Hello World! Welcome Friends! We have all scrolled through the glossy pages of our favorite decor magazine and swooned over beautiful beds made ever so neatly. Not even the slightest of mess; well, seems to be a dream for every home decor lover.
Admit it, most of us love hotel beds – simply for the fact that they are comfy and well-made and allow us to wake up fresh and well-rested even after sleeping for a short span.
Are you wondering how beds are made to such perfection? Do you have questions like who makes their bed and how is it perfect every time? Do they have time to follow such a rigorous process to make the bed in the morning?
Is Making Such Beautiful Beds Farfetched?
Making the beds isn’t complex. While we can’t guarantee your bedroom will grace the cover of a decor magazine, what we can assure you is that when you return to your bed after a long day, you will enjoy a comfortable and undisturbed sleep. We will start with the basics and then follow with the decor pieces or elements.
Bed Skirts Or Not?
You may or may not have a bed skirt; that’s your choice. But if your bed has a metallic frame or has things underneath your bed (who doesn’t love some extra storage options, right?), it is wise to choose a bed skirt.
Make sure your bed skirt is of the perfect length; it shouldn’t touch the floor but just barely touch it.
Tip: Use upholstery pins to hold the bed skirts in place; this way, you do not have to readjust them every time you make your bed.
Get Cushioning
If you have kids or pets, you will relate to how easily the mattresses get stained with liquid spills. Did you know over time, they may catch mold too!
While keeping your babies or furry friends away from the bed may be a task not worthy of accomplishment, there is a way out – gracing your bed with mattress protectors. Mattress protectors are waterproof, meaning no more nasty stains on your mattress, plus you can feel the added comfort it gives to your bed when you lay down at night.
Time to Sheet Up
You may notice that an unkept bed is hard to fall asleep on. If you have a well-made bed with soft linen grasping you in the mattress, making you comfortable, having a good night’s sleep every night can be a cakewalk.
Start by using a fitted sheet across the bed; make sure the elastic fits well across all sides and smooth out the edges. Second, it’s time for your flat sheet and place it face down (making sure the patterned side is down) so that you can see the pattern of the beautiful sheets when you fold the foot top.
You can buy sheets widely available in the market or even get fabric by the yard online on websites and make a custom-made sheet. The options are limitless when you have creative juices flowing.
Layering To Perfection
After that, add a quilt or coverlet. Fold the top foot of it, as well as your flat sheet, toward the bed frame end—Tuck the sides of your mattress in.
Next, you can add a 15 tog duvet or a comforter to give you warmth; make sure it is laid evenly across the bed. Nothing can feel as comfy as a crisp duvet. So make sure the duvet covers are washed and dried in the dryer before using it.
Pillow-talk?
Fluff those pillows out and stand them up against the headboard. Next is the fun part. Get creative, stack decorative shams and pillows to give a lot of individuality to your area.
You can add textures and patterns according to the mood you want to convey.
That is it. You now just have to slip into your nightdress and get onto the super comfy bed. But here is a fair warning. You might not ever want to come out of it!
Conclusion
Making the bed of your dreams isn’t as tough as you think. Simple additions to the bedding can take your bedding to the next level.
