Minimalist Ruffles
Ruffles can fit in with many aesthetics to add a feminine feel to it. Minimalism is no different. If you’re not a fan of the plain white, blacks, and greys that are common in minimalist bedrooms, see if adding a bit of ruffle can help.
When searching for the right ruffle bedding for your minimalist bedroom, avoid ruffles with lace or a dense pattern. Also, avoid ruffle bedding where the ruffle is a different color. If you do want your ruffle to still have a little design flair to it, look for something similar to our Silky Ruffle Bedding Set. A simple clean colored edge that’s not too distracting and keeps with the minimalist aesthetic of the rest of the bedroom.

Coquette Ruffle Fantasy
A coquette bedroom is where ruffles feel at home. Adding ruffles to a coquette bedroom is almost mandatory. So, when you're creating your coquette bedroom, definitely look for bedding with at least some ruffles on it!
When designing a coquette bedroom, you definitely want to have pink ruffle bedding. However, unlike the minimalist bedroom, you can have your ruffles be a different color. We recommend a white or another shade of pink. Also unlike the minimalist bedroom, your ruffles can have lace and patterns on it!

For cottagecore bedding, look for ruffle edge designs. Like the coquette bedroom, they can be a different color from the main bedding or made of lace. A cottagecore bedding looks best when it looks homemade and down to earth. So, try to avoid extravagant looking materials like Tencel.

Girly Gothic Ruffles
As a testament to the versatility of ruffles, they can be applied to gothic style bedrooms. When adding ruffles to a gothic bedroom, it can add a feminine or Victorian era vibe depending on how you style the rest of the room. So, know beforehand if you want your bedroom to lean more towards pastel goth or like it belongs to a 19th century vampire.
Black, of course, is an essential color for both styles, but you can add ruffles in different ways to help make them distinct from each other. The pastel goth aesthetic already leans more feminine, so adding ruffles to bedding, pillows, and decor is no issue. Common colors that are seen in pastel goth bedrooms are pastel pinks, purples, and lite teal-ish blues. So, search for those colors when creating a ruffled pastel goth bedroom.
As for Victorian, rely on the design of your furniture and color to create your Victorian inspired room. Ruffles can be added around the border of blankets and pillows. That way, it doesn’t distract from the rest of the room. For a luxury feeling, materials like Tencel are great at making you feel like a vampire noble.

Incorporate Some Jewel Tones
When you think of a bedroom with ruffles, you probably first think of a bedroom with primarily pink and white as the main color since ruffles are associated a lot with feminine tastes. You might not think of a jewel toned bedroom. If you love jewel tones, don’t think that ruffles won’t fit in! They can add a beautiful flair to your room.
Jewel tones create a timeless look, so why not add something just as timeless? For a jewel toned bedroom, you can go bold by combining ruffles with different patterns and colors to get a distinct look! Don’t be afraid to try combining different textures together as well.
