We're hitting 'snooze' on plain white linens – Dakota Johnson's unusual, autumnal color combination is the cozy alternative bedding to try this fall

Dakota Johnson.

'I think people are scared to experiment with dark colors in their bedrooms,' Carlin van Noppen, bedding and design expert at Fig Linens and Home, tells Homes & Gardens. 'But it almost always pays off.'

Dakota Johnson home is living proof. The actress's mid-century modern bedroom, designed by Pierce and Ward, features a yellow bed swathed in a black, red, and green throw blanket. Yellow green throw pillows are arranged at the top. Though the color combination is unusual, it works perfectly to tie the entire room together.
