What is the best bedding material for a white bed?
A white bed is a timeless classic, it brings to mind the world’s finest hotels and projects from the rooms created by interior designers. When choosing your bedding material, natural materials share white’s appetite for elegance. When asked about her choice, German interior designer, Constanze Ladner had this to say. 'Either 100% linen or 100% cotton,' reveals Constanze.
In terms of color or style, it is best to lean into your personal preferences to ensure you are happy to see your bedding every day. Blues, navies, and whites are a natural pairing, but you can also go for neutral tones for a more organic appeal. When selecting your material, also consider the thread count of your fabric and the origin of your fabric, Belgian flax linen and Egyptian cotton are the best in class. Go above 300 for your thread count to ensure your material is durable, soft, and long-lasting.
