Trellis Bedding and Comforter Sets

I really got excited about these oh-so-popular lattice/trellis bedding sets by Trina Turk for two reasons--well, more than two but I'll try and keep it simple:

The model rooms, here are amazing and they're the perfect example of how you can take away plenty of ideas for your own bedroom.

Aren't the lattice or trellis headboards above an amazing contribution to your pattern and decor palette? If you're not that decorator savvy, model rooms are perfect take-aways, where you can mirror the look for minimal investment and little work.

I've found big box craft stores have many similar glassware accessories like the vases. Take advantage of their weekly coupons; they give generous discounts on downloadable phone apps or online.

I love how the designers have used contrasting colors like lime green and turquoise for an amazing look with a few, simple pieces, starting with these Trina Turk trellis/lattice bedding sets.

These rooms have a lot of bang for less.

The navy blue and yellow trellis/lattice comforter set above, has a warm, yet sunny nature. The yellow makes an ideal contrast with the deep blue and we're sure to take notice of the two 'polar opposites' on the spectrum.

I love the simplicity of both lattice/trellis patterns in the bedding sets above. I suggest using non-descript (solids are best) sheets and pillowcases underneath your duvet or comforter. Ideally, turning or rolling down your bed covers to expose any contrasting bedding works well to add dimension to your focal point.

Notice how the bed, here boasts all the colors and patterns while the surrounds are devoid of color; this is a great way to balance highly visual bedding like the lattice/trellis pattern. I'll talk more about using patterns and color below and while I would add a yellow or turquoise accent pillows to this duvet set, isn't that grey bedding purely inviting?

Both lattice and trellis patterns boast weaves and intersections of lines and more lines throughout the piece--whatever that may be. It's best to keep to either a rounded or straight pattern, as each betrays a different 'voice' with rounded edges being part of a softer palette and straight lines a modern, straight-edge design.

I love the softness of this blue pillow with a rounded-trellis pattern.

I know, I can get a wee bit, er . . . creative (?) with my titles but I couldn't think of a more fitting approach to introducing the concept of using plenty of white for the most freedom with color.

While this duvet set looks less visually stimulating than its relatives above, you'll get your color by adding your pick of hues in accent pillows, window panels, side chairs; the options for color are endless when using white-based bedding.

Notice the peek of purple behind the lattice pillowcase. Your bedroom can take on whatever personality you're game for--in a moment's notice.

Too, the modern, metal night table, here can be replaced with a floating shelf table to a black lacquer nightstand. If you're likely to completely redo your space every now and then, consider neutral bedding like this duvet set.

You'll have the lattice pattern but the freedom to go anywhere with it on a whim.

Much like pairing the grey and white trellis duvet with plain accessories, sheet sets with your favorite pattern (like this one) are an ideal mate for plain duvets and comforters.

It's best to either roll or fold your outer cover down, exposing your sheets. This practice creates a warm and welcoming bed--especially with traditional decor.

Too, you can get by with a budget-friendly comforter using loud patterns everywhere else. I can see this sheet set paired with a lattice/trellis pattered rug, like the one above.

Withe the lattice pattern, balance is essential; I'll talk about that next. But I'm lovin' this light and airy sheet set; it's design is complex yet casual. Perfect for the bedroom.
