Surf bedding is a cool gift any time of year for teenage girls or boys who can’t wait to hit the beach. Comforters and pillow shams covered in tropical prints with silhouettes of surfers carrying their surfboards towards the tiki hut at sundown after a long day of surfing the waves with their friends is sure to please your resident beach babe or surfer dude.
Is bedding sewn with surfboard print fabrics the only way to go? Young girls who are lucky enough to have their mom or dad’s collection of vintage surfboards may find themselves overloaded with an overabundance of boards if their surf bedding set has a large colorful surfboard print. The answer to this decorating dilemma is to find a duvet cover or comforter with a tropical print that will pull the surf decor together.
Consider:
- Hawaiian print bedding sets – volcanoes and island views with a vintage or retro style fabric
- Palm trees – Picture the beach on your favorite island surrounded by swaying palms
- Flip Flops – A funky flip flop print would be fun!
- Hibiscus flowers and tropical foliage
DESIGNERS

The popularity of surf bedding has not escaped the notice of top designers. Tommy Hilfiger as well as Pottery Barn offer surfing children’s bedding in a surf theme that will be right at home with your seashell collection. Pottery Barn Kids Aloha’s surfing quilt is in fact an excellent example of the decorating ideas that we suggested to you in the previous paragraph. If you examine one, you will see that it is actually little more than a log cabin style quilt in a coordinating color scheme that compliments the pink and white vintage palm tree print of the sheet and comforter set as well as the multi-colored floral accent pillows. The pillow shams repeat the pattern of the quilt in this particular set of cute girl’s surf bedding. The Tommy Hilfiger Surf’s Up collection, on the other hand, has what I would call a true surf board quilt covered in a bold print of surfboards in primary colors that could be used in a boy’s room as well as a girl’s bedroom.
COLORS
Moms who are having trouble letting go of their little girl’s feminine pink and white bedroom may find that this bed in a bag set will convince her tween or pre-teen to compromise. Mom gets to keep her little girl in pretty pink for a few more years and the little lady gets a cool set of surf theme bedding.
DISCOUNT SURF BEDDING AND DECOR
I am aware of decorators who have helped homeowners to successfully make the transition from surf theme baby nursery room decor and crib bedding sets to big girl surf bedding without a major bedroom makeover. If your little girl started out with surfboard or surf bedding and bedroom decor, chances are that you will be able to recycle most of your wall art, floor coverings and decorative accessories. This translates into money in your pocket, a stylish bedroom that you decorated for a cheap price and perhaps an island vacation in the near future.
