The Hunt For Cute Bedding

Back in October, I was struck with the sudden urge to refresh our apartment. (Didn't everyone get swept up in some form of Pandemic Nesting?)

Specifically, I had a nagging fixation on the smallest room in our place: Our painfully boring-looking bedroom. After seven years of living here, we were long overdue to show it some decorative love.

My first priority was finding ways to soften, brighten, and warm up the space because it gets hardly any natural light. Considering our bed dominates 90% of the floor's real estate (I swear the room is MINUSCULE), fresh and easy bedding seemed like a crucial update.

In my search, I discovered Urban Outfitters is a veritable hunting ground for lovely home decor. They basically make all your cozy boho bedroom dreams come true.

I MEAN...

 

 

 

Who knew! (Not me, apparently.)

I looove the calm atmosphere and all those mixed textures. (Corduroy! Velvet! Sherpa! Tufting!) Let's not forget the pretty color palette -- pastels, washed jewel tones, neutrals, with a sprinkling of interesting prints. Ultimately, I chose a tufted duvet set (in white) with a chunky teddy blanket. The quality is pretty damn impressive in-person. Weeks later, I'm still genuinely surprised by how much I like it all. 

Loads of customer reviews mention that the colors they saw online do not match what they received. To which I reply: It's Urban Outfitters lol of course you're not getting exactly what you saw online. Regardless, the store has a pretty lax return policy, should you be irrevocably disappointed.

My final thought? UO's prices are unbeatable if you're looking for thoughtful, current, stylish design. (Believe me -- I did hours of digital leg work.) Even if you're just shopping around for ideas, their merchandising is a treasure trove of inspiration for soft, laid back bedroom decor.

Next, I want to get my hands on these crescent moon-shaped mirrors from Coeur d'Artichaut, a series of sweet prints, and a pile of decorative throw pillows (for Reggie to inevitably claim as his own) ;)
