Summer might just be getting started, but the styles of summer 2022 have been hard at work! One of the best parts of working at the shop is seeing what new fabrics, patterns and designs make their way to the showroom floor each season. This summer has been all about color! From bold and untamed to classic pastels, hues of all kinds are having a heyday!
I don’t know about you, but nothing makes me want to stay in bed all day lounging more than a rainy day. Seeing as spring is upon us, the drizzle of April showers won’t be going anywhere soon! This means, it is time to refresh and re-comfy (yes, I made up that word) our bedrooms for optimal rainy-day snoozing. I have been loving our new beds and bedding designs that the Nell Hill’s team have been creating on our second floor. If I had to pick one trend that is slipping into my dreams it is the ever-classic, beautifully timeless combination of Blue and White.
As cold weather approaches (and then leaves again and comes back…thanks Midwest!) it is really getting me excited about the upcoming season, and I don’t mean the holiday season! Sure, this time of year, it is most common to be fantasizing of dancing gumdrops, snow-covered trees and the cheery old man in red coming to leave presents, but I’m dreaming of – you guessed it – PLAID. Yes, it is finally what I like to refer to as “plaid season”!
While I love looking at beautiful bedding during all times of the year, it is especially rewarding during these upcoming colder months! Our second floor is such a delight to behold with all the textiles and colors that grace our beds. However, it is more than the duvets that catch my eye! I have also noticed a big trend towards wood bed frames and uniquely upholstered headboards. I have brought in some unique (and dare I say, bold) styles that are sure to steal the show from the pillows, duvets and coverlets we love so much!
For me, with comfort often comes clutter. My nightstand turns into a neglected library overrun with books that I’m too tired to read and my eye glasses seem to get lost among the fray of water cups, phone chargers and decorative tchotchkes when I need them the most (although I maintain that my glasses have the ability to move on their own). To keep what I deem necessities within arm’s reach (what’s the point of relaxing if I have to stand up to retrieve something) and to keep my husband from disappearing under a pile of decorative pillows and design magazines, I knew I had to make some changes.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend full of relaxation, good health, and plenty of video chats with loved ones! This week is bringing chillier weather and I can’t wait to snuggle up under my duvet! As promised here is part two of our Spring bedding roundup.
I’m taking Spring Cleaning to a new level while I formulate a plan to relocate nearly everything in the room for a completely fresh start. This means new furniture (YAY!), new bedding, and new accessories. Because my loving husband can take only so much talk of duvets and pillow fills and color palettes, I’m sharing my inspiration from the shop here with you, dear reader!
A few weekends ago, I spoke with a lovey mother-daughter duo who were in shopping for some new bedding. The daughter was headed to Kentucky for her freshman year and they were searching for the perfect shade of blue to show off her new school pride. It got me thinking about how bedding can transform a cold, impersonal room and how fun it could be to showcase collegiate looks and dorm room design tips!
