Use accents, fabric to add room color

 Q: I am hooked on my pure-white super-soft bed sheets, expensive but worth every penny. How can I get some pattern and color without replacing the sheets? My budget is limited.

A: The biggest investment in your bedroom should be your mattress, and then your sheets. Go for the best quality you can afford, and you will enjoy the nightly benefits of a restful and rejuvenating sleep. You can bring style to the room in many ways, starting with the accent pillows and blankets. Fabric designs and colors change annually, showing off what's new for the season. You can shop at your local bedding and home stores for ready-made products. Another option is to check out fabric stores in your area or online. I guarantee the selection will inspire you!
