From pillows to a blanket, we tell you how to make any bed beautifully. We show options for the design of beds of any size and ideas for different interior styles.

Making a bed beautifully is a whole art. High-quality textiles significantly affect the quality of sleep, and the way it looks, the atmosphere of the room and the general mood. In this article we will figure out how to make the bed in the bedroom so that it is beautiful and cozy.

All about how to make a beautiful bed

What should be on the bed

The minimum set for any sleeping place: a sheet, pillows and a blanket. Decorative textiles are optional, but they make the composition more stylish, cozy and finished. Let’s look at the example of photos of made beds, how to choose each element.

Bedsheet

The bottom layer is very important, because during sleep we are in contact with the sheet with the whole body. It is important to choose a high-quality fabric that will be pleasant to the touch, let in air, maintain a comfortable temperature. But let’s not forget about the decorative component, so you also need to decide on the model.

A sheet can be:

A little secret to make a bed, as in a hotel: the sheet can be lightly sprayed from a spray gun so the canvas will be much easier to smooth. And if you add a couple of drops of essential oil to the water, then the room will also be filled with a pleasant soothing aroma.

Pillows

Pillows are placed on top of the sheet. They come in two types: for sleeping and decorative.

Depending on the general style and your preferences, there may be a minimum of them (for example, one per person) or a whole bunch. But remember that you shouldn’t overdo it either: there shouldn’t be so many pillows that you can’t see the bed behind them.

Pillows can be placed symmetrically, exactly in a row if you like strict classical compositions. In this case, buy them in pairs: two or four of each type. Or, if you want an artistic mess, stack them randomly, one on top of the other. If you lay out the products in rows, go from large to smaller.

Decorative accessories can be in the tone of the general palette or, conversely, brighter: saturated colors, with inscriptions or interesting patterns. Sometimes, instead of classic rectangular or square models, rollers are chosen. Pay attention to the pronounced cozy textures: corduroy, faux fur, jacquard.

Blanket

Next comes the top layer of the blanket composition. It should be comfortable, tactile and pleasant, made of high-quality breathable material.

Usually it is one, but if two people sleep in bed, it is more convenient for some to have their own separate accessory. In this case, the blankets in the tucked form are either placed on top of each other, or folded in half on the long side and placed side by side, covered with a common blanket on top.

From the point of view of interior decoration, the main role, of course, is played by the duvet cover. Most often it is included in the general set of bed linen, echoing in color and pattern (if there is one) with pillowcases and sheets. But this is not the only option: you can choose textiles from different sets. If you prefer plain linen, choose a duvet cover made of linen, jacquard or silk, these fabrics look spectacular without additional decorations or bright patterns. 

There are two ways to make a blanket:

Cover

Now manufacturers produce beautiful and self-sufficient sets of bed linen, so some even refuse the top cover.

But still, this option is still popular in the end, it is not just beautiful, but also practical, since an additional layer of fabric protects the sleeping place from dust and dirt. This way the laundry stays clean and fresh longer.

For additional effect, you can throw a soft blanket on top. This will add color and comfort.

How to make a beautiful bed in the bedroom or nursery

Consider the options for a beautiful textile design of different sleeping places: from children’s to king-size.

Single

Single models are most often found in children’s rooms. Since the space is narrow, they usually do without an upper blanket, especially if the sleeping place is in the corner. Refilling it every time in this case is inconvenient. Instead, it is better to choose beautiful bed linen, which in itself will look quite grand. If desired, complement it with a pair of small decorative pillows and a blanket that can be spread out at the foot of the bed or simply thrown on the bed.

One and a half bedroom

In general, the same rules apply to one-and-a-half trucks as to single models. There shouldn’t be a lot of pillows, 1-2 are enough for sleeping and a couple of decorative ones (or you can do without them at all). A bedspread is also optional, but a textured plaid of a small size will be very useful. If the bed is in the nursery, give up complex schemes, the child should be able to make and spread the bed himself.

Double bed

Double beds come in different sizes. Standard from 180 to 200 cm long and from 140 to 180 cm wide. King-size from 200 cm long and from 180 cm wide (most often it is 200 by 200 cm). This area is enough for any decorative experiments. If the sleeping place is located in the center, it makes sense to decorate it with a blanket. If in the corner you can refuse it for convenience reasons.

A bed of this size already becomes the focal point of the bedroom by itself, but you can additionally draw attention to it with the help of an abundance of decorative textiles: pillows, bedspreads, blankets. Since this will be a large color spot, choose bed linen so that it echoes in shades with other interior elements: decor, other textiles (for example, curtains on windows), furniture or decoration.

Ideas for different styles

There are many options for how to make a bed with a bedspread and how to arrange pillows. It all depends on the overall style of the room. Here are some ideas for different directions.

Contemporary

Modern design assumes maximum freedom and a minimum of visual canons. The main thing is the convenience and functionality of each element. Textiles in this case unobtrusively complement the space, making it more cozy and relaxing. Contemporary does not require rigor, you can arrange pillows in a chaotic manner, abandon the bedspread, casually throw a blanket.

Minimalism

In minimalism, textiles play a special role, since there is little decor in such interiors. It is undesirable to use bed linen of too bright colors and with a motley pattern, it is better to use plain or with an unobtrusive, barely noticeable ornament. You can do without decorative pillows and bedspreads or choose them in the most neutral design. Monochrome sets are very popular now, when all textiles are designed in shades of the same color: for example, gray, beige or brown.

Scandinavian

Scandinavian style is the best way to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere in the bedroom. Choose bed linen made of natural fabrics in neutral natural shades. The texture of fabrics such as linen, cotton or calico will look good.

Loft

Loft is a bold, spectacular and brutal style. It is characterized by some roughness, sometimes even coldness, primarily due to the appropriate materials that are used in the interior. These are concrete, brick, stone, untreated wood, metal, glass. Textiles for the bed should be the same textured, but the design of the sleeping place will suit any. Slight negligence is allowed and even welcomed, lace and satin ribbons will definitely not work.

Classic

Any classic interiors are built on the principles of symmetry. The composition always has a center, otherwise strict, mostly straight lines are maintained. This is exactly the case when it is better to lay out pillows in even rows from large to smaller, and fill the bedspread at the edges. Ornaments and saturated colors are acceptable, but shades should be deep and noble. Pay attention to pillows, sheets and bedspreads with various decor: embroidery, fringe, pendants. Choose fabrics with a beautiful expensive texture: silk, jacquard, velvet, satin, natural cotton.

Rustic

The rustic style has several subspecies: from the well-known Provence to country, chalet and Russian manor. Their approach to the design of the bed is generally the same. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are welcome, as well as traditional decorations for rustic interiors: lace, hand embroidery, patchwork. Floral and, in principle, any botanical ornament is often used. Country and its varieties are characterized by an abundance of decorative pillows, bedspreads and plaids, the latter are almost always made of wool, it is wonderful if they are hand-knitted.
