Need help with modern bedding
Permalink Closed

The bedding can have other colors as well, but green (preferable kelly green) and/or blue (any saturated shade) should be the star colors.


I've looked at IKEA (too kitsch), Crate and Barrel/Pottery Barn (neither is exactly modern), Overstock (didn't see anything right) and Dwell (design is right, colors are probably too muted)...I have no idea where else to look.



Please help! I need to find two different sets that will be able to look good in the same house. BF and I have two separate apartments but are starting to put feelers out ISO a good 2BR condo or small house.


ETA: I started searching through all the websites on the database (bless the shopping database! ) and I found some examples of kind of what I'm looking for. nothing is hitting the nail on the head though.


These are from Bed Bath and Beyond.

Not sure how you feel about retro Marimekko prints but the colors are really vibrant. I know Finnstyle and Kiitos Marimekko sell Marimekko bedding online.

Not yet...the Target one is a possibility, but I'd rather get something that's higher quality. I want to love my sheets since I spend 1/3 of my time there.


I do like almost all of this stuff, but I showed BF and he thinks it's too muted. I can see what he means. I'm looking for a multi-colored bright, graphic thing with a lot of impact.


The Marimekko was the right level of brightnesss but BF says he's not sleeping on flowers. I can't blame him...we've both had old school antique icky floral bedding through most of our childhoods. I don't want to push the point of "but these are DIFFERENT, honey!"


I'm going to try higher end modern furniture stores next and see what they suggest.

I understand the apples are random - but I thought they were cool, so I included them

I lean toward classic/modern- and for some reason I am not loving anything I have found.  I do like to play with colors though.  So I may go with something from Dwell (because my boyfriend LOVES geometrics - math teacher) and I may just play with color.


let me know how it works out for you!
