Wake up, sleepyhead, and take a look around. No place is more personal than where you rest your head, but are your sheets and shams (and so on) worthy of your wildest dreams? Prop yourself up on some pillows and read the following, where you'll uncover beds made just for you.

If You Live with a Guy
You know your peach paisley duvet has to go. But so does the Heineken bar mirror he's snoozed beneath since college. To build a unisex bed where nobody feels short-sheeted, start with hues that aren't too masculine (dark, opaque browns and grays) or feminine (light, powdery pinks and blues). Here, yellow sheets, a teal blanket, an ash-gray duvet, and soft-brown shams create a bright, cheery combo that won't make him feel marooned on planet Venus. And while you'll be avoiding all things frilly, you can still have fun with textures, like quilted canvas, fuzzy wool, and menswear-inspired stripes and checks. Paired with an archetypal bed frame stained in sheer yellow, "the look is both elegant and strong," says home editor Page Marchese Norman.
