When it comes to home comforts, few things beat curling up in a cozy, cloud-like bed. Given that this week marks the official start of fall, we could think of no better time than the present to upgrade our sleeping space for the cooler days ahead.

Whether you’re looking for a simple seasonal upgrade or a complete cozy overhaul, we’re here to help. Below, we share our tried-and-true layering tips and a few ways to incorporate our favorite fall bedding trends.

1. Modern Florals

There’s a reason why floral bedding will always remain a cozy classic. While this pattern isn’t new, we’ve been seeing a fresh take on floral in earth-inspired hues like auburn, chamomile, and juniper green. To get the look, pick a print and color palette, then layer in solid bedding, such as a crisp white sheet set or neutral duvet cover, to create a clean and contemporary backdrop for the floral patterning.

Styling Tip: Incorporate different shades of the same color for a modern, monochromatic look.

2. Gingham Reimagined

Layering gingham bedding for fall is all about achieving a harmonious balance between the classic gingham patterning and other bold bedding designs. For a modern take, use gingham as an accent, featuring it in one or two layers, such as the pillowcase or sheet set.

Styling Tip: For a modern maximalist look, pair gingham bedding with other classic patterns like floral, geometric, or stripes.

3. Earthy Solids

Embrace fall hues with warm, earthy tones like deep oranges, rich reds, warm browns, and olive greens. Incorporating these colors into your bedding through duvet covers, pillowcases, and throw blankets, can instantly evoke a cozy autumn ambiance.

Styling Tip: Layer textured bedding with raised patterns, quilting, or tufting to create visual variety to your solid bed-scape.
