Bed linen trends are always changing, experts reveal
31/01/2011
There have been several changes over the years to the way people choose to dress their beds, a number of design experts have revealed.
Speaking to commercialappeal.com, they suggested that with so many options available, standard duvets are no longer the only choice for homeowners.
Jill Hertz, who owns an interior design company, said "fussy comforters" are well and truly a thing of the past.
"Now, comforters are out and bedspreads are in. And duvets are not gone, but they're not the top of the bed. We're using more blankets or tailored bedspreads," she told the website.
Ms Hertz emphasised that functionality is the key when choosing items for the bed, with people who feel the cold at night needing to opt for a duvet or something similar.
It was recently suggested by the Edinburgh Evening News that parents are no longer buying character bed linen for their children and are instead opting for much simpler designs.
