You've made your bed, now dress and style it! – From Mixing patterns and surfaces to floral prints in your bedding set
It would certainly make our lives easier (and our bed-making attempts more successful), if we knew the most popular bed dressing hacks, including how to style throws, cushions and other bed accessories and just some general advice on how to make your bed look super stylish.
Take note on how to take your bed from boring to beautiful:
Duvet Covers
A current trend in bedding is reversible duvet covers and mixing prints. This not only provides two options for the main design on the show – you can change the look daily – but it adds a fantastic additional feature to a bed when the top of the duvet cover is turned down with magical color and print on the duvets adds elegance look to your room.
Throws
Throws are still a great styling device for beds, but ensure it's not too neatly folded along the bottom of the bed. Throws should now look more informal, casually draped over the corner of the bed or left lying on the sofa gives your space a modern look.
Bed Spread
Adding a bedspread can not only inject a strong color element into the focal point of the room (the bed) but it's also a great instant update for autumn/winter bedroom.
Cushions
Cushions are still essential for a super stylish bed. But how many? Three is a magic number in styling, or certainly an odd number, and maybe stick to under six in total in a Super King or King and three for a Single. Mix cushions in different shapes, colors, designs and textures for a current look, and display in a non-uniform arrangement. Cushions are also a great way to juxtaposition design elements or colors. Invest in cushion covers that you can change seasonally to avoid having to spend too much.
Pillows
The most common question asked with regards to styling a bed is whether pillows should be above the duvet or tucked underneath. Style your room with our elegant pillows form Home Line Store.
Layering is key
Texture and layering is another key trend. The aim should be to achieve 'casual elegance' – layer up bedding and accessories for an effortless look that doesn't try too hard.
Pillow Protectors
A decorative covering for pillows, a pillow or a mattress protectors will provide further contrast to smaller square or round scatter cushions and looks great on top of a regular pillow
Create a theme or color palette
Pick a bold daring design that makes the bed the focal point to pay attention then build up the theme around the bedding style. For example, bedding with a botanical design can be complemented with a green color sofa, curtains in light green color opened little to have a look outside and rich colored walls with mirror designed with florals and a lightening effect to add a rich look.

Accessories time
Dressing beds is all about attention to detail. Small details like a button, exposed zip, piped edge or metallic foiling can add that extra layer of sophistication to bed styling and what lies beneath is important and a curtain accessories to give an extra royal elegant touch to your room.
Use quality bedding
You do get what you pay for when it comes to bedding – both in terms of duvet and pillow covers and the filled bedding. Go for best bedding from Home Linen Store – it will not only ooze style but also withstand regular washing. Remember to give pillows and duvets a good shake before dressing the bed to even out the filling and return their plump.
