How To Make Your Bed Like A Designer

There's nothing like cuddling into a beautifully made bed at the end of a long day. And while a comfy mattress and plush pillows are a good start, it's the finishing touches that elevate your sleeping space.

Kelsey McGregor, owner and lead designer of Kelsey Leigh Design Co., shares—layer by layer—how to style your bed like a pro. Come along as we explore the key elements of bed-making and provide expert tips and tricks for creating a flawless bedscape.

DUVET DETAILS

The No. 1 thing you want to get right when styling your bed is your duvet cover. Duvets are a great way to add an extra layer of comfort, coziness and warmth to your bed, making them the perfect bedding accessory for those chilly nights or lazy mornings.

A properly fitting duvet cover is essential for achieving a polished and stylish look for your bedding. Kelsey stresses that the duvet cover should fit snugly over the duvet insert without any excess fabric or bunching for a smooth and streamlined appearance. She also suggests one with ties in the inside corners so the duvet stays flat. For a full and fluffy appearance, roll the duvet back on itself to create an added layer of height and a luxurious look that's sure to impress.

PILLOW PLACEMENT

No bed is complete without a variety of pillows and shams, and proper pillow placement is key to achieving a comfortable and stylish appearance. Start with your sleeping pillows— these should be placed against the headboard or wall, with the pillowcases facing out. Add your decorative pillows in front, starting with the largest and working your way down to the smallest. Start with a back layer of large square pillows, then add medium-sized pillows, followed by a single small pillow in the front.
