Top of Bed: Pattern Parade
-- Home Accents Today, 3/1/2008
A striking array of graphic prints and patterns gets cozy with top-of-bed designs offering a funky lineup of anything-but-boring threads. Bold color combinations of navy and white, plum and mandarin, black and white, and orange and yellow keep even the most traditional motifs feeling fresh. Look for damasks, floral motifs, stripes and sunbursts to lead the way in this exuberant melange. — Lindsey Strader
