You might be thinking that turning your home bedroom into a luxurious place of calmness and elegance has to be complicated. But just know that it could take just one quality luxury bedding set for your bed (king or queen) to make this transformation. When you add the right layers, pillows, and a couple of decorative details to your room, the right bedding set can create a restful space where you would love to go to sleep at night. Most of us are content throwing our comforters on top of our beds, thinking it’s good. There is a design way to do this. It’s all about layering, placing your pillows correctly, and incorporating texture as well as some additional details into your design. In this article, we’ll show you step-by-step how to use a luxury bedding set to decorate your bed so that it looks professional without having to put in too much work.

Start with a Clean, Smooth Foundation

Before you even start to layer your bedding with a beautiful comforter, be sure that you have a smooth foundation. This is ultimately the first step. You begin by placing a fitted sheet around the mattress. If the mattress is significantly taller than standard size, use an extremely thin mattress pad for added cushion, but to prevent additional bulk. Next, place the flat sheet with the decorative side downwards to ensure the decorative edge can be seen when folded back. Fold the bottom portion of the flat sheet back onto itself approximately 12-15 inches to provide that crisply folded cuff often seen in high-end hotels. Your foundation provides a canvas for each subsequent layer. Proper placement of a smooth base allows the comforter to lie flat throughout the night and adds to the beautiful and luxurious appearance of your bedding. Establishing a smooth base now allows for each additional layer to lie correctly and drape appropriately.

Center and Drape the Comforter for Perfect Coverage

Pull the luxury comforter across the bed so the extra fabric hangs an equal amount on either side of the bed as well as along the foot. Most people prefer their luxury comforters to have a total overhang of about 12-18 inches for the full plush look you are looking for. As you pull the luxury comforter down toward the bottom of the bed, simply fold it under the bed with the foot edge tucked loosely into the mattress. This will keep the luxury comforter firmly in place while still keeping the top of the bed loose enough to create a soft feeling. Take the folded upper edge of the comforter and fold it back approximately 12-14 inches. This will expose the coordinating sheet below. And if your bedding has two different sides, choose the one that best works well for your present mood or the season you are in. Quality luxury bedding sets come in larger sizes. This allows them to drape elegantly without the sides of the comforter pulling too tightly together or leaving large gaps.

Add a Throw Blanket and Bedskirt for Texture and Finish

Complete your design style by placing a throw blanket at the foot of the bed. You can then fold the remainder of the throw in a loose fashion for an informal but thoughtful look. A throw with a good amount of texture is a great choice (chunky knitted throws, waffle weave). This will actually provide a beautiful contrast to the smooth finish of your comforter. The last layer provides additional warmth and softness, and also provides an additional layer to grab when it gets cool. If your luxury bedding package included a bed skirt, be certain it falls to the correct length and is properly fitted with tailored splits in the sides so that it can fit around any type of footboard. The bed skirt hides the box springs and provides a clean, finished bottom that highlights the other layers above. With both a throw and a bed skirt, your bed will have all of the components necessary to create a designer feel through the addition of some texture and covering of any unappealing parts.

Choose Coordinating Pieces That Work Seamlessly

High-quality bedding items often have coordinating colors and textures for each item included in the overall bedding set when you buy them. This gives you the ability to avoid trying to mix and match individual components (shams, etc.) to achieve the same overall appearance. The result you will get at the end will appear as if you thoughtfully selected each component rather than randomly assembled them. Not only that! With reversible comforters and duvets, you will be able to use these as cover-ups for your bedding set, so you can make a seasonal change without having to purchase an entirely new bedding set. This helps save unnecessary spending. The easier it is to coordinate every single item of bedding, the better the overall appearance of your bed will be. It is much easier to keep your bedding maintained by coordinating your bedding when you have to only pull up the bedding to correct the arrangement.
