Beautiful Bedding Tips

Over time, I have found that creating a luxurious place to sleep is very important to me. Even when I was little, I used to get so excited when my mom or grandmother bought new bedding for my bedroom. I felt the same about my dorm room bedding.

By the time I had my first adult home, I purchased the nicest fabric I could afford and sewed pillow shams for my bed.

I still adore nice bedding. For me, it is an important element for a great night’s sleep.

Along the way, I have figured out a few bedding tips that I think you will love! Use my tips to create a timeless, luxurious bed using just the right pieces!

Include the Right Pieces

Start out with high-quality pieces. Plush fabric that is soft and beautiful is a must.

I recently purchased a few pieces to upgrade my bed from Bloomingdale’s. They are gorgeous sateen pieces with a contrasting silver border and stitching from the Yves Collection.

Bloomingdale’s is known for having multiple brands of luxury bedding. I highly recommend them as your go-to source for beautiful, high quality bedding pieces.

My new pieces feel and look AMAZING!

I never make my bed without including a few staple pieces.

Coverlet

The weight of the coverlet I selected is just enough to look gorgeous as a piece that shows, but not too heavy to use while sleeping.

Duvet

A duvet can be spread out on your bed, folded down once, or folded in thirds at the foot. This pieces provides a well-styled layered look.

Shams

Euro shams add height and look gorgeous as a backdrop to any additional pillows you may want to add.

Accent

A boudior pillow is an elegant finishing touch to your bed or a lounge chair.

Quality Sheets

Great, high-quality sheets can help you sleep more comfortably. They are also beautiful enough to be included in the finished look.

 

Iron or Steam

Take the time to remove the wrinkles from your bedding pieces. I like to do as much as I can with a steamer. Stubborn creases can often be removed with an iron. Before this step, be sure to remember to note the care instructions included with all quality bedding.

Inserts

Put your inserts inside your shams and fluff your pillows. Try using inserts that are one size larger than your shams for a lush, full look!

 

Step by Step – Version 1

All you need for this look is the luxury, hotel-worthy pieces I included below. This is beautiful and simple to maintain.

I love how simple and timeless my bed looks with my beautiful new pieces! Here are the steps:

1. Coverlet
2. King size pillows (2)
3. Euro pillows (3)
4. Duvet

 

Step by Step – Version 2

If you want to pile on the pillows for a decadent look, add a few additional rows. I mixed my new pieces with a few pieces I already owned. The new pieces elevate the whole look!

1. Coverlet
2. King size pillows (2)
3. Euro pillows (3)
4. 24-26″ decorative pillows (2) – optional. This step can be eliminated for a less full look.
5. 20-24″ decorative pillows (2)
6. Boudior pillow
7. Duvet

Step 7 is the last step. Add a duvet to the bottom part (the foot) of your bed. Fold the top of it back to complete the look.

So timeless and inviting!
