There's a bedding colour that matches your birth month – these are the 12 shades that will hyper-personalise your bed

January's birth month colour is garnet, a deep, rich red. The colour of love and passion, this shade is perfect for upping the romance in your bedroom, although you might want to layer in some lighter tones to keep the look from feeling too heavy.

February's gemstone is amethyst making tones from lilac to deep purple this month's birth colour. Purple can sometimes be a hard colour to decorate with, but opt for a gingham or stripe and this birth month colour makes a pretty addition to the bedroom.

Aquamarine is March's birth month colour, and I think this shade is perfect for the bedroom. Think of blue sky on a sunny day, or the clear, calm ocean; this colour soothes, restores, and invigorates the spirit – just like the first signs of spring in March.

April's birth month colour is diamond white. Think crisp white hotel-style bedding that looks fresh out of the box. The White Company would be my first port of call if you're an April baby looking to decorate in this birth-month shade, though DUSK also offers plenty of affordable, crisp white bedding.

May's birth month colour is emerald green, and perhaps no surprise, as this is the month that all of nature's green tones take centre stage with leaves and foliage flourishing. Go all out with bold block colour bedding in this jewel tone, or choose a botanical print, like Habitat x Morris & Co.'s Pimpernel Bedding Set, that incorporates this shade.

June's birth month colour is pearl white, a softer and creamier tone than April's bright diamond white. This dreamy shade is perfect for the bedroom, although if you want to avoid this off-white hue looking a little bland, consider opting for textured bedding, such as pearl white muslin, linen, or a waffle design.

July's birth month colour is ruby red. Whilst block colour may feel a little too heavy for this time of year, a subtle stripe is a great way to bring this rich shade onto the bed in a more understated way.

Unless you're an August baby, I think you'd be forgiven for not knowing quite what 'peridot green' is, but this lime green shade is perfect for adding zest and vigour to a bedroom.

September gets sapphire blue as its colour, and this sky blue shade is like a long exhale. Restful, calming, and made for relaxation. Consider pairing block colour with striped or gingham fabrics to add interest to the bed.

October's birth month colour is another translucent shade; opal white. Look for white bedding with a subtle sheen to reflect this beautiful shade, such as cotton sateen, bamboo, or even silk sheets.

November's birth month colour is topaz gold or citrine, both gorgeous, rich, amber and burnt-yellow shades. This hue is like adding a shot of sunshine to the bed, and I think it's guaranteed to have you waking up with a smile on your face.

December has tanzanite as it's hero colour, a bright blue-purple shade. This cool blue shade looks perfect paired with white bedding for a crisp and fresh look – much like a pristine snowy day in this wintry birth month.
