James's pick: Olive/Forest Green with Oatmeal

James's olive green and oatmeal combination creates the perfect cosy bedroom retreat. The rich forest green linen brings warmth and depth, while soft oatmeal tones keep things balanced and calm. What we love about this combo is how natural it feels - these earthy colours work together effortlessly, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed bedroom vibe.

Courtney's pick: Patterns and Solid Colours

Courtney proves that mixing patterns and solid colours doesn't have to be complicated. Her combination of classic pinstripe bedding with solid olive green accents creates visual interest without feeling overly busy. The neutral stripe pattern adds texture and movement, while the solid green pillows balance the look.

Sophie's pick: Classic Gingham Flannelette in Fun Colours

Sophie's got winter sorted with classic gingham flannelette sheets in colours that'll brighten even a gloomy winter morning. From soft blue checks to cheerful pink gingham, these patterns bring instant warmth and personality to any bedroom. The beauty of gingham is its timeless appeal; it’s cosy enough for winter nights, but cheerful enough to bring a bit of dopamine to the everyday.

Lach's pick: Rich Earthy Tones All Year Round

Lach's choice of rich, earthy tones proves some colour schemes never go out of style. His combination of warm terracotta bedding with deep forest green accents creates a bedroom that feels cosy and grounded every season. The burnt orange and olive green palette works beautifully together, giving the space a natural, lived-in warmth that's both relaxing and inviting.

Angie's pick: Bold Fitted Sheet with Soft Linen Cover

Angie's approach is all about subtle contrast that makes a big impact. Her bold, olive-green fitted sheet and pillows peek through soft, neutral linen covers, creating layers that feel fresh and modern. The coloured piping detail around the duvet adds just the right finishing touch. It's those small details that make a bedroom feel thoughtfully put together.

These bedroom linen ideas prove you don't need to follow strict rules, sometimes the most beautiful combinations come from mixing what you love with what works.
