Do you ever look through bedroom inspiration images and wonder how designers make their beds look so flawless? I know I do! If only I could make our bed look that perfect every morning I’d be happy camper! The truth is, there are lots of tips and tricks designers use to style and photograph their spaces to make them look as presentable as possible.
I thought it would be fun to step behind the scenes and share five secrets of a styled bed! I’m revealing five of my behind-the-scenes secrets that will hopefully help you keep your bedroom stylish and functional. Because what kind of friend would I be if I kept my secrets all to myself? 😉
5 Secrets of a Styled Bed
1. Use Deep Pocket Sheets (20% off now!)
My BEST secret for keeping the sheets on our mattress. The Company Store’s deep pocket sheets stay nice and snug so you won’t have to fuss with them slipping and sliding. Plus, they’re so easy to put on since they fit the mattress perfectly!
2. Hide the Box Spring
Box springs don’t always fit beds seamlessly. To avoid exposing the box spring, I use a simple curtain panel or flat sheet and tuck it between the mattress and box spring. The Chambray Voile Yarn-Dyed Rod Pocket Window Panel from The Company Store provides the perfect solution to this problem!
3. Create a Pillow ‘V’
Style your throw pillows by putting the larger ones in the back and building to the smaller ones in the front. A stack of pretty pillows is all you need to make your bed look like it was styled by a pro! I always opt for the Concord Pillow Covers from The Company Store because they come in tons of sizes and colors, making styling super simple!
4. Keep it Simple
I do make our bed each morning, but I don’t necessary style it to perfection. There’s a difference between the two! haha. Keeping our bed styled with my favorite basics means making the bed is quick and easy each morning. Adding subtle layers will keep your bed looking stylish without adding too much time to your bed-making routine. The Gossamer Cotton Blanket and Organic Cotton Blanket are my very favorite layering blankets. I use them on our guest and master beds!
5. Invest in Quality Bedding
Since your bedding gets a lot of use, it’s important to invest in quality products to keep it from looking drab. All of our bedding is from The Company Store! They’re my go-to for all things bed and bath. I love how all their options come in a variety of sizes and colors, making ordering a total breeze since there’s something for every style! Like I mentioned earlier, we have the deep pocket sheets which I highly recommend. We also have the linen duvet paired with their down comforter insert. Did I mention the down comforter insert comes in five colors, four comfort weights, and six sizes to meet your needs? And if that wasn’t enough is also has loops in each corner to ensure your duvet cover stays put! Shop all my favorite bedding from The Company Store below!
