A well-dressed bed can make a huge difference in how comfortable and stylish your bedroom looks. With the right combination of sheets, blankets, covers, and pillows, you can transform your bedroom into a cozy oasis that feels like home. But where do you start? Let’s break down the steps for dressing a bed so that it looks great and feels even better!

Choosing Sheets

The first step to dressing your bed is selecting the right sheets. Start by measuring the size of your mattress (twin, full, queen, etc.), then choose fitted sheets that fit snugly around all four corners of your mattress. If you want an extra layer of warmth during colder months, look for sheets made with a higher thread count or flannel sheets.

Consider colour

Light colours will make the room feel brighter and more open; dark colours add drama to your space; and neutral tones offer versatility. Finally, think about texture when choosing sheets—crisp percale or silky sateen can give different types of comfort depending on what you prefer.

Adding Blankets and Covers

After selecting sheets, it’s time to add blankets and covers to keep warm while sleeping. Depending on how cold it gets in your room at night, you may choose to layer on one or two comforters—a duvet insert covered with a duvet cover—or opt for lighter quilts or throws instead. Remember to match colours or patterns between the comforter/quilt/throw and the sheet set for a unified look. You may also want to purchase two sets of blankets so that one can be washed while the other is in use.

Finishing Touches with Pillows

Finally, finish off the look with decorative pillows in various shapes (square or rectangle) and sizes (standard or king). Not only are pillows aesthetically pleasing but they can also provide additional support when sleeping if desired. Choose pillows that match the colours used in your sheet set for a cohesive look as well as ones with interesting textures such as knit fabrics or faux fur covers to add visual interest to any space. Then top it all off by adding an extra touch such as draping a throw blanket over one side of the bed for added texture!
