Choosing the right bedding can make a huge impact in your bedroom. We love the look of beautiful, layered bedding in neutrals, so that you can easily swap out the colors and style for any changing seasons. Investing in quality items will ensure you’ll be able to use your bed set for years to come. Here are the pieces we think you need:

-A quality, all-season down comforter: If you prefer a vegan alternative, there are many polyester alternatives, but an all-season down comforter is a really great investment if you’re comfortable with feathers. Look for one called an “all-weather”, which will stay cool in the spring and warm in the winter seasons. We like the Hotel collection from Macy’s, because they are really well-made and durable through many wash cycles. Remember to follow the instructions on the tag to preserve it and keep it fluffy!
-A duvet cover or quilt: A duvet cover will keep your comforter fresh and clean, but many people opt for a quilt instead of a cover because of the ease of layering. We love the linen collection from Anthropologie, which is pricier than most, but SO beautiful. They have worn-in wrinkles, which means it looks fine without ironing. If you want a pure white, sharper style, look for Pottery Barn’s classic bedding, which is more affordable and made of cotton.
-Shams and pillows: Look for a mix of shapes for visual interest, but try to keep them in pairs, such as two regular shams, and two euro shams (euro shams are for large, square shaped pillows) which layer so nicely and are perfect for watching tv in the evenings.
-A throw blanket: A chunky or textured throw blanket will finish off your bed-set with a polished touch. Pretty grey or taupe is a color that will match any style or decor, and can also move seamlessly into a living room or sitting room area. We love the inexpensive versions from Target, which are under $100 and machine washable!
