Our guide for styling any bed

Piecing together a bed with bedding, blankets, and pillows involves both functionality and aesthetics. Here's our step-by-step guide to help you create a well-styled bed.

Start with a fitted sheet, then add a flat sheet or a top sheet. Layer a blanket, lightweight quilt, or duvet. Next, make sure it is centered and hangs evenly on all sides. Smooth out any wrinkles or creases. If using a duvet, insert it into a duvet cover and secure the corners and edges. Shake and fluff the duvet to fill evenly. For a neat and tidy appearance, fold the top edge of the duvet cover back over itself to expose a decorative trim or pattern.

When it comes to arranging pillows, place your sleeping pillows against the headboard,, followed by your decorative pillows. Start with two to four sleeping pillows, stacked neatly and lined up against the headboard. Then, layer decorative pillows in various sizes, textures, and patterns in front of the sleeping pillows. Euro shams are a nice sized pillow that helps transition from sleeping pillows to the more decorative ones. They add height and a luxurious touch to the bed.

Finish with a throw or bed runner. Place a throw blanket or a bed runner at the foot of the bed for an extra layer of texture and color. Drape it casually or fold it neatly in a horizontal position. Lastly, adjust and fluff the pillows and blankets, and smooth out any wrinkles or bulges to achieve a balanced and inviting look.

These are our tried and true steps that help achieve the perfect bed every time. There are no strict rules when it comes to styling a bed. Feel free to experiment with different textures, patterns, and colors to reflect your personal style and create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
