It's where you start and end your days. Where you relax, read and have sex. Shouldn't your bed reflect your personal style? After all, when you or a guest walks into your bedroom, your bed is undoubtedly the first thing that gets noticed. And if you haven't bought new bedding in a while, chances are you could be due for a refresh. Take the time to consider how you want to style your bed. Are you the type that appreciates neat hospital corners and crisp white sheets? Or would you rather sink into softly rumpled linen sheets in calming shades of grey? Here are three failsafe options ready to be brought to your home.

Want things clean, crisp and uncomplicated? Ditch the fluffy comforter for a light wool blanket over satiny smooth white sheets. It's the perfect warm weather replacement for a down-filled duvet. A menswear-inspired plaid accent pillow is an easy way to finish the look.

Stick with the same neutral color (like grey or blue) and pick different shades and textures that complement one another. Lissoy's sumptuous European dyed chambray bedding comes in a range of rich, slightly varied colors. Pair the breathable linen duvet with Ralph Lauren's heathered haberdashery sheets.

So many beds play it safe these days. Take a risk and opt for some bold patterns. Striped cotton percale sheets set the foundation and a stitched garment-washed duvet adds a smart, all-over geometric pattern. Accent pillows made from vintage African indigo mud cloth make for the perfect exclamation point.
