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’ve got purple for the purple set. Grey for grey and mustard set. Rest are white.

ASGIRC · 23/04/2023 16:16

I have several sets. Currently grey, but also have pink, mustard yellow and green.

longtompot · 23/04/2023 16:20

We have a white one, a dusky pink one and navy blue one, to go with various different patterned duvet covers, but I am liking the sound of ginghams sheets. Where are you getting them from @Theoldwoman ?

Gingham sounds good. I own no white bed linen nor white towels. Duvet covers are various (striped linen or light pattern in summer, William morris print in winter) fitted sheets, a mid grey.

Themildannnoyanceofsmaug · 23/04/2023 16:26

Usually white, but just bought some sage green ones for a change (as all of ours were getting a bit thin, and this colour will go with all our duvet sets), and I definitely prefer the look of them when the duvets are folded back to air the beds every day.

I used to have some with subtle stripes which were brilliant for not having to work out which way up to put them on.

LittleBearPad · 23/04/2023 16:26

White. The spare room has sage and is lovely.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 23/04/2023 16:27

Burgundy in the winter, cream in the spring and autumn, teal or blue in the summer.

100% white cotton..mine are all charity shop/parents and are ancient but fab. One pair dates from circa 1941 and is a zillion times better than anything I can buy today

Gatekeeper · 23/04/2023 16:44

Having said that- I am slightly hankerig after gingham pure linen sheets but the price is ££££££

fussychica · 23/04/2023 17:02

White on all beds.

BigFloppa · 23/04/2023 17:20

My bedding is all William Morris print

NotPrettyInPink23 · 23/04/2023 17:23

Sheets and bottom pillow cases white.
Duvet covers, whatever color for the season ( yep im that sad) as room is neutral so i like to have different colors for the seasons, currently nice yellows and whites

DappledThings · 23/04/2023 18:21

Each of my bedding sets has a sheet and lower pillow cases to match. The green swirly one has a green sheet, the grey and yellow flowers one has a grey sheet and the bright green with exotic birds on has a lovely dark plum sheet.

Anything but white. Hate white for bedding, walls, crockery or clothes.

DappledThings · 23/04/2023 18:25

Oh and towels as well. That's also on the list of things I hate being white!

I'm.always disappointed when I go to a nice hotel or holiday cottage and it's all nicely done up but the bedding and towels are boring white.

Fridaysgirl17 · 23/04/2023 18:26

Grey for one set, mustard & a forest green then for other duvet sets, I'm buying a new check duvet set & will get a blue or navy for that along with same colour pillow cases. I can't do white not with my 2 boys 🤦🏻‍♀️ & honestly I'm not a fan of white sheets

Okunevo · 23/04/2023 18:29

One is light grey, one green, and a brushed cotton one is white(ish) with cat paw prints that haven't washed out.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 23/04/2023 18:30

Todays are pale grey with pink and grey stripy duvet set

Sewingdufus · 23/04/2023 18:47

Mine, white fitted sheet with patterned duvet cover with a white background. Dds’ are some white sheets and a couple of pink ones, with blue and white or pink patterned duvet covers.

Joystir59 · 23/04/2023 19:08

Pale green

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

So adorable!!

Lots of variables here, interesting how some love white and others hate it 😂
Growing up I had Buzzy Bee flannelette sheets, still remember the warm fuzzy feeling they gave me. Ahhh memories!

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

Interesting!

Would you say use a bottom gingham sheet with a floral top sheet?

KittyMcKitty · 23/04/2023 22:30

White sheets, white duvet cover - anything else would be weird.

MyMachineAndMe · 23/04/2023 22:32

One child has red, the other has green. Ours are white or purple, depending on which ones are on at the time. Currently it's white but we have a purple patchwork style quilt on the top.

TheChosenTwo · 23/04/2023 22:33

White currently but also have dark blue and white stripes and one that’s plain navy. Rotate all three but white is my favourite.
ds has super Mario at the moment 😂
dd1 currently on cream with white spots and dd2 is forest greenery leafy stuff.

I’m in Australia, getting them from Adairs.
