White bedding has long been the stylist secret for creating a fresh and luxurious bedroom. Layering white bedding adds visual interest and depth while the monochromatic palette maximizes light and gives the illusion of a larger space – what’s not to love? During these winter months, make your bed as warm and welcoming as possible with snuggly layers in a palette guaranteed to brighten your space. To get your room as bright and arctic-inspired as possible, here are four tips to inspire winter white.

Mix and Match Your Bedding Basics

When pairing white with white, texture goes a long way. Mixing Brushed Cotton with textures like shearling and Cloud Linen Gauze changes up the look for a more relaxed bed.

Experiment with Hues

White on white will always be classic. But adding in similar colorways like bonelight grey and ivory breaks up white while also complementing it — layer on a textured neutral with a Waffle Cotton Throw.

Brighten the Entire Space

Brighten your space beyond the bed with floor to ceiling white walls for a bright Icelandic look. Add an Ivory Braided Wool Rug to make for a soft landing on especially cold mornings.

Don't Forget to Layer

Adding several layers to your white bed, ties it all together. A well-layered bed is inviting, plush and cozy. Whether it's a quilt layered between your top sheet and duvet or an Organic Cloud Cotton Quilt folded at the foot of your bed, the cold can’t find you under piles of toasty, insulating inserts and quilts.
