The Bed Threads Team’s Favorite Linen Color Combinations

Can't decide on a color combo? See what the people who know them best think.

Choosing a linen color combination for your bedroom can be an overwhelming decision. Whether you prefer a monochrome look, to pair two colors together, or get creative with three, there are countless ways to mix and match hues to perfectly reflect your style.

If you're finding the decision tricky, we recommend you; think about your personal style, consider your home's overall decor scheme, and identify the vibe of your room. Another option is to turn to the people who know the Bed Threads bedding best; our team members.

From the classic Oatmeal & White combo to our brand new Cacao & Hazelnut duo, these are the linen color combinations we keep coming back to.

Meg Harris, Global PR & Partnerships Manager

I love to change up my linen colour combinations to suit the season and my mood, but I always come back to my favourite Oatmeal and White. It gives my bedroom a calming, serene vibe that instantly relaxes me.

Wendy Fraser, Operations Director

I love the combination of sage and white. I bought this for our guest/spare room after seeing the combination on the BT website. (Both colours in the pillowcase and Sage Duvet/white sheets). It is so fresh, clean and light.

Ally Baxter, Customer Service

So I have a bit of a rainbow on my bed at the moment which looks really nice; Rosewater fitted sheet, Lilac flat sheet, Oatmeal duvet cover, Drift pillowcase set, Oatmeal pillowcase set. I actually didn't plan this, it was just because my white set was in the dryer and I wanted to go to bed so I put my spares on. It actually looks really good and will be keeping this combo on!

Genevieve Rosen, Co-founder

I know I'm only supposed to pick one, but I have two bundles on high rotation at the moment. The first, of course, is our brand-new Cacao & Hazelnut combo. These are perfect for (Australian) winter. As my bedroom is quite neutral, decorated with mostly wooden furniture, these two hues end up creating a cosy, tonal look.

On the complete other end of the colour spectrum, I have been loving the effect of a Pinstripe sheet set with a White Duvet and a second set of pillowcases. It feels really crisp and fresh, maybe because previously I would have styled those two tones in the reverse.

Nikita Ganatra, CRM Specialist

My favourite colour combo is Rust & Terracotta. It makes my room feel warm and cosy (even in this cold weather). It surprisingly works well with a touch of green decor (which I couldn't let go of).

Ashleigh Hogan, Customer Service Manager

My current favourite combo is Limoncello and Pink Clay. It's so bright and summery, and during winter it's so lovely to bring some colour into my bedroom to get me through the rain and cooler months.
