Spring Bedding

Do you change out your bedding in the Spring?

Other than removing heavy blankets, I use the same bedspread and pillows all year. Both bedrooms in our house have solid neutral color comforters with some decorative tonal stitching. I purchased printed pillows to add some color.

Here are 2 spring bedding ideas that I thought were pretty. My DH would hate both of these. He definitely dislikes anything too cutesy or feminine.

I don't like the fuzzy pillow, but I like this colorful happy print. I also like the dark dresser with the fresh flowers. I would choose different artwork.

I really like this print. The wall color and the entire room look very relaxing. Love it.

Hi @wilma I do change out my bedding with the seasons. I have a lightweight blue and white comforter and white chenille shams that I use for spring/summer.

I like the colors in both of those photos. I'm very partial to the aqua color on the walls and I totally agree that the fuzzy pillow would not be something I would choose.

Yes, ours is a cold climate so off come flannel sheets and heavy quilts. I put cotton sheets and lightweight comforters on the master bed and guest bed.

Yes, we live in the Midwest, so just this month I changed out the Winter bedding to our Spring/Summer comforter.....I don't change out sheets, the ones I have are year round, but do change from a heavier comforter in our bedroom as well the guest rooms!

@wilma Love the 2nd comforter set especially, so soft and pretty.

Bedroom #2 is very similar to my guest room in the spring/summer. It's crisp, light and airy. Just what is needed in Nebraska after a long, cold winter with heavy down comforters!

@wilma I love the fuzzy pillow!!! ( LOL ) I have a pillow obsession anyway. I normally change out my bedding in the fall, that's my big cleaning time of year with windows and all. I have different weight comforters but they actually can stay on the bed year round. The summer months we just fold it over the end of the bed. I never change them seasonally as they are all happy colors. It's the pillows I love changing around, so fun I drive DH nuts with it.

I do change out my bedding. I use a coral color for my guest room in fall and change to plaids for winter/Christmas. I have white matelasse for that room in summer.

I use linen-colored coverlet on my duvets with (matching) dust ruffle and matching pillow shams in the size of bed (queen) and European shams but I change out the throws that I put at foot of bed. I have a very real-looking mink throw that I use for Christmas season.

DH bedroom has quilted navy- and linen-colored coverlet on duvet with white shams, white box pleat dust ruffle and very masculine artwork and chest. He likes his. He picked it out and he does not want me to change it. (Men!). If he gets ready to change or whatever, I will. Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn.

I have a whole closet filled from top to bottom with bed dressings, comforters, feather beds, bedspreads, quilts, etc. I love having bunches of them and changing when the notion strikes me.

I have a reversable, lightweight quilt. Same deep seafoam green color highlighted on both sides but lighter pattern on one side and heavier pattern on other side. Works for me.

Both rooms are lovely especially the second one, so pretty and appealing.

I do change my bedding when winter is over. I use flannel sheets during the cold months so of course they go and I use my regular linens. Also I use a light weight quilt. I also put up my sheer curtains.

I change out my fleece sheets for cotton in the Spring.

@wilma

I agree with what you said regarding both photos. Can't stand the fuzzy pillow & I'd replace the art. 2nd photo is definitely more my taste. Very relax looking, bright & cheery - just visualize the breeze coming in. It's a happy room.

I use to switch the blankets & bedspreads twice a year along with the curtains. Now, I only switch the blankets. My 2 kitty sisters have snagged so many of them, I just tolerate them now. I did purchase a new quilt a few years ago & decided against opening it until down the road ...

I have five queen size beds and I have a lot of queen size bedding including sheets, blankets, quilts and spreads.

I change the complete bedding in my bedroom about every month or so. I wash my sheets at least weekly, and about once a month I wash the mattress pad, blankets and quilts. When I do, I change things out.

In the summertime, I wash the complete bedding more often. I would be bored with the same bedding for a whole year or even a season. Did I mention that I have to behave myself when it comes to bedding and towels?...I tend to buy way too much

Nope. I live in the desert southwest, no flannel sheets, no heavy blankets, I use the same comforter or two year round but never need to sleep under it. Barely have a blanket, only a throw for when the a/c gets a bit chilly.

@wilma Oooooh I love both of these. I love the colors and light airy look of the first one. Love the whole blue room and print on that one too. Both are my esthetic ....not too printy, but feminine, romantic without being too much, prints.

Do you know where they were both from?

I do update for spring, and for summer. I segue', just like with my "transistional wardrobe" in between seasons...as you start to lighten up...sometimes you use last seasons' clothing in a lighter way and move into the next season. That's what I did this year with winter into spring bedding.

I recently went from my ivory chenille bedspread for winter with matching chenille shams...to a super soft microfiber, sunny yellow, lightweight duvet set with shams I got on HSN years ago. I covered the comforter I had left plain at the end of the bed all winter, and changed out to the matching yellow shams. So now the bed is ivory chenille spread, with the yellow touches. Lightened up to my spring accent pillows too.

In summer I will use a lighter quilt set I had gotten on Q years ago when they used to do those quilt shows. That one is one of my favorite sets...ivory with soft mauve/yellow/greens embroidered heart motif with some flowers. Sounds gaudy or cutesy, it's neither....it's a light design. Came with matching quilted/embroidered shams, and another sham set, just cotton, with ruffle and a touch of mauve trim to match the rest of the set.

I change again in late summer/early fall...another set I have.

I will say I've had some years I've changed more often, some years I've kept the same look longer. But i have my favorites and I might as well use and rotate things.

Both of these are not my style as I'm not into flowers/plants in decor or clothing items.

I do change out my bedding. I use a down comforter in the winter and need something lightweight for spring, summer and fall.

I don't have storage space for seasonal comforters. I use the same one year round. The only thing I change is removing a heavy blanket in the spring for a lighter weight throw on top of the bed (I use it nightly on top of the comforter).

I don't change out our quilt for seasons.

These rooms are very pretty. LOVE the wall colors.

All I switch is blankets. Haven't done it yet, still too cold here.

I love pillows too! My DH doesn't understand buying new decorative pillows.

Sorry. The photos didn't say.
