7 Tips For Making The Perfect Bed (+ Styling Inspiration)
We've put together 4 stylish ways to make the perfect bed.
Making up a bed for overnight guests doesn’t have to be a chore. Here’s how to dress up yours beautifully (and painlessly). The end result? Bright-eyed and well-rested company.
Our top tips for making the perfect bed
- Enlarge it: At 26 inches square, Euro pillows are great for reading or lounging. Try a print that coordinates with your duvet.
- Mix it: Experiment with saucy accent cushions to deliver a punch of pattern and scale.
- Tuck it: A folded duvet cover reveals a tucked-in coverlet and top sheet.
- Fluff it: The charm of a duvet is that you rarely need to make the bed – just fluff and go!
- Layer it: Extra texture is added with a cashmere throw at the end of the bed.
- Finish it: A floor-length bed skirt completes the look.
- Drop it: A woven rug next to the bed adds warmth and is soft underfoot.
