2021: The most popular bedding colour revealed
White bedsheets might sound like a bedroom staple, however, according to new research by property rental specialists Essential Living they aren’t the most popular bedding colour in the UK
Essential Living compiled research from bedding sold across the UK’s top suppliers to uncover the most popular bedding colour. The research found that Mrs Hinch’s favourite shade of grey was the nation’s most popular bedsheet colour.
It was a close battle with grey only just beating white to the title as the best-selling bedding colour with 27 per cent. White bedding was found to be used to make up only 23 per cent of our beds.
Blue came in as the third most popular colour. It’s not a shocker to learn that bedding in neutral shades of white, grey and blue are the best-sellers.
Timeless and effortless, these calming hues ‘harmonise perfectly’ whilst adapting to any environment with unfused serenity. However, colour expert Momtaz Begum-Hossain warns against playing it too safe with neutral colours in the bedroom.
‘It can make a room feel clinical, rather than comforting. Bedrooms are a special place that deserves more thought than the ‘easy option’, so instead o
f beige, let your senses guide you to other colours that make you feel calm,’ she suggests.
Relationship expert Jen Kaarlo agrees, emphasising the importance of considering the use of colour in a bedroom.
‘Think of the bedroom as a cocoon that always allows for the possibility of a brighter day ahead,’ she says. Nature-inspired prints are also a must-have, with prints inspired by florals and foliage to bring an element of the outdoors in.
