I’m no fashion maverick but I think “fashion bedding” would have to mean color-coordinated, high-end designs for bed sets, beddings and bed sheets. True, you tend to pay more for their design and quality. Yet, the fashion bedding industry keeps a steady line of patrons and consumers. These days, fashion is indeed no longer just about what you wear. People dress up their kids or their pets and they too can spruce up the bedroom and “dress up” their mattress. Today, fashion encompasses total lifestyle.

Unlike mattresses which mostly advisable to recycle and must be disposed of properly, you can still make use of old bed sheets when they are no longer useful for covering up the bed. Here are some things you can do with them:

1. Use old bedsheets as a drop cloth when you’re doing projects that require you to get down and dirty
2. You can donate them for charity. Make sure they are extra, extra clean though before you do it.
3. It can be cut up to be made into a rug or as a pillow stuffing.
4. Turn them into tote bags, aprons, table cloth or chair slip covers.
5. Some people use bed sheets as curtains….hmmmm.

Some people find it challenging to design a man’s bedroom because most patterns and style may come off as too feminine. Equally challenging is leaving the decision to the men, when it comes to choosing the right beddings,  since they tend to pick something that has too much of the frat-house feel. The men need guidance when it comes to picking the right beddings. And also, since men today are becoming more conscious of the importance of aesthetics, on top of usability and practicality, some of them are probably wondering where they can purchase beddings perfect for their species.
