Update The Look Of Your Bedroom In Four Easy Steps
It's as simple as fixing up your beddings!
Are you tired of simply pulling a boring old bed sheet or a dull blanket all over your entire bed? You can get a completely different and more exciting look by playing with a new comforter and pillows in interesting colors, patterns, or textures. Follow this simple guide to revamp your sleeping space.
1. Using a comforter, duvet, or heavy blanket, cover the whole bed, from the foot of it going up towards the headboard.
2. From around a foot-and-a-half away from the headboard, fold the cover down.
3. Place pillows in an upright position, arranged in this manner: similar colors on the same row, with smaller throw pillows propped against them as accents.
4. If you have three different sizes of pillows, arrange it like this: standard pillows first, then the Euro square, then a neck pillow or a bolster (a cylindrical pillow to support the back).
