Making Your Bed: Do’s, Don’ts and Tips
Beautiful, luxurious bedding already makes a big difference, but a truly inviting bedroom comes to life when your bed is neatly made. It helps your beautiful duvet cover shine, and there’s more to it than just looks. Making your bed properly helps create a calm, comfortable space – and that means a better night’s sleep too. So, how do you make your bed in the best way? And what should you avoid? Here’s everything you need to know about making your bed, plus a few ideas for styling it beautifully.
What You Should and Shouldn’t Do
When making your bed, it’s best to fold your duvet back during the day. This allows air to flow and any moisture to dry out. What you shouldn’t do is cover your mattress completely with the duvet. This stops both your duvet and mattress from ventilating properly, which can shorten their lifespan. That’s the practical side of making your bed. Want your bed to look beautiful as well? We’ve got some styling tips for that too!
It’s All in the Details
A beautifully made bed starts with beautiful bedding. Make sure your mattress, duvet and pillows fit well inside their covers, and that your bedding is clean and fresh. Pull everything tight for a tidy, crisp look. Then you can move on to styling. Try decorating your bed with cushions in your favourite colours, textures and prints. There are many ways to style your bed – for example, the American style uses plenty of decorative cushions neatly arranged in layers. The finishing touch? Add a bedspread or throw to bring extra warmth and a cosy atmosphere.
More Tips
Want to make your bed look extra luxurious, like in a hotel? Try using two duvets instead of one. Put each duvet in a separate cover for a stylish look. This way, you can mix and match colours, fabrics and prints.
It’s also practical: you can choose each night whether to sleep under one or two duvets. That’s perfect when the weather changes, and some nights feel warmer or cooler than others.
Making Up Your Duvet
A beautifully made bed only looks its best when the duvet cover is put on properly. It can be tricky, but with the right steps, it’s quick and easy:
- Lay your duvet flat on the bed, in the right position. Turn your duvet cover inside out, with the opening at the foot of the bed.
- Put your hands into the two inside corners of the cover and grab the bottom corners of the duvet.
- Holding the corners firmly, shake the cover down over the duvet until it falls into place. Then adjust the remaining corners and close the cover.
