Fashion for bed linen

Bed linen, like clothes, lives according to the laws of fashion. In our country to follow fashion trends began relatively recently. A few years ago, the most popular coloring we had small monophonic florets on a white background. And in Mordovia, linen with red flowers was popular, in Kazan - with green, and in Moscow and St. Petersburg - with blue.

Today, double sets with two duvet covers are very popular. Perhaps the fact is that the number of families has increased, where the husband and wife have a separate bank account, and therefore everyone wants to sleep under their blankets?

Next season.

According to statistics, 95 percent of bed-clothes buyers are women. Nevertheless, there are traditionally female colors, and there are - male. Men prefer "geometry", women - a flower theme. As for the color of the laundry, everything depends on the character of the person. Sometimes blue, brown, black - like men's tones - women choose, and soft pastels - white, champagne, coffee with milk - men.

In the coming season, the ethnic and floral theme will remain in fashion - especially large blurry flowers scattered across the diagonal field, and oriental jacquard patterns will be fashionable. "Geometry" will be in demand - strict lines.

In the color range, the top will be taken in dark colors - black, blue, silvery-gray and brown. Trend of the season - the color of "mocha".

A fairy tale for the night.

Abroad, their color options prevail. For example, a duvet cover with a table of Mendeleev, or printed in large print "Fairy Tale for the Night", which can be read before bedtime, or sewn ... apron - for those who like to eat in bed. There was linen - "snag" - with the image of a sleeping puppy on a blanket or lying girl, as well as underwear, imitating. .. "iPod", a wrapper from chocolate, a can of sardines, an oven and a washing machine. Designer Eric van Loo created a truly strange kit. The sheet resembles a dirty paving slab, and the blanket and pillows are cardboard boxes, under which a homeless person usually sleeps. At the peak of fashion, underwear "3D". When the cloth is applied not flat, but a three-dimensional image, and you find yourself inside the picture.

Money, cards, two trunks.

His fashion for the coloring of children's underwear. These are, first of all, drawings of bunnies, bears and heroes of popular cartoons. According to the world standards, for the young children, the washed watercolor drawings are applied to the underwear, otherwise the child will be distracted by them and will not fall asleep. For older children, on the contrary, the picture should be clear and brighter. It's not only the teenagers who have grown up from cartoons but have not yet entered adulthood. Sometimes children's kits are actively bought by young men. For example, bed linen with a picture of a princess in the form of a joke was bought as a present to a friend, so that he would not be so lonely.

Unusual bed linen came up in Russia, in Russia. Together with the Institute of Color, original patterns were developed, with the help of which a psychotherapeutic effect on a person is achieved through color. Green and blue - soothe, red - excite (remember the famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe, lying on red velvet), orange - cheers up, grassy - causes craving for sports, lilac and light purple increase mental activity and help concentration. Aromatic oil is added to the laundry, which supports the "color mood". So, perhaps soon we will have less suffering from insomnia and more of those who do exercises in the morning.
