Coordinating Your Bedding and Drapery

At Laura's Draperies, Bedspreads, and More, our team gets the difference between “matchy-matchy” bedroom decor and beautifully coordinated bedding and drapery: The first can feel forced, while the second flows naturally and is the best solution for a polished finish. Yet it’s not an easy task if you’ve never done this before—no worries, we’re here to help.

The Benefits of Coordinating Your Bedding and Drapery

Coordinating your bedding and drapery creates harmonious aesthetics that prevent bedrooms from feeling fragmented. When these elements are complementary, each piece contributes to a unified design for a sense of flow. Whether you’re working with king or queen bedding, coordinating those with drapery creates layers of visual interest; the choices allow your style to shine through in your design.

Tips for Coordinating Bedding and Drapery

These five tips will put you on the right road toward designing a stunning bedroom sanctuary:

  1. Select a Color Palette: This should reflect the mood you want for your bedroom. Soft neutrals create a calming atmosphere, while bold ones bring in energy and character. Once you have a base color, you can add complementary or contrasting shades to create interest.
  2. Mix Patterns Wisely: Patterns require careful balance. If your king bedding or queen bedding features detailed designs, pair it with simple or solid drapery to avoid overwhelming the space. If you prefer a more minimalistic bedspread, drapery with subtle stripes or florals is ideal. Similar pattern scales work best together; for example, pair small floral patterns with larger, bolder ones.
  3. Match Textures: Incorporating different textures adds depth to bedroom decor, but beware of too many contrasting fabrics that clash. If you have a soft, cotton bedspread, drapery in a complementary texture like linen creates a sense of balance.
  4. Use Custom Choices for the Best Fit: This gives you control over the size, fabric, and finish for a perfect match. Custom-made options are tailored to exact dimensions, which is useful in bedrooms with large or uniquely shaped windows. They also offer more colors, patterns, and textures.
  5. Coordinate Bedding and Drapery Based on Bed Size: Fuller, layered drapery can balance a room with king bedding or queen bedding. Lighter drapery that doesn’t overpower the space is often better suited for smaller beds.

Why Custom Bedding and Drapery Work Best

Custom bedding and drapery offer unmatched style, fabric, and fit flexibility. With any upgrades you choose, you’ll get the exact sizes and finishes you need. You won’t need to measure or install the curtains yourself; professionals handle that part, and your curtains will hang beautifully.

Just as importantly, the fabric and material choices are of the highest quality; you’ll see and feel the difference. And since they’re more durable than mass-produced options, you won’t need to replace your bedding and drapery as often—unless you want to change them out.
