6 Steps to a Stylish Bed:
1. Sheets
Featured Product: Legends Luxury™ Egyptian Cotton Sateen Flat Sheet and Fitted Sheet
Styling Tip: Start by placing your fitted sheet on the mattress followed by the flat sheet. Wrap the corners of the sheets like you would wrap a gift box! This keeps will make your bed look polished and stylish while setting a firm foundation for the bed that keeps the sheets from shifting out of place. The Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet set is a great product since they’re made from 100% Egyptian cotton and are super soft at an 800-thread count.
2. Bed Blanket
Featured Product: Cotton Weave Blanket in Mineral Gray
Styling Tip: Layer a bed blanket over the top of the sheets. I love using a stylish blanket to incorporate color and texture on the bed. The Cotton Weave Blanket, Gossamer Cotton Blanket, and Egyptian Cotton Blanket are all great options from The Company Store.
3. Duvet
Featured Product: Legends Luxury™ Egyptian Cotton Sateen Duvet Cover in white and Legends Hotel™ Organic Cotton, Down Comforter
Styling Tip: Place the duvet and insert on top of the quilt. While the sheets and bed blanket will be folded down one-third of the way, fold the duvet down a little farther to about two-thirds of the way down the bed. I’ve tried both the Relaxed Linen Duvet Cover and Egyptian Cotton Sateen Duvet Cover and was so impressed with both! Opt for the Linen duvet if you like more of a relaxed, organic look, and the sateen duvet if you like things classic and clean!
4. Bedspread
Featured Product: Legends Luxury™ Hollins Cotton Bedspread – Natural
Styling Tip: Think of your bed like it’s divided into thirds. The sheets and blanket are layered on the first third, the duvet is on the second third, and the quilt is on the final third. This gives the bed dimension and contrast!
5. Pillows
Featured Product: Standard Legends Hotel™ Relaxed Linen Sham and Company LoftAIRE Down Alternative Pillows
Styling Tip: There are many ways to style pillows on a bed. To keep things simple, I layered two standard sized pillows at the top of the bed. This creates a basic foundation for the rest of the decorative pillows. Be sure to check out The Company Store’s wide selection of standard, king, and Euro shams to curate a look you love!
6. Final Accents
Styling Tip: Finish off the look by layering pillows and adding accents throughout the room. For this look, I layered 2 20” pillows and one lumbar. As for mixing pillow patterns, one fool-proof way to pair pillows is to use one plan, one textured, and one patterned pillow cover. This will allow them to work together to create a curated look without clashing! Stop by The Company Store for a wide variety of throw pillows and decorative accents.
There you have it! This is my go-to way for styling our beds. You can use these basic steps and incorporate various styles of bedding to fit your personal style! Don’t forget to use code T21SLEEP at The Company Store for 20% off sitewide!
