Your bedroom is your sanctuary, your place of relaxation and your very own space for well-deserved ‘me’ time. With most people leading increasingly busy lives it’s vital that your bedroom, and most importantly your bed, will help you relax and unwind. Here are some suggestions to help you create a beautiful bed.
1. Sheets and duvet covers
Never skimp on quality; it’s a false economy. Egyptian cotton with a high thread count is recommended for your luxury bed linen and will last for some time if treated with love and care. Duvet covers come in a range of cottons and linens as well as a broad range of colours. Choose a colour that fits in with your décor for a polished look.
2. Throws for the bed
The addition of a throw, especially if it’s crafted in a different fabric from your bedding, will always look stylish. A throw could complement your curtain design or you could have one that is made from a totally different design than anything else in the room. Throws make a bed look inviting, too, enhancing your bedroom with regard to comfort and allure as well as style.
3. Valances
The valance that surrounds the bed can hide a multitude of sins. These wonderful embellishments can also make a room and the bed look really pretty. Again you can have them in the same colour as the rest of your linen or you could have a valance in a contrasting colour.
4. Cushions for comfort and style
You can never have too many cushions and if they are covered in beautiful luxurious fabrics, they’ll add a real sparkle to your room. They’re also useful should you want to sit comfortably on your bed as they make sure that your back is supported. If you want to make sure that your bed looks really stylish, then make sure that you have a wide range of different sized cushions on the bed.
5. Covered headboards look great
If you have a minimalist style bedroom then you can introduce some colour with the aid of a fabric-covered headboard. This can either correspond with the rest of the room’s décor or you could choose a really bright fabric that will cheer you up every time you look at your bed.
6. Elegant pillows will enhance your bed
A beautifully embroidered white pillowcase is reminiscent of an earlier age. These covers are right on trend and if you have them covering a down stuffed pillow you’ll be sure of a good night’s sleep. Some people prefer herb filled pillows; lavender is a good idea in order to promote sleep.
7. Fabrics can be varied
You don’t have to stick to cotton sheets; you can always go for jacquard or linen. Jacquard will give your bed an air of sumptuous luxury and you can use this as a cover for the bed itself. However you decide to dress your bed, just make sure that it looks inviting and will always tempt you for a good night’s sleep.
