bed<\/a>, make sure you have two pillows per side. Be sure you fluff them before placing them on top of your duvet, with the unfurled side facing towards the outside of the bed,’ Lucy advises. Consider investing in a few pillow shams that match your bedding to improve your pillows. Set the shams of your pillow over your regular pillows, obscuring them with an elegantly coordinated fa\u00e7ade to create a luxurious hotel appearance.’<\/span><\/p>\nThe most frequent question in the styling of beds is whether pillows should be placed above the duvet or under it.<\/span><\/p>\n“When we style clothes for photo shoots or in our clients at home, we suggest one pillow under the duvet and another above. The top pillow gives the design and feel and leaves the lower pillow in place to sleep on once the duvet is removed in the morning. Georgia Metcalfe, the founder of French Bedroom, explains.<\/span><\/p>\nMake sure to coordinate your pillows and duvet. Nic Shacklock at Online-Bedrooms.co.uk elaborates: ‘The bottom two pillows should match your fitted bottom sheet in material and color to achieve a super cohesive bedspread. The top pillows should be matched to the duvet.’<\/span><\/p>\nBed Spreads<\/span><\/h3>\nAdd texture and color to your bedroom by putting a bedspread on or two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe bedspreads look amazing when placed with one plain and one with a pattern:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Choose a primary color from the pattern of your bedspread and curtains for your bedroom, as well as artwork or wallcoverings. Use this color in the lower bedspread, covering your entire bedroom or the upper part.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Lay the patterned bedspread on top, about half-width creating an ultra-thin panel over the plain. This creates a thoughtful and coordinated look that is straight from the playbook of an interior designer.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Lay the plain bed on top.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Throws<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Throws are still a wonderful design tool for beds, but make sure they are not folded too neatly on the floor part of the mattress. Instead, throws should be more casual and casually draped on the corners.<\/span><\/p>\n“When adding blankets and throws to the mattress, the goal is to create soft and textural layers. The loosely draped middle on the bed is where I feel it strikes a balance between sleek styling and casual design”, says Shelley Cochrane, Retail Merchandiser at Furniture Village. I love choosing crepe fabrics because they provide an exquisitely soft and tactile aspect.’<\/span><\/p>\nDon’t limit yourself to one color; similar to a bedspread, using two throws in the mix of colors and textures is a great idea too.<\/span><\/p>\nCushion Love<\/span><\/h3>\nIt is vital to layer cushions for a chic and well-presented mattress. But how many cushions, precisely?<\/span><\/p>\n“You should choose between three and six cushions, based on the size of the bed as well as your preference for the bed,’ says Lucy, who advises that it is best to group them by size, placing the biggest on the back, and the smaller ones in front.<\/span><\/p>\nCushions can be great for removing gaps between pillows and are an excellent way to bring the entire bedroom design in one place,’ says Georgia. Select a motif, color, or design from your bedroom’s design and replicate this design in the cushion.<\/span><\/p>\nThink softly curving cushions with pompom detailing for bedroom designs that have a romantic feel, Mongolian sheepskin cushions for traditional, cottage-style rooms, and somewhat rough-hewn pillows for more desert-inspired homes,” Shelley adds.<\/span><\/p>\nThe best tip:<\/strong> If you want to change your bedroom’s style with the seasons and are limited in storage space, an affordable alternative is to purchase cushions – check out H&M and IKEA for a wide selection of colors and designs.<\/span><\/p>\nHow To Wash Your Pillow (Yes, You Should Be Washing Your Pillow)<\/span><\/h2>\n
