Creating a perfectly styled bed

Have you ever been looking on instagram just to stop mid scroll and admire the photo in your feed of the perfectly styled bed and ever wonder, how the heck do they get it to look like that?! So cozy and welcoming you want to just jump through your screen and climb right in.

Often overlooked and undervalued, our bedrooms are supposed to be a safe place where we go to relax, unwind and rest. If you aren’t waking up feeling recharged and ready to face the day, investing in creating a more serene space will not only make you feel better, it can be life changing by helping you get the much deserve rest and relaxation our bodies need.

Let’s explore some tips and tricks to help you style your bed for that climb in ready look.

Besides having a high quality mattress as great foundation for your bed, your bed linens should also be something to consider investing in. We love the layered look of a fluffy duvet paired with a quilt or coverlet. Folding back the duvet gives your bed a dreamy, cloud like feel. Opt for high quality 100% cotton sheets and duvet covers. Avoid anything with polyester as it’s not as breathable as cotton and can contribute to feeling too warm while sleeping, even causing you to sweat. Adding a lightweight throw blanket to the end of your bed is a great way to add another dimension of colour and texture.

Now this next tip may not be the most popular amongst our partners, (I speak from experience!) but the easiest way to create interest to your bed is…more pillows!

Layer your functional pillows (those you use for sleep) with pillows of varying sizes, textures and colours. Start with larger Euro shams (2 for queen, 3 for King) and layer with a mix of square and lumbar shaped throw pillows. Don’t be scared to play with colours and patterns that reflect your personality and style. Florals, geometrics, lines, textures and solid colours pillows are just some of the styles you can look for.
