

Don't you?
