Sheets - What colours(s) are yours?

Everyone here fir as long as I can remember have white bed linen. It’s easy to keep clean and always looks and feels fresh to me. However, I am debating whether I should buy some lovely gingham sheets I have seen. I need a second set hence why I need some soon.

I have a pale grey so that I can tell them apart from my daughter's sheets which are white (she has a small rather than standard double). Not sure if you mean all bedding as we do have patterned/coloured duvet covers - adds a bit of colour to the room as we rent and can't change the wall colour. Gingham sheets sound very nice.

I've just bought this colour, which is lovely and goes fine with a pink/green floral duvet set in what was a slightly too pink room. V good quality

White...is there another colour 😉

These are my sheets (which those swine at Adairs no longer stock). Flannelette and very cosy.

Master bedroom - light grey set and a duck egg set.
Children’s rooms - light blue sets.

I can’t stand white bedlinen, too much like a hospital.
Hate patterns and prints also.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 23/04/2023 13:24

Grey.. With a choice of grey duvet covers
After being in hospital many times in the past, white reminds me of that

Kyse · 23/04/2023 13:28

I have way too many Blush everything from bee pattern to checked, and patterned fitted sheets too
Probably about 20 sets

readbooksdrinktea · 23/04/2023 13:34

Black, grey or dark blue.

Flatandhappy · 23/04/2023 13:34

Anything except white because I never manage to keep them really white. Am currently into lovely patterned fitted sheets that contrast with my duvet covers.

wendywoopywoo222 · 23/04/2023 13:39

Aubergine

pensionconfusion · 23/04/2023 13:40

I used to buy white until I got a cat 😂

BirdChirp · 23/04/2023 15:03

White sheets but all kind of print pillowcases and duvets.

Spanielsarepainless · 23/04/2023 15:27

White, but stripey duvet cover and would be seriously tempted by a crisp gingham!

Lampzade · 23/04/2023 15:31

Always white , even in the dcs room

hexsnidgett · 23/04/2023 15:32

I did try for white, but the dc spilt things like food, makeup and ink on them Hmm scuzzers!
We now have navy.

GalileoHumpkins · 23/04/2023 15:36

Duck egg and teal.

We have such different perspectives: White linen reminds me of hotels!

Houseplantmad · 23/04/2023 15:39

I’ve got yellow gingham sheets from the white company which are 30 years old and still going strong.

TheFallenMadonna · 23/04/2023 15:43

I have gingham sheets and I love them. And some floral ones. I don't like matching sets of anything.

Laiste · 23/04/2023 15:45

White. Pure white and at least 1,000,000 thread count 😃

I will accept a texture pattern on the white. Like stripes you can see in certain lights or white on white dots.

Those are adorable!

All my sheets and bottom pillow slips are white. I have a cream duvet set, two white sets (with blue borders) and two duck egg blue sets. That's just for our bed. (I used to own a B&B and have a - clearly irrational - fear of running out of clean bedding 😂)

Hummusanddipdip · 23/04/2023 15:46

I have a grey set (bed sheet and pillow case) to go with a teal duvet cover and pillow cases. I also have the reverse (teal sheet, grey duvet)
My bedroom is teal and grey though.

Ds has a bright yellow bedsheet to go with a construction duvet set and a dark green one to go with his dinosaur set

Spare room is white.

Baldieheid · 23/04/2023 15:52

Light green or light grey.
