Making a Bed.....the Designer way!!
To me.... the way your bed is made is very important, it adds to the luxury and comfort of your bed and sleep.
After a busy day there is nothing better than jumping into a beautifully made bed like you are staying in a five star hotel. The crisp white sheets, fluffy doona and pillows make me feel like I am sleeping on a bed of clouds!!
People often ask me to teach them how to make a bed so below are 10 steps of making a bed the designer way.....
STEP 1
Fitted sheet first.
STEP 2
Place top sheet on top of entire bed.
STEP 3
Fold top sheet a quarter of the way back towards the “foot” end of the bed. Fold sheet all the way across where my hand is placed on the sheet.
STEP 4
Pat top sheet to remove all creases then tuck all three loose sides neatly into bed.
STEP 5
Place either your doona/quilt on top of entire bed.
STEP 6
Fold doona/quilt back either in half or thirds to “foot” end of bed.
STEP 7
Pillow Time – Place 2 x European pillows against bedhead.
STEP 8
Place 4 x standard pillows in front of European pillows. Sleeping pillows on the bottom and display on the top.
STEP 9
Place 2 x decorative scatter cushions in front of the 4 x standard pillows with a karate chop in the middle to ensure the corners are crisp.
STEP 10
Final touch – add a little colour with a throw at the end of the bed!!
If you have any questions about making your bed or tips let me know I would love to hear from you.
