I don’t know about you, but the thing called “make your bed and don’t get exhausted” hasn’t worked out for me all my life. The best I can do is - this is to pile all the objects on top of each other in a more or less symmetrical mountain, and put a pillow on top like a proud boat. Guests, of course, won’t be confused by such things (they’ve seen other things), but sometimes you still want to be the owner of a bed made according to all the rules. Moreover, some people (for example, my dad) achieve a similar result in a matter of seconds! In our article today we will try to reveal all the intricacies of a perfectly made bed.
First of all, the very fact of what your bed is is important. Agree, it’s much easier to transform a narrow single bed with a thin mattress than a huge bed with a mountain of feather beds and pretty pillows. Also, a lot depends on how you sleep, - like a steadfast tin soldier or raking all the sheets under you.
The process of cleaning the bed begins with the fact that it must be thoroughly “shake up”. To do this, remove all items and adjust the mattress. After this, you carefully spread the sheet and carefully pull it around the entire perimeter of the bed. Corners can be tucked or pinned
– the latter option holds up more reliably. The blanket is folded in half and positioned so that approximately 15 centimeters remain from the headboard - pillows will be located in this place.In principle, we can end here. If you want to make the bed the decoration of the room, you can additionally throw a blanket and a few thought pillows on it.
The bedspread can completely hide the bed, or it can simply be casually thrown over it– options can be changed depending on your mood or the beauty of the bed linen.
As for pillows, the issue of measure is important here, as well as their location - from larger to less. In other words, if you have a small bed, then a couple of pillows will be enough, unless you use them for additional purposes, like in the fairy tale of the princess and the pea. A large bed can be decorated with pillows in several rows: they can vary in shape and color, but should be in harmony in style.
Bed life hacks
One of the most tedious parts of making a bed is inserting the blanket into the duvet cover. First, you look for the corners for a long time, then you try to awkwardly grab the blanket itself under these corners, and then you shake it for a long, long time so that it “spreads out” evenly. Not a bad exercise in the morning, isn’t it?
We found a video on how to put on a duvet cover in 40 seconds.
Last time, in the regional studies section, I promised several people to write about bed. (upd/I removed from here about duvet covers with a square hole, it turns out that these duvet covers have long since died out, judging by the comments. And they tell me about this again and again :) Therefore, let’s cross this point out of the conversation. I’ll put another emphasis - not the lack of duvet covers with a hole, but the lack of duvet covers as a class turns out to be a surprise)
An American bed is one way or another approximately the same everywhere - both at home and in hotels - and is somewhat different from the traditional Russian one. But it is quite easy to get used to an unfamiliar bed arrangement. The main thing is to understand the procedure.
Beds in America are divided by mattress size. I won’t torment you with inches, I can already vaguely imagine something in the region of 8-12 inches and show with my hands, but anything larger does not evoke an unconscious idea in me.
Crib or cradle size:71cm by 1m 32cm
Twin (Single) - “double-twin” or, funny as it may seem, single mattress: approximately 1 meter by 190.5 cm - this is a narrow bed for one.
I have a suspicion that it is called double because you can make a double bed from two.
Full (Double) - “full” or double size:137 cm by 190.5 cm. This is a comfortable bed for one.
Long Twin - long "twin": 91.5 cm by 203 cm
That is, it is narrower than a single mattress, but longer than it. Most college dorm bedrooms have beds this size.
Queen or Royal (in the sense of queen): 152.5 cm by 203 - this is a decent size double bed, the kind you often find in hotels.
King or Royal (in the sense of king): 193cm by 203cm
But besides the usual king, there is another variation.
California King - Californian king: almost 183 cm by 213.
If your couple is thin and long-legged, you should choose the Californian, which is 10 cm narrower and 10 cm longer.
Sometimes the kings are also called “eastern” and “western”.
These sizes represent everything, and beds and bedding are produced to fit these mattresses. Mattresses vary in height - from 23-25 cm to 38-40 cm.
The pillows have the shape of an elongated rectangle, and not the usual square, and are also selected to match the size of the mattress. A double bed should accommodate two matching pillows in width, and there should also be two of them on each bed. If the pillow is a regular size, then for a king you will need three in width.
The bed is usually placed with the headboard against the wall, so almost all of them have this very headboard - a beautiful or simple, usually quite high back, carved, quilted or forged from metal, leaning against the wall. The bed itself is a wooden or metal base - a simple frame with legs into which mattresses can be placed. First, a service mattress, the so-called box-spring, is placed into the frame. It looks like a mattress, the same size and height, but it has a solid wooden base and springs that help make the top mattress more even and comfortable. For the California King, this base is often made of two halves.
The bed mattress is placed directly on top of the base mattress. It has two quilted surfaces and can (and should!) be turned over from time to time so that it does not sag unevenly.
Two 25-40 cm mattresses on the base provide a comfortable height - you either squat on the bed or climb up :)
Metal base with corners, base mattress on it, sleeping mattress on top.
Now let's move directly to the bed.
The first layer is a bed skirt (bed ruffle, valance). It serves to cover the lower service mattress, legs and prevent dust from getting under the bed. That is why it is often called a “dust skirt”. it looks like a large tablecloth with frills or vertical edges. Its upper flat part is often made of non-woven interlining, and the vertical frill itself is made of beautiful material, matching the color to your bedding ensemble. It is matched not to linen, but to the top layer - a blanket, bedspread, decorative pillows. It is put on top of the base mattress and the frill-skirt extends evenly to the ground on all sides.
Below you can clearly see a skirt in the same color scheme as the bedding set.
The sleeping mattress, as I already said, is quilted on top and these bulges are quite noticeable under the sheet and on the sides of the polka dot princesses. Therefore, it is not a sheet that goes on the mattress, but a special mattress pad. Its top is lined with a soft layer - from down to foam rubber, and the sides are even. The mattress cover is sewn into a box - in the shape of the mattress, its sides are longer than the sides of the mattress, extend onto the lower flat side and are tightened there with elastic bands. Its upper soft part evens out the quilting of the mattress and, in addition, protects it from getting greasy and dirty. Coffee spills through the sheet will be absorbed into the mattress pad rather than leaving a stain on the satin white mattress.
An unusual sheet is spread over the mattress cover - a fitted sheet. It is sewn in the form of a box covering the mattress, it is pulled smoothly from above, straightened vertically along the sides of the mattress and tucked inside under the mattress, where it is held in place by an elastic band, which is gathered along the edge. This sheet, when separated, is an awkward pile of fabric with elasticated edges and requires a separate but easy folding skill. (If you still don't know how, ask the goddess of housekeeping, Martha Stewart.)
Now a duvet sheet (top sheet) is spread over the bed sheet. At its upper end there is a decorative edge - two-layer, denser with a edging along the folded edge.
The top sheet should be placed face down - that is, with the front surface facing the body, whether it is satin or flannel. The top sheet covers the entire surface of the bed and hangs evenly on all three sides. However, if you want to make your bed perfectly, you will have to make so-called “hospital corners” at the bottom - this is how beds are made in hospitals and hotels.
For hospital corners, the entire bottom side of the sheet, at the feet, should be tucked neatly and smoothly under the mattress. Then fold and tuck a piece of the sheet along the long edge so that the corner is snug and the remaining side piece hangs vertically down with a 45-degree fold at the foot of the bed.
(for the top sheet you need to stop at point D)
Now a thin comfort blanket is placed on top of the top sheet. Very approximately this can correspond to our flannelette or thin wool blanket without a duvet cover. (although it is more likely that a woolen knitted or woven thin blanket will be called a blanket) In the American version, it looks like a bedspread with velor pile, a soft low-pile dense bedspread (from which it is so convenient to cut rugs for beading) or a thin quilted one - a quilt. My comfort looks like a big soft blanket with the softest curly surface-pile. This part should be soft enough so that, together with the sheet, it comfortably fits the sleeping body. The comforter should be placed flat, below 20 centimeters on the edge of the sheet. The sheet is then folded over your face, going around the edges of the blanket, so that you have a smooth sheet all over your face. since the decorative edge was face down, when turned back it lays nicely face down on top of the edge of the blanket. For a beautifully made bed, the bottom of the comfort should also be folded with hospital corners.
Only in reality the blanket should go under the fold of the sheet.
A solid blanket of the owner’s choice is placed on top of the sheets and comfort. Usually this is a plump quilt with a beautiful decorative surface (warm comforter). It is not included in the duvet cover because it performs decorative functions. During the day it serves as a beautiful bedspread, and at night as a regular blanket. Since it does not touch the body directly, it does not require linen coverings and can be made from beautiful decorative fabrics. (however, you can also find something like a duvet cover - a beautiful fabric cover, more like a pillowcase, into which you can stuff your blanket or comforter. This thing is optional and serves to protect the blanket. It is often used in conjunction with a duvet - a plump blanket, often down, simple plain color, no decorations)
For convenience and beauty, the blanket is usually sold as a set - a petticoat, a blanket and decorative pillows (or just pillowcases) - these pillows are placed on the bed during the day when the bed is made, come in different sizes and usually different designs in one beautiful range. The easiest way to decorate a made bed is to put decorative pillowcases on top of pillow cases. And take them off at night. Ordinary sleeping pillowcases do not have fasteners, it is just a bag, open on one side, longer than the pillow in size, the excess edge is simply folded down. This edge is decorated decoratively in much the same way as the top of the sheet. Decorative pillowcases fasten at the back so that the pillow has a neat, completely enclosed and taut appearance.
The top blanket can be a beautiful blanket from a decorative fabric set, it can be a quilt - sewn from scraps and quilted, it can be a thick woven bedspread - double-sided with a pattern or textured - it depends on how warm you like to sleep and in what style see your bedroom. (A plump blanket made of beautiful fabric will also easily be called comforter on sale)
“Bottom” bedding is also often sold in sets - it includes pillowcases, a fitted sheet and a top sheet in the same color scheme and from the same material. They are packaged in neat briquettes the size of a thick book; the name of the bed size is written large on the thick plastic packaging.
Instructions on how to make a full hospital angle. Full means that the side hanging part is tucked in. This is how you can make a bed if you have a regular sheet, without elastic bands. If you are making a duvet sheet with hospital corners, then the side part is not tucked, but remains hanging with a fold at 45 degrees.

One hair in the bathroom can ruin the impression of the most beautiful hotel. Impeccable cleanliness of rooms is the basis of a hotel's reputation, and maids, like no one else, know how to restore perfect beauty in the shortest possible time. How to quickly make your bed? How to remove plaque and clean the drain?
Life in order
The maid cleans up to 20 rooms per shift, each taking her a maximum of half an hour. In order not to waste a minute and not spoil your work, you need to follow a clear sequence of actions. They start with the dirty: throwing out the trash, shaking out the bedspread. While the dust settles, the maid applies the chemical to the contaminated surfaces in the bathroom and leaves it for the products to take effect. It is better to turn the brush and leave it inside the toilet - this way it will also be disinfected.
Returning to the room, the maid remakes the bed. Then you need to wipe off the dust and vacuum: first the visible dirty places, then the entire room; It is advised to move from the far corner to the door.
After dry cleaning, you can do wet cleaning. Finishing touch- straighten the items so that everything lies neatly, and open the window. While the room is being ventilated, you need to finish the bathroom.
Tip: To avoid forgetting anything, you should move around each room clockwise or counterclockwise while cleaning.
Organize the perfect bed
The bed is the main subject not only of a hotel room, but also of a bedroom in an apartment. And, if at home you can afford creative chaos, in a hotel the bed should look perfect. Depending on the size of the beds, the hotel chooses a certain method of making them.
Standard beds are often made in the European style: a sheet at the bottom (preferably a fitted sheet), then a blanket in a duvet cover and a blanket on top (often not covering the entire bed, but only at the feet, a sachet or a bedspread).
For king size beds, the American method is more convenient: the blanket is not tucked into the duvet cover, but placed on the second, top sheet. You can put a thick blanket made of decorative fabrics on a thin blanket, which also serves as a bedspread.
In both cases, the sheets and blankets must be taut like a string using the hospital corner technique.
The duvet cover in hotels is made in the traditional way - insert two corners of the blanket and shake it sharply.
Tip: To avoid mattress failures during constant use, hotels turn them over and twist them once a quarter. Do the same at home.
Old toothbrushes are an idea
Every maid, even in the most expensive hotels, has old toothbrushes in her arsenal. They are most convenient for cleaning hair from the drain hole in the bathroom and holes in the sink, and getting to hard-to-reach places.
In many hotels, furniture is specially raised above the floor - wall-hung toilets and sinks greatly simplify cleaning. But if there is something on the floor, a toothbrush is indispensable for cleaning difficult places. In especially secluded places, cotton swabs help.
Savings issues
Proper cleaning can reduce costs. For example, toilet paper, turned away from the wall, is consumed more economically than hanging from the wall.
Foam is more profitable than liquid soap, and for paper towels it is advisable to have a dispenser and set it up wisely.
At the same time, there is no need to skimp on quality: rags, sponges, gloves must be durable, the stingy pays twice. Universal chemistry is a controversial topic. You shouldn’t succumb to advertising tricks and create a bottle for each action, but different surfaces need their own products: for ceramics - acid-based, for tiles and chrome - alkali-based, for mirrors - with a neutral PH. Sponges come with different abrasives: it is better to wash a new bathtub with white abrasive, old ones can be washed with green abrasive.
Check: clean?
The bed is made, the floor is washed, the mirrors sparkle, but something elusive does not allow you to believe in cleanliness. A room will never look perfect if dirt remains in hard-to-reach places.
How long has it been since you cleaned your door hinges? What about corners, crevices, walls? Curtains, houseplants? From time to time a general cleaning is needed. There are some tricks here too. For example, if you wash a window vertically from the inside and horizontally from the outside, it will be easy to determine which side has not been washed. The polish is applied along the grain of the wood to a surface that is free of dust and fingerprints. Mirrors are checked with steam: fogging reveals streaks and drops.
Attention to detail
A professional maid is very observant. In the best hotels in the world, individual service is built on this, because only the maid can study the client’s habits and preferences.
For example, in one Austrian castle there is a rule: if there is a wrapper from the same candy in the trash can for two days in a row, on the third day the guest receives a box of the same as a gift. Of course, there is no point in digging through the trash at home, but how nice it will be for loved ones to receive perfume as a gift to replace the ones that ran out, or to discuss a new book found in a pile of pillows.
Most often, when we think about the interior of a room, we imagine decorative ornaments, paintings, vases. But the main decoration of the bedroom is still the bed. And depending on what model, design and appearance, depends on the appearance of the room as a whole. But even if this is the most stylish and modern bed, it must be carefully made. Otherwise, her expensive and presentable appearance may get lost under an incomprehensible cover. So, how to beautifully make a bed in the bedroom so that it looks spectacular?
How to make a bed so that it is the main decoration of the bedroom?
Most likely, we make our bed in the old and proven way: we simply lay out the bedspread evenly on the bed, while trying to hide the bed linen and remove the pillows as carefully and deeply as possible. And we don’t pay much attention to the appearance of the bedspread. But such a piece of furniture can incredibly change the entire atmosphere in the room. It will be useful to learn and learn how to make your bed beautifully.
What do we have on the bed?
First of all, we need to figure out what our bed decoration consists of:
- “Dust skirt” or valance. Its task is to cover the mattress and bed frame, as well as protect them from dust.
- Mattress cover. To protect the mattress from dirt, moisture and dust, be sure to use a mattress cover.
- Blanket.
- Cover. It covers the bed linen from dust and creates a neat look.
- Pillows. They can be either for sleeping or decorative.
Refueling correctly
Let's move on directly to the actions to create a beautiful and pleasant appearance for our sleeping place:
- A clean and ironed valance is placed over the mattress or on the bed frame. The lush frill should be evenly spread to the floor along the entire perimeter.
- Wear a mattress cover.
- Lay down and smooth the sheet. The edges of the product should flow freely.
- Tuck the sheet under the mattress.
- Place the blanket on top of the tucked sheet. If the size of the blanket is larger than the mattress in width or length, then fold the excess elements or leave them hanging.
- Place a blanket; it should be larger in size. Its edges can reach the floor.
- Decorate the surface of the bed with pillows.
Now, knowing the basic principles and steps of how to make a bed beautifully, you can focus on creating a complete and stylish look for the bedroom. There are many important factors and nuances in this process, which are best discussed in detail.
Softly making your bed: 10 tricks to make your bed like in a 5-star hotel
What methods and techniques can you borrow from hospitality professionals? They certainly know how to beautifully make a bed in the bedroom! If you want to give the same luxury and chic look to your bedroom, then let's find out what the experts are looking for.
Mattress
When caring for a bed in expensive hotels Special attention given to the mattress. First of all, all elements and bedding are removed from the bed, and then they are vacuumed and cleaned most thoroughly. To cover the bed frame and also to prevent dust from getting under it, hotels use valances, or so-called “skirts”. Then a mattress cover is put on, which performs a number of very useful functions: smoothes the surface of the mattress, protects from dirt and dust, as well as moisture.
Sheet
This element of bed linen must be carefully and carefully smoothed - the sheet must be absolutely flat. To do this, tuck it well under the mattress on all sides.
Hotel maids have found their own way to do this most efficiently. Their secret is that they spray the fabric with water from a spray bottle - this makes all the steps easier to create a perfectly flat surface.
Important! You can add a drop to the water essential oil, for example, lavender. This will give a special aroma to the sleeping area.
Bedspread or bed linen?
Bedspreads are also used in hotels and inns. They are carefully selected to match the interior of each room. However, designers sometimes resort to interesting solutions. For example, do not use a bedspread, but use only beautiful bed linen. Or put another sheet on, but face down. If you peel back the blanket, its design will be visible.
Decorative pillows
With their help you can create a wide variety of compositions in the interior. Their number, style, color and shape, texture of materials and fabric may vary.
Important! To keep your pillows looking fluffy and soft, be sure to fluff them every time you make your bed.
Pillows can be placed on the bed strictly symmetrically, or, on the contrary, in creative disorder. And even the angle of inclination matters! Try installing the pillows evenly or at an angle of 45 degrees - it seems like a small thing, but this changes the appearance noticeably. Or another option is to stack them in the form of a pyramid: from largest to smallest.
Important! Do not overdo it with decorative elements, since the smaller the dimensions of your furniture, the fewer elements you need to use.
Graceful diagonal or fold
We are used to making the bed evenly and standardly. But a very pleasant effect is created by the additional bedspread, which elegantly hangs diagonally at the corner of the berth. This gives the environment a more homely feel and a feeling of someone's close presence.
You can also make a decorative fold. To do this, cover the bed with a blanket - it should hang evenly along the edges and be even. Near the headboard we bend the top edge of the bedspread along with the blanket. About one third. And then we bend the free edge inward.
Carelessness in the interior
Many designers advise using such an accent in the interior. It allows you to create a light, subtle mess in the room, which turns the room from austere and spartan into a cozy home.
Important! Don't confuse it with sloppiness! You need to make the bed so that it is clear that you cleaned the bed, but did not want to achieve absolute order.
Bed sheets
Currently, bed linen is of excellent quality and rich design. A variety of colors and patterns, the quality and texture of fabrics - it’s such a shame to hide all this under a blanket. Designers advise not to hide such beauty from view. You can simply make your bed neatly and still be on top of fashion trends in design.
Multi-layering
In luxury hotels you can often see an extra blanket at the bottom of the bed, at the feet. It is laid beautifully in a wide strip. Try to do the same! Not only does this serve as an additional decor, but it also has a special meaning: if you want to lie down, you can cover yourself with a blanket without having to completely spread out the bed. Agree, it is very convenient and practical!
Decorations
If the style of the bedroom allows, then you can decorate the bedspread with various ribbons, openwork lace, edging, etc. Such decorative elements give the product a sophisticated and complete look. Feel free to use these details if your room is designed in classic style or Art Deco.
Combination with curtains
Although this approach to the design of interior textiles is a little outdated, however, designers still do not stop resorting to it. Stylists advise sewing a characteristic bedspread from curtain fabric.
These little secrets will help you make your bedroom no worse than those in 5-star hotels.
How to make your bed properly in just a few minutes?
To do something efficiently and respectably, of course, takes time. But how can you make your bed beautifully if you don’t have this resource at your disposal at the moment?
So, follow this sequence of actions:
- We empty the bed, remove all accessories from it and decorative accessories except the mattress.
- Carefully spread the sheet. The corners are tucked under the mattress, or they hang over the sides of the bed.
- Shake the blanket and cover the sheet with it.
- We lay a blanket on top. Straighten, align the edges to the same length, decorate with pillows, if any.
Important! In order to speed up the process of making your bed, you will need a sheet with an elastic band. It holds tightly to the mattress and does not slip or curl overnight.
But the longest and least favorite process is tucking the blanket into the duvet cover.
We offer you a way with which you can cope with this in just 40 seconds!
- The duvet cover, turned inside out, is laid out evenly on the surface of the bed.
- A blanket is placed on top of it in the same way.
- Then these two elements are twisted along the width of the products.
- We fold both ends of the resulting roll inward, thread it through the hole in the duvet cover and turn it inside out.
Important! Only those duvet covers are suitable whose hole is located on the edge, and not in the middle.
- Let's unwind our roll back.
Criteria for choosing a bedspread
What should you pay attention to when choosing a bedspread? What product criteria are important?
The cover has an impact on created interior bedrooms in general. Besides, you plan to use it for more than one year. Therefore, the choice must be approached carefully.
So, we list the factors that need to be taken into account.
Product color
If you want to beautifully make the bed in the bedroom, then be sure to analyze which colors suit the style of the room, its furniture and decorative elements. You need to “enter” new accessory as organically as possible. The bedspread can be matching general interior, or vice versa - become a bright decoration.
Important! When choosing the color of textiles, some stylists advise paying attention to which side of the world your bedroom is located. So, for the southern part you can use cold shades, but for the northern side of the world - more colorful ones to “warm” the room.
Size
To choose the right size bedspread, it is important to take into account just a couple of nuances:
- the product should hang in such a way as to cover the bed linen, mattress and bed frame;
- You can calculate the size of the bedspread like this: add the length, width and two heights of the bed.
Material
The most important criterion is the quality of the fabric, its reliability, service life and hypoallergenicity. The material of the bedspread may also depend on the time of year:
- IN summer period cover the bed with a blanket made of light material. For example, satin, cotton or silk.
- In the cold season, wool, cashmere or even fur materials are more suitable.
Important! On large beds, products made of dense fabric that hold their shape well look beautiful, while lighter and airier materials are suitable for single beds.
Of course, most often preference is given to natural fabrics. However, progress does not stand still! Microfiber is a modern and very practical material. This fabric is very pleasant to the touch and easy to care for.
Design
The bedspread can be made in the most different styles and interpretations, pay special attention to its texture and print.
Important! The most advantageous ornaments are often floral, ornate patterns, and geometric shapes.
A wide range of products in stores will give you the opportunity to choose, taking into account all the above criteria. However, if a solution cannot be found, you can always use custom tailoring services. This way, you can achieve amazing results, while all your wishes will be taken into account to the maximum extent possible.
Important! There are situations when tailoring services are the only possible solution. For example, non-standard models or bed sizes.
Bedspread style - design features
If you look back 15-20 years, it was considered traditional to match the bedspread to the color and style of the curtains. This design option is still used today, but not so strictly and universally. Moreover, in our century there is a huge number design solutions how to make a bed beautifully.
Bedspread cover
For a standard-sized bed, a cover may be the optimal solution. This option is suitable if the model of the bed and its style imply the use of a short bedspread that extends to the floor. This cover can be purchased at specialized home textile stores. The main thing is to know the exact dimensions of the mattress; it is based on these that the cover is selected.
Important! Please note that you need to add 5-10 cm to the measurements taken so that the bed linen and blanket will fit when tucked in.
Due to its design, the cover looks quite strict and ascetic, so it is ideal for a bedroom interior in modern style or Minimalism. It can be plain or decorated with some kind of ornament.
Important! The cover-cover is especially well suited for furniture made of solid wood, as it does not hide, but rather emphasizes carvings or various decor.
Bedspread with valance
This type of textile decoration for your bedroom is suitable for a high bed or a model with a thick mattress. The style of the valance can be very different: lush or strict, dense or more airy, different in texture, it is also possible to decorate it with ruffles or flounces. Choice of the most suitable option will tell you the interior of your bedroom.
Important! A bedspread with a valance makes the interior of the room romantic and elegant.
Knitted and woven bedspreads
Textiles in this design are especially suitable for rooms in Provence or Vintage style. Knitted patterns and lace, embroidery and other handicraft elements make the atmosphere in the room cozy and homely warm.
Important! To highlight such hand-made products favorably, choose plain bed linen.
Ruffles, flounces and ruffles for bed design
These bedspread design elements have a visual effect that increases the size of the bed. Therefore, before applying such decoration, pay attention to the dimensions of the room itself and its relationship with the bed:
- If the room is small and the bed is spacious enough, then the abundance of flounces and ruffles will only fill the entire space.
- But in medium and large sized rooms this option will be just great!
Important! A bedspread with such drapery gives the sleeping area a sweet and romantic look. Therefore, it is most suitable for a girl’s room.
Patchwork style bedspread
A patchwork quilt is not just a bedspread, but an exclusive and unique accent in your interior. It is distinguished by originality and originality. In addition, quilted products using the patchwork technique create indescribable coziness and comfort in the room.
Double-sided bedspread
A very effective way to change the situation with just one movement! Flip the bedspread and the style of your bedroom will change dramatically. If the room is designed in light colors, then use it to create a bright accent.
Depending on the interior of the room, one or another style of bedspread may suit you. Or perhaps even a combination of several of them.
Color solutions for bedroom textiles
One of the important aspects of how to beautifully make a bed in the bedroom is the colors and patterns of the selected textiles, which influence the image of the room as a whole. A variety of combinations are possible color solutions in the interior. It all depends on your taste and bedroom design. When experimenting, the main thing is to adhere to the rules of harmony and consonance of all elements.
Let's look at a few options that are the most popular:
- Match the color of the textile decoration to the tone of the room and its interior. For example, for a bedroom in light shades, a beige bedspread is perfect.
Important! To ensure that the textiles do not blend into the decor, pay attention to the shade: it may be slightly lighter or darker than the overall color scheme of the interior.
- Contrast. If the bedroom design is made in neutral colors and discreet furniture elements, then in this case you can play with contrast. Thus, the bedspread will become a bright accent in your room and will attract attention.
- Combination of textiles with wallpaper. For example, you can combine them in this way: use the color of the wallpaper pattern as the main background of the bedspread. By repeating the pattern you can also achieve a harmonious image.
- Try to match the color of the fabric of the bedspreads and headboard draperies. You can use several ways to combine: the same fabric, the main background, the color of the pattern or pattern.
Important! Complete the interior of the bed with decorative pillows, this way you will “dilute” the composition.
- One of the best solutions may be to use black and white colors. The advantages of this design are the versatility of such colors, their contrast, but at the same time, the lack of diversity in execution.
- A color nuance in textiles can be its pattern. For example, an ethnic ornament will give the interior exclusivity and originality.
- One-color solutions. Currently one of the fashion trends is White color sleeping textiles. True, it requires crystal purity, but the effect created is worth it. The room becomes spacious, airy and fresh.
Important! To make a white bedspread look even more interesting, decorate it with folds, interceptions and original draperies.
- Gray paints in the bedroom interior are quite unpretentious. An interesting example is the color of raw flax.
- But the black design is quite bold decision, but the effect is amazing. The bed will look expressive, expensive and chic.
As you can see, there are many ways available to make your bed beautifully using the right color scheme to create beauty and comfort in your bedroom.
A completed and thoughtful interior often lies in the little things. However, upon closer examination, it turns out that these are far from trifles, but important aspects of interior design. The bedroom is an integral part of our life, we spend our holidays in it, so it is so important to create a comfortable and cozy environment in it in order to relax and enjoy sleep.
To maintain cleanliness and comfort in the apartment, large temporary resources are not always needed. For example, a carelessly folded bed will most often look messy, even if the room is generally clean. However, a beautifully made bed will immediately create the effect of order in the bedroom.
Practicality and hygiene
A perfectly made bed not only creates a visual effect of order. You need to understand that only in this case will you be able to adhere to a number of rules related to personal hygiene. At night, bedding will definitely absorb a certain amount of sweat and sebum. This is why you don’t need to make your bed immediately after waking up.
Open the window and let the bedding dry and air out. Remove all items from the mattress to allow it to dry completely. Turn pillows and blankets over, shake and smooth the sheets. However, if you leave the bed completely unmade, dust will settle on its surface, and in this case, freshness is out of the question.
If you are using big amount pillows and blankets, you can fold them comfortably and beautifully without creating clutter in the bedroom.
Ways to make your bed beautifully
If you don’t have a special bedspread and other accessories, you can make your bed beautifully without them. In this case, give preference to plain bed linen, the color scheme of which harmonizes well with the interior of the bedroom. Spread the blanket over the bed. Fold back the top third. Place pre-fluffed pillows in the empty space. Depending on their shape, you can place them vertically, horizontally, or at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the headboard.
Of course, decorative bedspreads, blankets and pillows give you much more room for imagination and create a cozy atmosphere in the bedroom. Their choice depends only on your taste preferences. In any case, even an elaborately made bed will look much neater than just folded bedding. Most often, a beautiful bedspread or blanket that completely covers the bed linen is enough. Choose an option that is wrinkle-resistant and easy to clean. Then you can express your creative impulses.
Place scented sachets, such as lavender, between the pillows. In the evening, when you throw back the covers, you will be enveloped in a relaxing and sleep-inducing aroma.
For example, buy or sew several pillows of different sizes, made in one color scheme. Place them at the head, alternating. In addition, you can use two bedspreads of different textures and sizes: if you put them together, you will create a visual effect of volume on the bed.
