Bedding and rugs are the visual anchors of any bedroom – they can either make or break the overall feel, simply because they’re the first things we see. Particularly their colours, fabrics, and size proportions.

Together with Dip & Doze, we’re here to guide you through 4 simple ways you can achieve your perfect cosy setup. Let’s get into it!

Dynamic Colour Play

Pairing bold colours with complimentary shades works brilliantly when done right. Start with your favourite dominant bedding hue, followed by a complementary (accented) or analogous (similar) coloured rug that creates dimension throughout the room.

Combining different textures with dynamic colour combinations can further add depth to your abode. For example, we love pairing viscose rugs with organic cotton bedding!

Pattern with Purpose

If you have a plain, muted bedding set and you’re craving some detail, why not opt for a beautifully patterned rug to uplift your spirits every time you walk in? We think stripes or florals achieve this perfectly!

Also, be sure to note that if you have a king-size or larger bed, to consider a larger rug to prevent it from appearing lost in space. Similarly, pair a taller bed with a larger rug to help balance the space.

Balancing out the Bold

Love a patterned bedding set? Geometric patterns like stripes or stars are timeless in their quest to define a room with rich character. These pair well with plain rugs – helping to avoid visual clutter and highlighting the patterns of the adornment.

The Art of Simplicity

Last but not least, we never forget the importance of neutral shades like oat, grey, and white! Just like mixing colour shade variations can add depth – pairing together balanced neutral tones can create a world of sophistication. Light sprinkles of your favourite colour through accessories like cushions or feature walls? Perfect!

We love pairing white organic cotton bedding with a dense wool or silk rug – creating a layered, tactile experience that builds on the muted colour scheme.

Remember that the goal is to achieve visual balance – which is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. So, always go with what makes you happiest in your own home!
