How To Make A Bed Professionally

Making your bed has probably been part of your morning routine for decades. But how to make a bed professionally? To style a bed like a pro and create a cozy layered bed is a lot more than just adding a sheet set with a duvet on top. In this blog, we’ll provide you with a guide on how to decorate a bed professionally.

The feeling of sleeping on a comfortable, luxurious bed is unparalleled. This makes many of us want to go out of the way and be a little extravagant when it comes to sleeping arrangements. 

Mattress Topper

A mattress topper provides both comfort and protection. It may also be used as a mobile mattress itself. For pro bed styling, you may choose from either of these two mattress toppers:

1. Memory Foam

When you have a partner who is a light sleeper, a memory foam topper is an ideal solution. It reduces the effect of the other person’s movement by 50% hence keeping you disturbance-free. 

Some other benefits you’ll get to enjoy include:

• No slippage 
• Eco-friendly 
• Easy cleaning with a removable topper that can be thrown in a washer

2. Synthetic Latex Foam

Along with providing the right balance between providing support and allowing heat to escape, such mattress toppers also provide:

• Firm yet cushioned feel
• Limited squeaking and bouncing
• Guarantee to last for years 

Bed Sheets

Once you’ve placed a comfortable mattress with a mattress topper, it’s time to add the sheets.

Bottom Sheet

This layer is essential for providing a clean and restful sleeping surface. 

It is usually fitted with elastic all around the edges. For pro bed styling, choose fitted sheets that have deep pockets so they fully cover the edges of the mattress. 

Top Sheet

Lay the top sheet facing down on the bed, then pull it to the top of the bed as far as you can. Fold the ends at the bottom of the bed under the mattress. 

To decorate your bed professionally, make sure you choose sheets with a good thread count. Egyptian cotton sheets, for instance, gives sheets a silky feel. Or you could opt for decadent silk bed sheets!

Blankets

Blankets are optional, depending on your personal preference. However, they do help you to style your bed like a pro. 

To place a blanket on your bed in a way that adds to the luxurious aesthetic, lay it on the bed and adjust it in a way that the top hem is a pillows-width below the top edge of the mattress. Then, spread the sides of the blanket evenly over the mattress and tuck the sides under the mattress like the fitted sheets. 

Bed Topper

From quilts and bedspreads to comforters and duvets, there are multiple options when it comes to bed toppers. 

However, a nice, heavy comforter with a breathable cotton duvet is one of the various secrets to a perfect night’s sleep. To make it look presentable, lay your bed topper over the blanket and make sure it is evenly draped on all sides of your mattress. If it is double patterned, fold it ⅓ of the way over the end of the top of it to expose the pattern play. 

The good part is that while these toppers can be used as a statement piece to set the tone for your room, they are also easy to switch and style every season.

Style With Pillows

When decorating your bed professionally, following interior designers’ tips can be helpful. In the case of styling a bed with pillows, it is recommended to go for odd numbers — three, five, or seven. This removes symmetry and catches the eye more than even-numbered arrangements.

You can go for fill pillows or feather pillows for extra softness. Adding coordinating euro shams that match the duvet can provide decoration and add pattern to the bed while making it fluffier and cozier. 

The order of placing your pillows goes as follows: sleeping pillows, European shams, and throw pillows. But, make sure you have a sanitary storage place, like a basket or trunk, to store extra pillows when they’re not in use. For example, while sleeping when you only need sleeping pillows.

Add A Throw Blanket

Throw blankets can come in handy when styling your bed like a pro. Their main purpose is to add an additional decorative element to a bed and create a cozy atmosphere. Since a throw is intended to add character and style, it is smaller in size than blankets. 

For those of you who like to switch up your bedding for different seasons, throws are an inexpensive solution. You can layer them across the foot of the bed or position them at different angles to create an elegant ambiance. 

Some of the popular materials that you can choose from include wool, cotton, and chenille.

FAQs

How do you make a bed like a designer?

There are a couple of different ways to style a bed like a pro. Getting the layers, textures, patterns, and colors right may be knotty. 

An easy way to upgrade the feel of your bed is to put effort into a headboard. It can add a personal touch to every bed and complement the theme without taking up too much space. 

Apart from that, you may go beyond the basics and add some accents like an oblong pillow to add a more luxurious vibe. 

Styling a bed with bed skirt can also upscale your bed’s appearance. You can choose something that matches your comforter or even match it with your wall paint for an interconnected style.

Conclusion

Considering the amount of time spent sleeping in our lives, having a well-made bed deserves more attention. 

Crawling into bed and negotiating with twisted sheets and misplaced pillows can make sleeping harder. So, it’s time that you make your bed professionally and enjoy a blissful, peaceful sleep every night upon layers of designer bedding.
