Sleep Well with Mismatched Bedding in Pastel Shades

The matching duvet cover and pillowcase set look a bit of a match. So, if you’re tired of a nice and neat way your bed is decorated, try the idea of a mismatch. Choose a pillowcase that is different from a duvet cover and layer it with pillows and throws for a relaxed, original look. Combine that with the latest trends in pastels to take your bedroom in a soft, sensual direction.

Layer the Appearance

Mismatched schemes work best when styles are abundant, so don’t hesitate. The combination of sheets and duvet covers is further enhanced by adding plenty of pastel shades of pillows. Here, the cereal bag pillowcase adds a bit of contrasting texture.

Walk the Light and the Dark

Pastel mismatched bedding can be a great compliment to the dark tones and rustic materials used elsewhere in the bedroom. Here, pink cushions and cushions in pastel tones add softness to the wooden headboard and form a beautiful frame with the inky grey statement wall.

Stir in Some Pastel Greys

Pastel greys pair perfectly with pastel pinks and blues. It adds a bit of depth to mismatched bedding and prevents real pastels from looking too sweet.

Create Some Calm

Pastels beautifully soften bold accent colors or patterns. On this mismatched bed, the hard lines of the blue criss-cross design on the blanket are smoothed by pillows, blankets, and pillowcases, all in soft shades of blue and gray. The check and chevron pattern continue the graphic theme, but the muted colors ensure a soft overall look.

Anchor with Dark Accents

Pastel bedding looks soothing and attractive, but to give it some edge, just use one or two elements of darker tones. Here, moss-green pillowcases complement the soft bedding without clashes. They create a focal point in the bed and in the room, preventing it from drifting away in its own ventilation scheme.

Add Some Patterns

The colors and patterns on the bed don’t match, creating a true homemade look. Combining pastels with patterns also helps to give them some charm and detail.

Neon Lights Flash, Speed Up

If you’re worried that pastel tones will make your scheme look like a little girl’s bedroom, there’s an easy solution. Use neon lights to change those ice cream tones. The bold cherry color on these pillows maintains the pink theme but pushes it towards punk rock rather than candy store style.

Get Silky

Choose pieces in smooth, sexy fabrics that give a very tight feel to bedding in pastel tones that don’t match. Satin and silk are obvious choices, bringing an alluring feel to a simple pastel scheme. Layer them up for a generous, luxurious look.

Turn to Vintage

Add some old-fashioned integrity to your mismatched scheme with vintage bedding. From floral pillows to crocheted blankets, vintage pieces often feature warm, pastel tones with a vintage touch.

Throw Away the Duvet

Don’t get me wrong; The duvet was fantastic! But they are so everywhere that we often forget to decorate our beds with something else. The combination of sheets, blankets, and deep, inviting comforters is a fresh alternative to the familiar duvet, and also offers great potential for layering pastel tones and patterns.
