Creating The Right Layers For Your Bed
A bed makes the bedroom. It not only takes up a lot of actual space, but visual space as well. A fabulously made bed has the most impact on how the bedroom feels and looks. Layering with different fabrics, patterns and colors is the key to set the tone for the room.
We will be sharing easy and quick tips to make any bed feel comfortably stylish.
Let’s start with how to create layers for your bed that makes the bed feel plush, incredibly comfortable and look good. Besides a wonderful mattress, sheets for your bed would be the first layer. Regular or fitted, we love a good, soft and breathable cotton or linen fabric for the sheets that can stay snug on top of the mattress. Keeping it neutral colored will make the bedding look absolutely fresh and crisp, giving the eye a rest from the patterns and colors in the room. Add an extra layer of flat sheet to go on top of the fitted sheet.
Next, we like to have a layer in between the duvet cover and sheets, whether it’s a quilt, bedspread or coverlet. This extra layer will level up the comfort factor during winter months. To turn your bed into a decadent delight for summer, this middle layer would be of cotton sheets which are much softer and have fibers with superior durability. Linen sheets are also a popular preference due to linen’s moisture-wicking and hypoallergenic properties. This light and airy fabric makes a terrific addition to your summer bedding.
Then comes the comforter and a beautiful duvet cover. We love a versatile comforter that can be a good fit for the changing weather. Ideal for a range seasons and sleeping preferences, a good down comforter is a game changer. Pair this with a another layer of soft duvet cover that can be easily cleaned and switched up seasonally. A duvet cover is where you can bring some pop of color and more texture. Take the comfort layering a level up and make the most inviting bed by adding a throw blanket. We love a beautifully knit woolen throw blanket on top of the comforter to enliven the bedding.
Last and the most fun part of creating perfect layers is pillow arrangements. A perfect pillow will help you fall asleep faster and make you feel rested. Since this is a critical part of the bedding, choosing the right size, firmness and material is a personal choice. In addition to these, you can add accent Pillows to jazz up the bed and make it more tempting to sleep in. Pillows can be tastefully arranged as per the size of the bed. Accent pillows can be added as per the bed size. Add too less and the bed may look boring. Add too many and the bed can feel overwhelming and less functional. Experiment with pillow arrangement, colors and patterns to create the dreamiest bedscapes .
