Bed Styling 101
Without a doubt having a freshly made bed is a great way to make any bedroom feel
bright and spacious. Now picture that bed made and styled to perfection, something someone
would only expect to see in magazines, until now. With all the beautiful new lines and products
that have come into the store recently we thought now would be a perfect time to give them the
spotlight. Adding any of these items to your bed will help take your bed styling to the next level.
Step 1: Sheets, coverlets, and duvet covers. Go for a classic look with solid white
sheeting, a textured coverlet, and a simple neutral duvet color; or pick a duvet cover
with a bold and beautiful pattern and pull some of those colors by using colored
sheeting or coverlet. Here at the store we start with a fitted and a flat sheet, layer in
a coverlet for texture and finish by having the duvet folded in half or in thirds
(depending on the pattern) on the end of the bed.
Step 2: Euro Shams and standard pillows. We recommend using two euro’s for a
queen and three for a king. This is a very easy place to throw in some texture with a
beautiful crushed velvet fabric or pick a more neutral option by using a linen or a
subtle patterned material. Put your sleeping pillow in the same style pillow case as
your sheeting and put the stuffers in the same patterned shams as the duvet cover
for a more cohesive look (don’t know the difference between sleeping pillows and
stuffers? Come by the store and let us show you!).
Step 3: Pop in some throws. Throw pillows and blankets are the best way to add in
bursts of color. Whether the bedding you’ve been using so far is all neutral or full of
colour and pattern throw pillows are the best way to bring the bed together. Using
all neutrals so far? Why not grab a beautiful patterned pillow; there are some
stunning ones from Designers Guild, Eightmood, and more that have just arrived in
store. Use a printed pillow paired with a solid colored pillow or two that
compliments the colors.
Have a bed already exploding with color? Chose your favorite color found in the
pattern and focus on that. If you’re worried about the throw pillows covering up the
beautiful design then keep it simple with a solid lumbar pillow. That way you still
get to pull out your favorite color and not block the stunning pattern from showing.
With throw blankets we like to add them at the end of the bed, placed so they look
like they have been causally draped absentmindedly. We have plenty of knits that
would do the job perfectly, or if you want something that feels fancier we have that
too!
Step 4: Step back and admire your masterpiece!
