Newlyweds: Making a new home

Best bedding for newlyweds

Newlyweds often find that moving in together, making their new home together, is both fun and challenging. Joining your households together can be frustrating, especially when you realize your tastes are extremely different. While you may be lucky to agree on most things, at some point there will come a time when the two of you won’t see eye-to-eye on something, and that’s when compromise comes into play.

A Happy Medium

Whether you are trying to blend feminine touches with masculine edges or fighting the desire to make your home look too ‘girly’, it is possible to make that happy medium and make your home a place which truly reflects both of your tastes, harmoniously. Keep in mind that when making your new home, quality is what counts the most. Your new décor is going to be around for years, so you’re going to need items that are durable and worth the money! The Company Store is renowned for providing 100 years of quality, comfort and care through the best US-crafted comforters, fashion bedding, and home décor. When you don’t know where to start at such a hectic transition in life, starting with a brand that you can trust will make everything easier. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plan:

  1. Look at your styles. Each of you has a personal style, but what is it? Do you like organization or does too much drive you crazy? Big, bold colors, or muted ones? Do you love modern touches or do you prefer a more ‘homespun’ look? Sitting down, talking this out, and agreeing on the elements you want in your home can help. The Company Store offers home décor which will fit any style—and will help mesh two styles together, seamlessly. Their Legends Luxury Collection is perfect for newlyweds, it will have your home looking like royalty!
  2. Next take stock. What do you already have, and what do you need? If your linens are old and worn, time to toss them and start all over. The bedroom is a great place to begin decorating, anyway, because this is a place you will spend a lot of time. Make your bedroom a comfortable oasis, away from the stress of your daily lives. The Dual-Weight Comforter by LaCrosse, from The Company Store is perfect for newlyweds, because it looks great and it offers different temperatures on each side, so no matter how you like to sleep, you can sleep at your preferred comfort level (avoiding a lot of blanket tug-of-war at night). And when it comes to the bedroom, splurge a little! Purchase sumptuous bed linens which will offer you a comfortable place to sleep, and choose a gorgeous duvet which will make your bedroom a place of pride.
  3. Look around for inspiration. If you’re just not sure what you want the living room to look like (or the rest of the house) head to the internet for inspiration. Take to sites like Pinterest or Real Simple to find ideas. Go through the images you like to figure out what design elements move you.
  4. Shop together. Sounds like a no-brainer, but sometimes people forget they are part of a couple now, time to shop together to avoid any arguments later. When you are together you’ll look for finds you both love; and hey, maybe one of you has a better eye for detail than the other.
  5. Paint! One fun and simple way to change the look of your new home is through new paint. Go to the home store together and grab paint swatches and then come home and choose; some companies are even offering small paint tubs for purchase so you can take them home and ‘swatch’ the walls. Neutral colors are always safe, but you may want to add a bolder color to a single wall to compliment your new home décor.
