Rustic Lodge Bedding Will Add An Evergreen Essence Into Your Home

Today the choice of bedding themes is huge. A bedroom can change its personal statement very quickly and stand apart from what is going on in the rest of the home. Bedding lodge is a homespun look that is suitable for the outdoors person within us. Design choices include forest animals such as moose, black bear and deer. Nature themes too are popular such as the pine cone and the tall evergreens

The outdoor theme provides an outdoorsy coziness that reminds us of the log cabins families would go to for their holidays in the summer. Nature’s themes of moose, deer and black bears would be seen permanently imprinted into the wallpaper. The bedspread would be a simple lumberjack plaid in red or green. Additional natural hues of moss green, fall browns and sky blues brought in that reassuring outdoor motif.

As soon as manufacturers started printing images on sheets, the choices in bedding motifs multiplied. Animals can be found on sheets, pillow cases, shams, bed spreads and comforters. More wildlife can be added to a room than ever before. It is easy to add too many so that the room will feel too busy so a word of caution to keep your lodge bedding simple.

Savvy interior decorators claim that less is more. Once the theme has been established it is time to construct the room around it. If a hunter occupies the room they would probably be happy with a bear, moose or deer answer.

The chosen animal can be displayed around the bed skirt and sheets, leaving the comforter relatively plain. Or an alternative choice is to have a busy comforter with the animal motif printed on it, and leave the other components of the bed furnishings free of graphics.

Accessorizing can be done with table lamps, country style furniture and posters. A simple hickory rocking chair could be added to the room. Pine and log furniture would also look suitable such as a pine headboard. The decorator is only limited by their imagination.

Quilts made by hand add a very customized touch to the lodge bedding. These are quite expensive today if they have been properly crafted by hand. They bring a good price if resold in the antique shops. Multi-colored and busy the quilt is gay and bright. Keeping the bedding toned down with solid colors will work well together with the quilt.

For winter comfort the sheets can be made of flannel. These provide an added dimension of warmth and coziness. Flannel sheets keep the warmth that the body creates contained in the bed and on the sleeping body. Imagine wearing flannel pajamas and the warmth they provide. The concept is the same.

Lodge bedding sets is timeless. It is suitable for either men or women, boys or girls. The natural themes of wild animals and forest scenes brings to mind our desire to be outdoors and enjoy nature. The natural colors and calming themes of nature will provide that well balanced feeling one gets when they have caught their bear or fish.
