While somewhat expensive and requiring special care, linen sheets can be an investment because they will last as long as 20 years. Choose a comforter and pillow shams to coordinate with your sheets. Consider selecting a comforter that matches more than one set of sheets. Many comforters available today are reversible, offering you several decorating options. Personal preference will also determine your choice of blankets.
Wool blankets are best for cold weather while thermal weaves are comfortable in warmer weather.
For the bath, all-cotton towels are unquestionably the softest and most absorbent. Choose between looped terry towels that are thick and thirsty or sheared terry towels that are velvety to the touch. Select colors that carry out the scheme you've set for the bedroom. Don't be surprised to learn that you may be able to register your entire bedroom furniture suite and mattresses, or choose a sofa and loveseat, accent tables, area rugs and decorative accessories. More and more department and specialty stores offer bridal registry services to help you furnish your entire home or apartment.
