How to style your bed with cushions and bedding
If you’re here it’s probably because you’re looking to make your bed look like the ones out of a magazine cover. The kind that looks so cosy, so snug that you just want to jump in for a nap. Well since we’ve already made the guess, might as well guide you to the bed of your dreams! Read ahead to find out how you can style your bed using cushions and bedding.
INVEST IN GOOD INSERTS
The first step to making the most luxurious bed you’ve laid in, is to make sure you are not skimping on the quality of your pillow, cushion and duvet inserts. It’s simple really, the better the inserts, the higher the probability of your cushions and bedding looking absolutely
perfect. Also, it isn’t just about the way they look, it’s also got a lot to do with the way it feels. The right inserts will not only look great but also feel unmistakably luxurious.
CHOOSE BETTER BEDSHEETS
The sheet you choose to lay out will act as the canvas for the rest of your bedding. Choosing the right size and material is extremely important. Cotton and cotton satin are great affordable choices. Even better if you go for a fitted sheet since these tend to look neater than a regular sheet.
STACK UP ON CUSHIONS
Love a cosy looking bed? Who doesn’t, right?! It’s almost impossible to create a cosy bed without adding cushions. There’s so much you can do with cushions. Try to work with a colour palette and play with a lot of textures. Euro cushions are great for adding some height whereas a lumbar cushion right at the front will create a balance with its own length to create the perfect canvas of cushion cloud. Also try to work with the other components of your room, you don’t want the bed to look too bohemian if the rest of your room is minimal or vice versa.
DON’T FORGET THE BEDDING
Have you ever come across a hotel bed that didn’t sport a duvet? Neither have we. While cushions may be great at making a bed look snug, a bed will forever look incomplete dressed in just sheets and cushions. Adding a duvet or a quilt or even a simple bedcover is what actually completes the look and makes a bed look as great as it does. Choose the colour and pattern of your bedding keeping in mind the cushions and vice versa. You don’t want the patterns to clash or look like they exactly match each other too much. A balance is always good. A simple double fold of your duvet at the neck of the bed right where the cushions start is all you need to complete the look of your magazine cover worth bed.

ADD A THROW
Adding a throw will definitely take your styling game up a notch. A throw is pretty much the only accessory that can justify its presence on the bed without looking like a decorative piece. Even if you choose to go with an all neutral bedding and solid cushions look, adding a throw with a little colour or pattern or both can instantly add the little something that was needed to pull the look together. While a throw isn’t always needed, it definitely helps if you don’t want to miss out on making the perfect bed.
