The Well Styled Bed
Creating a bed that is comfortable, cozy and stylish can sometimes be a tricky thing to pull off. Not only do you want a relaxing haven to rest your pretty little head, you also want it to look pretty. When designing bedding for a client or model home, I love to mix different textures, colors and patterns to achieve an eclectic look. The last thing I want to do is make it look like I bought bedding in a bag where everything matches. I usually style a bed by layering duvets, pretty sheets, cozy throws and fun accent pillows. What do you prefer on your bed? Lots of pillows? Expensive sheets? A minimal "less is more" look? Do tell!

Beautiful photos, inspiring interior design ideas. I like a lot, especially the first.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of layering up. I like to start with a thick and snug duvet, on top of this I like to put a quilt over the end of the bed followed by a blanket and then thinner / smaller blanket which acts as a runner. I like to use 3 cushions in front of the pillows - normally two square matching and then a rectangular cushion in front of that. I completely agree, I think that the key is to use lots of textures and materials - I don't like too matchy matchy but I do like working within a colour palette and then perhaps adding a bold pop of colour here or there for interest!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images!! Love the different layers. I definitely like the eclectic look.

Can you tell me where the rug in the 2nd photo came from? Camel walls, white bed with bench?
