• If you've recently purchased a bed set to add to the decorative scheme in your bedroom, you may be looking for some additional accents to customize the set. The best bed set decor includes items that reflect your personality and style and help to transform your bedroom into a relaxing haven you'll love to come home to.
  
  

Pillow Shams

• Shams often come with bed sets, but add a couple of extra pillows to the bed and cover them with shams that reflect the color or design scheme of the room. For instance, if your bed set only comes with two pillow shams, and you've featured four main colors in your bedroom, buying two additional shams will ensure that the main decor hues are represented on the bed. Shams also make the bed set look especially comfortable and inviting, and if you choose pillow shams in a different material than the rest of the bed set, the contrast can be visually appealing, such as velvet pillow shams against a cotton sheet or comforter.
  
  

Monograms

• Monograms can be embroidered directly onto any item in your bed set and serve to make your linens completely original. If you're having a monogram added to your child's bed set, boxy letters created from brightly colored yarn may be best; monograms for your bedroom can be sewn in cursive in the center of your comforter or pillows. Additional designs, such as a butterfly or wreath of leaves will give the monogram a whimsical or sophisticated look, and you can purchase additional pillow cases and shams in complementing colors for your bed set and have them monogrammed in a different font style when you want to change the decor a bit.
  
  

Bed Skirts

• Some bed sets come with bed skirts as well, but you can change the bed skirt to portray a contrast in patterns or colors, making it one of the most versatile bed set decorations. The skirt fits underneath the mattress and provides an extra strip of fabric around the bed that coordinates with the pillow cases, pillow shams, sheets and comforter. If you've decorated your bedroom in a safari theme and have purchased a tan or black bed set, a bed skirt in zebra or cheetah print will stand out on the bed. If you've created a monochromatic look for your bedroom, a bed skirt in the deepest color of the decor gives the area an air of sophistication.
