Poor Economy Boosts Traditional Style Decor

Online, May 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - It seems that during difficult times we all look to have something homely and traditional in our lives, and the current trends in bed linen sales are no exception.

The poor economic outlook in both Europe and USA has resulted in many of us looking back in time for some comfort. This has resulted in some unexpected sales increases in traditional style bedding and comforters. Designers such as the UK based Cath Kidston have seen sales of their floral patterned bed linen increase dramatically, and the Cath Kidston floral design bed linen is now to be found in house throughout the UK. And for this unique designer, it doesn't stop at bedding alone, with her floral designs found on anything from crockery to stationery.

Current tastes in bed linen now focus on the homely and traditional styles, such as an English Country look, with flowers and similar types of traditional patterns and colors. This isn't just a trend in older buyers, but younger homemakers too, looking for that country look and style. Perhaps in such turbulent economic times we are all looking for something more homely and secure, and especially, it seems, when it comes to where we sleep.
