A well-made bed is the centrepiece of any bedroom, and layering is key to achieving that refined look. Beyond aesthetics, a layered bed enhances comfort, allowing for easy adjustments based on the season or personal preferences.
Start with a fitted sheet that hugs your mattress smoothly, followed by a flat sheet that creates the base of your bedding layers. The choice of fabric at this stage can determine how cool or cozy your bed feels throughout the night.
Add a blanket or lightweight quilt as your middle layer. This piece adds insulation and texture, giving you options for warmer or cooler nights. Opt for a neutral tone to keep the design balanced or introduce a soft pattern for interest.
The duvet or comforter is the most visible layer and should tie together your room’s palette. A textured cover or subtle print can elevate your design while still serving a functional purpose in colder months.
Accent cushions and a folded throw at the foot of the bed are finishing touches that introduce style and extra warmth. Stick to a cohesive color scheme and vary the textures to keep things dynamic and inviting.
This approach to layering not only keeps your sleep comfortable but also gives your bedroom the polished look of a boutique hotel. Rotating layers with the seasons ensures you stay comfortable while maintaining visual freshness.
