HOW TO STYLE A BED

Looking to create a warm and luxurious atmosphere in your bedroom? One approach to achieving this is to start with a neutral base layer and then build upon it with colours, patterns, and textures that reflect your personal style. By keeping the foundation simple, you open up endless opportunities to showcase your creativity, and allows you to have more fun with creative aspects of bedding and adding layers that showcase your personality.

Layering different textures, such as a chunky knit blanket or even a simple textured quilt folded at the end of the bed adds depth and richness giving the luxury feel. Below are a few ways we like to style our beds when it comes to staging.

 

  • Folding back the bed cover onto quilt is a favourite of ours, creating layers without over doing it with lots of throws on the bed.
  • Another option is to add a waffle knit throw or any throw through the quilt at the end of the bed, this gives it yet another layer with a bit more texture.
  • Lastly just a simple throw at the end of the bed ruffled up to create folds in them for a more dynamic look.

 

Pillows are an essential component of any well-styled bed. They allow you to incorporate colour, texture, and height to you bedding, giving your bedroom a luxurious feel. However, it is easy to go overboard with pillows, which can be overwhelming. To avoid this, choose one or two statement cushions and pair them with more neutral accents. Mix and match different pillow sizes to create a unique and personalised look. We recommend using a combination of the three cushions or two large cushions side by side for a simple yet elegant look.
