Are you bored of plain white sheets? So are we. Though simple bedding can be a beautiful and relaxing way to welcome the evening, as we move into 2026, we're craving bedrooms that feel more storied, sumptuous, and full of life. For inspiration, we decided to go back in time to a period obsessed with pattern and movement: the '70s.
Of course, it's impossible to talk about the aesthetics of the '70s without mentioning Cher, and the bedroom in her Beverly Hills home perfectly embodies the unorthodox yet timeless elegance of the period. A photo from 1977 shows the singer posing on her all-floral statement bed.
From the headboard to the pillows to the bedding, the entire furnishing is upholstered in pretty multi-colored floral fabric (the Traditions Comforter Set from Wayfair has a very similar pattern).
As nostalgia dominates 2026 interior design trends, we are faced with an incontrovertible truth: statement beds like Cher's are back. Though it seems unimaginably bold, florals' unique combination of comfort and refreshment is the perfect choice to bring warmth into your bedroom this year.
Georgia Metcalfe, Founder & Creative Director at French Bedroom explains: 'Floral and botanical homeware effortlessly infuses a sense of serenity and timeless elegance into any interior. By layering soft floral bedding, delicate cushions, and nature-inspired decorative accents, you can create a space that feels both refreshing and deeply comforting.'
Suddenly, Cher's 1970s look feels approachable and modern.
Recreate Cher's Look at Home
Soft, breathable, and naturally cozy, these sheets offer ultimate comfort and everyday luxury. A timeless floral motif blooms across a crisp white backdrop, creating a fresh botanical look that feels classic yet understated in any neutral bedroom. You'll never go back to white sheets.
This delicate Posy Bud bedding set is the perfect starter kit for trying out some vintage-inspired florals. You can shop the entire bundle, or pick up some pillowcases or a flat sheet to layer up with stripes or gingham.
This comforter set showcases a timeless floral motif in soft sage green against a crisp white background on the front, and a classic narrow stripe on the reverse. Both sides are made from lightweight printed cotton to ensure a cozy feel that'll make it hard to get out of bed in the morning.
Embrace the art of lavish detail with this throw pillow, one half adorned with ornate buttons and intricate patterns, the other layered with decorative frills, a true celebration of texture and design.
Floral bedding is uplifting and makes a bedroom feel cozy and homely. The Ikat printed duvet is the perfect mood-booster and can be reversed for an easy refresh.
This throw pillow, adorned with delicate frills, is an exquisite accent for the discerning shopper. I adore the harmonious pairing of green and pink, featuring an intricate, ditsy floral pattern thoughtfully designed in-house and masterfully crafted in India.
Of course, some cases of statement beds look undeniably dated, but this bedroom decorating mistake is easy to avoid with care.
Georgia advises: 'The key is to balance classic charm with contemporary touches, allowing floral patterns and textures to bring warmth, romance, and a connection to nature into your home.' Through this unique combination, you can create a space that captures the whimsy of Cher's home while maintaining a contemporary edge.
Interior design trends are not a ceaseless journey forward, instead they are a winding path that often loops back on popular looks from previous decades. By looking to tastemakers from the past, you can, paradoxically, always stay on top of what's coming next.
