As a celebrity style editor, I write about white bedrooms almost every day of my life, and, unsurprisingly, this tone is an eternal favorite among famous figures and designers alike.
White bedding is easy to style and safe if you're looking for a color that doesn't feel overwhelming in your sleep space, but in all its versatility, it risks looking slightly flat. This is where Goldie Hawn's textured technique changes the game for good.
Starting with classic white bed sheets, she has layered various textures, including a faux fur throw and pillows with an intricate frill edge. The different materials work in harmony, giving her bed a dynamic feeling that is anything but boring. It's one of the most vibrant uses of white bedding I've ever seen, despite it lacking any bold color. If anyone ever says white is too dull for their bed, I expect they'll change their mind after seeing Goldie's arrangement.

This plush throw blanket brings a classic, refined style to your space with a silky texture and a cozy feel. It has a lush design that's made from faux fur in bubble shape, so it's easy to machine-wash and tumble dry when it needs a quick refresh. Throw it over your bed for the ultimate Goldie-inspired look.
Part of dressing your bed to the nines this season means being a little extra, and nothing adds flair quite like a ruffled border. This Cottagecore bedroom set looks fanciful, but it’s also made from 100% linen, keeping things breezy and light under the covers.
For a creamier twist of Golide's textured throw, I'd recommend this gorgeous, warm blanket from Cozy Earth. The cream hue is understated, and the material is supremely soft, making it the must-have you didn't know you needed this fall.
I will admit, I always saw the benefits of white bedding, but it never felt dynamic until I saw Goldie's arrangement. However, as Joanna Ross, the general manager of design at Sheridan, we should all rethink how we see white bedding – and Goldie's set-up is the perfect incentive.
'White is strong and modern again. Sometimes a fresh white on white room offers the perfect respite we crave at the day’s end. But where colour is absent, amped-up texture and tactility step in – comforting our senses through touch,' she says.
'We have seen furniture and ceramics take on a more “human” tone through their soft curves and textured finishes, so it is natural that our bedding layers follow suit. Classic ribs nestle with embroidery, or quilted white pattern and pleating… a nurturing trend that offers true individuality and longevity.'
The most beautiful way to introduce white in your bedroom is through multiple textures (including beautiful lace finishes, as Goldie demonstrates). However, as Joanna reminds us, this hue is eternally on-trend and always therapeutic. With this look, it's truly hard to go wrong.
