It’s layers weather, which is as much a part of fall as Halloween kitsch and an invasion of gourds. Transitioning summer clothes with added pieces is an effective, seasonal way to adjust to the crispness of autumn. It secures style and comfort, a necessity that also applies to bedding without the hassle of losing those added pieces in the backseat of a cab. Dressing a bedroom with a grouping of blankets and textiles will style the room and achieve a comfortable haven during the year’s best sleeping weather.

Rules of Layering the Bed
As with any technique, following simple guidelines keep the bedroom from looking like a themed room in a Victorian bed & breakfast.
Combination of Light and Heavy Linens
Evaluate your current inventory of bedding and pillows. Begin making the bed with soft, comfortable sheets in durable materials like cotton and flannel. Add a substantive goose down comforter cocooned in a duvet. Top off with a throw for a designed effect with practical use.
Like-minded items keep the scheme from looking too manic.
Choose a Scheme
Settle on a style and build on it. The featured scheme with black as the primary color, along with geometric patterns, involved a bit of detective work. Pinterest and google searches assisted in finding items that share the clean look, along with viewing the latest inventory of favored vendors. Pull in items that have a subtle match, which is better than a branded result by buying from a single outfitter. An addition of a colorful accent brings in character.
Easy to Swop Out Looks
Light textiles supplement bulky quilts, such as a versatile fouta that masquerades as a throw. As the nights get cooler, substitute for a heavier woolen or plush blanket.
Deviating from the color palette adds an exciting style element.
Season’s Must-Have Add
Warm, textural pieces like a soft rug and accent pillows feel good to the touch, create comfortable ambience and reinforce the pattern and color story.
Research different vendors to source pieces that support the chosen scheme.
