How to Dress a Bed

14 Feb

We apparently spend a third of our lives in bed, so it’s important to have a space that helps you escape the pressure of the day and give you a restorative night’s sleep. Here’s how you can transform your bed into the ultimate comfort zone and be sure to check out our gallery for some inspiration at the end of the blog.

Invest in Quality Bedding

First things first, don't underestimate the power of good bedding. It's worth splurging a bit to get quality stuff that'll last longer and feel better. Think about getting a comfy mattress, some protective covers, fluffy pillows, and a cosy duvet. Remember, better bedding equals a better sleep experience.

Pillowcases:

Coordinating pillowcases can make a big difference in the overall look of your bed. Bottom pillows should match your sheets, while top pillows should coordinate with your duvet cover or bedspread. Consider adding oxford pillowcases with a loose flat hem (flange) for an elegant touch.

European Pillowcase:

European pillowcases, typically sized at 65cm x 65cm, add height and frame the rest of your pillow arrangement. These square pillowcases are perfect for adding a touch of style and can be propped up at the very back of the arrangement.

Accent Cushions:

Bring some fun, colour, and pattern to plain bedding with accent cushions. Varying in size, these cushions add interesting layers and can instantly transform the look of your bed. Mix and match textures and designs to personalise your space.

Duvet Cover or Bedspread:

Introduce colour or texture to your bed with a duvet cover or bedspread. This is an excellent opportunity to coordinate with your bedroom colours and design.

Flat and Fitted Sheets:

Cotton and linen sheets are the best options, offering breathability and comfort. Opt for high-quality sheets to ensure a luxurious feel against your skin.

Throws:

Adding a throw to the end of your bed creates soft, textural layering. A throw serves both decorative and practical purposes, adding visual interest while also providing extra warmth. Choose a throw that complements the overall aesthetic of your bedroom.

Comforters:

Comforters not only enhance the appearance of your bed but also provide warmth and cosiness in colder months. These puffy, layered additions give your bed a luxurious and inviting feel.

Creating a dreamy bed is all about layering up and choosing pieces that feel good to you. So, don't be afraid to invest in quality bedding, mix and match different textures and colours, and make your bed your own personal sanctuary. After all, a good night's sleep starts with a bed that you can't wait to dive into!
