How to Style your Bed
Some may think that a bed is just there for you to have a good night's sleep and the look of it will not matter. Partly, that is correct. However, there are many factors which can be put into motion for you to have consistent and efficient rest every night by styling your own bed. There are actually motivational benefits of making your bed everyday. First is the fact that it will make you feel accomplished in the morning by telling yourself that you have done the first task of the day. Secondly, it will motivate you to keep the rest of your room clean. Whenever the bed is prepared, it helps to style the rest of the room, even if it isn't ideal. Even better, if you get into the practice of making your bed, you'll probably feel encouraged to improve the appearance of your bedroom in other ways. A very important factor of making your bed is that it can be therapeutic and lead to lower your stress and improve your mood for the day.
Nonetheless, making your bed should be quite an easy task but styling it is another story. However, bare in mind that this activity should always be fun to do. So here are some tips for you to be able to style your bed the right way.
1. Quality Bedding
This will probably be the most costly part of this process but will also be one of if not the most important factor. No one wants to sleep on a bedding which feels like rock. Which is why choosing one that fits your body type the most is crucial. Not only will it improve your sleep but it will allow your body to heal during your rest.
2. Choosing Your Theme
This part will be up to personal preference but this will set the tone nicely for whenever you want to go to bed. We recommend a more earthy toned setting for your bed sheets and pillows. As they frequently produce a welcoming and friendly atmosphere that does not irritate people or make the place depressing. The correct combination of earth tones may create a utopian world. From the get go, it will be up to you to either choose between plain colors or patterns. This is once again up for debate and should be personally chosen.
3. Choosing the Right Pillows
With so many various forms, sizes, and patterns, knowing how to design your bed with pillows may be a minefield. Choosing the proper pillows for you, on the other hand, does not have to be that difficult. Nonetheless, there are tips which we can give whenever choosing pillows.
- The first tip is knowing how many pillows you want on your bed. We suggest having at least 3-5 pillows ranging from a size 50x50 to a 30x50. This will result in you having enough options for a perfect night of sleep.
- Next is what material for the pillows you should be having. Well paticularly, for a good night's sleep, a person will tend to rely mostly on softer material. Something like cotton, nylon or linen is a good type of material for your pillow covers.
4. Building the Bed
Start with your staple pieces, which may be traditional white sheets or any simple sheet. Starting with basic bedlinen provides the foundation; you'll add intrigue with additional layers. It's critical to keep the bottom sheet as taut as possible.
5. Adding a Duvet
A duvet is vital for any bed since it is useful and completes the overall aesthetic by concealing the sheets. Place the quilt securely over the whole bed to smooth everything out for a professional effect, or pull back the top of the blanket for an inviting aspect.
6. Pillow Setting
After you've decided on a color scheme, you may begin arranging your cushions. Begin with positioning your four sleeping pillows in the back, preferably against the headboard to add height. Now comes the fun part: adding your decorative pillows! Play with different combinations and arrangements as much as you like; our only piece of advise is to avoid using more than five decorative pillows.
