How To Dress A Bed
What's the best way to dress a bed? It would certainly make our lives easier (and our bed-making attempts more successful) if we knew the most popular bed dressing hacks, including how to style throws, cushions, bedspreads and other soft furnishings for the ultimate bedscape.
'The bed is the focal point of any bedroom and creates a cosy atmosphere that makes leaving bed irresistible. This is made all the more challenging when your bed is adorned with luxurious bed linen, comfy pillows and stylish throws and cushions,' says Joanna Ross, General Manager of Design at Sheridan.
It's a good thing then that we've spoken to the UK's leading bedding experts to reveal how to dress your bed like a professional, plus we share some really useful styling hacks that will give your bed that Instagrammable, 'straight from a magazine' look.
Take note on how to take your bed from boring to beautiful:
1. Quality bedding
You do get what you pay for when it comes to bedding, so go for the best bed linen you can afford. The same applies for good quality filled inner bedding. 'Not only is it important for your bed to look good, but the quality of the bedding is also crucial to having a good night's sleep and impacts your mood for the rest of the day,' Lucy Ackroyd, Head of Design at Christy, tells us.
To get the crisp, clean, hotel bed look, you should invest in pure cotton high thread-count bed linen – the benefits are tenfold.
'Firstly, 100 per cent cotton products are naturally breathable so they help to regulate your temperature and moisture levels, stopping the clammy feeling you can experience with synthetic fibres,' Lucy explains. 'Secondly, high thread count fabrics are smoother against the skin, so as well as being much more comfortable, you are less likely to feel tangled up or trapped by rougher fabrics that cling, especially to nightwear.'
2. Reversible duvet covers
If you're a fan of prints or you just like switching up looks on the regular, then it makes sense to invest in a reversible duvet cover. It not only provides two design options but adds a pretty additional feature to a bed when the top of the duvet cover is turned down.
But it's not all about bold patterns and colour blocking shapes.
Those hoping to achieve a luxury hotel aesthetic with a white on white look can still benefit from a reversible duvet cover – simply keep it pared back, sticking to stripes or polka dots with a plain neutral on the reverse.
3. Pillow talk
'On a double bed, go for two pillows on each side, and make sure to fluff them up before sitting them on top of the duvet, with the open side facing the outer edge of the bed,' Lucy advises. 'If you want to upgrade your pillows even further, invest in a couple of pillow shams to match your bedding. Place the pillow shams on top of your usual pillows to hide them behind a more elegantly coordinated facade for a five star hotel look.'
A common question asked with regards to styling a bed is whether pillows should be above the duvet or tucked underneath.
'When we style for photo shoots and in our customers' homes, we recommend one pillow beneath the duvet, and one on top.
The top pillow provides the finished look and feel, leaving the lower pillow ready for sleeping on when the duvet is pulled back,' Georgia Metcalfe, founder of French Bedroom, explains.
And remember to coordinate the pillows with the duvet. Nic Shacklock at Online-Bedrooms.co.uk elaborates: 'The bottom two pillows should match your fitted bottom sheet in material and colour to achieve a super cohesive bed spread. The top pillows should match your duvet.'
Georgia recommends two pillows for double and king beds, and two super king pillows (50x90cm) for super king size beds. For Emperor beds, three standard size (50x75cm) pillows are recommended.
4. Bedspreads
Introduce colour and texture to your bedroom with a bedspread, or two. Georgia tells us how:
'Bedspreads look great when paired together; one plain, one patterned. Pick a key colour from your patterned bedspread, bedroom curtains, artwork or wallcoverings.
Use this colour in the lower bedspread, either covering your whole bed or just the lower half. Then lay the patterned bedspread on top, half width, so it creates a slim panel of pattern on top of the plain. This will create a considered and coordinated aesthetic, straight from an interior designer's playbook!'
5. Throws
Throws are still a great styling device for beds, but ensure it's not too neatly folded along the bottom of the bed. Throws should look more informal, casually draped over the corner.
'When it comes to adding throws and blankets onto the bed, it’s all about creating soft, textural layering. Loosely draped across the bottom third of the mattress is where I find strikes a balance between structured styling and laid-back décor,' says Shelley Cochrane, Retail Merchandiser at Furniture Village. 'I love to opt for crepe materials as they bring a beautifully soft, yet tactile element.
'
And don't just stick to one colour – similar to a bedspread, combining two throws in a mixture of colours and textures can work wonderfully too.
6. Cushion love
Layering cushions is essential for a super stylish, well-presented bed. But how many, exactly?
'Go for somewhere between three and six cushions depending on the width of the bed and preference,' reveals Lucy, who says you should always group them together by size, with the largest at the back and smallest at the front.
Cushions are 'great at eliminating gaps between pillows and a lovely way of bringing the full bedroom design together,' says Georgia. Choose a colour, motif, or style from your bedroom design and recreate this in the cushion design.
'Think softly curved cushions with pom-pom detailing for ethereal-inspired bedrooms, Mongolian sheepskin cushions for rustic, cottagecore spaces, and slightly rough-hewn cushions for the more desert-inspired dwellings,' Shelley adds.
Top tip: If you like to refresh your bedroom look seasonally and you're limited on storage space, a cost-effective option is to invest in cushion covers – try H&M and IKEA for a great range of designs and colourways.
The golden ratio
James Rotheram, M&S Insider and Visual Merchandiser at M&S homeware, reveals the exact number of scatter cushions needed to avoid your bed looking overly busy and a little overwhelming.
• Single bed: One large cushion and one bolster cushion
How to arrange: 'I recommend using a large upright cushion sitting against the flat base pillows and then adding another smaller cushion on top,' says James.
• Double bed: Two large cushions, two small bolster cushions and one small square cushion
How to arrange: 'On a standard double bed, as well as your pillows, aim for two large cushions and layer up with two smaller rectangle cushions,' James advises.
'You can then marry the sides of the bed up with a small square cushion at the front of the arrangement.'
• King-size bed: Three large cushions, two square sham cushions, two large rectangle cushions and one bolster cushion
How to arrange: 'For a king-size bed, add a third large cushion at the rear and use two square sham cushions in second place, which sit behind larger rectangular cushions and complete the look with a textured bolster cushion in the centre,' James suggests.
7. Layering
Texture and layering is key for successful bed styling. The aim should be to achieve 'casual elegance' – layer up bedding and accessories for an effortless look that doesn't try too hard. If you’re after a more relaxed look, linen is a great option as it doesn't need to be ironed.
8. Attention to detail
Dressing beds is all about attention to detail.
Small details like a button, exposed zip, piped edge or metallic foiling can add that extra layer of sophistication to bed styling. And what lies beneath is important. For the more meticulous among us, a flat sheet with old school hospital corners is a nice detail (especially in a guest room at Christmas time).
9. Turn down the bed
Prepare your bed for that cosy, 'can’t wait to dive in' feeling by simply fluffing up pillows and duvets to even out the filling and return their plump.
Jessica Hanley, founder of luxury comfort brand, Piglet in Bed, comments: 'Turning down the bed might sound tedious, but really, all you have to do is fluff your pillows and fold down your duvet so your bed is ready to jump into. This will help get your mind ready for sleep, especially if you make it a regular part of your routine. Making sure your room is tidy and keeping your sheets fresh can also help considerably.'
10.
Finishing touches
Invest in a sleep spray to help you enjoy a peaceful slumber. 'Spritz liberally around the room and onto your bed linen before you jump in – linen sprays are also a great way to freshen up your sheets on days they haven't been washed,' Jessica adds.
Hosting guests? To add the ultimate finishing touch to your bedscape, invest in a durable bed tray for your guests and laden it with some tasty treats.

6 win-win bed decor options with pillows
Have you ever wondered how to arrange pillows on the bed beautifully? If you answered negatively, most likely you are one of those who simply make up the bed in the morning, which means that this material is definitely for you
Finally, American fashion has reached our latitudes, and it is quite possible that in the bedrooms of your relatives or friends you have already met in a special way laid out pillows. This is by no means a whim: the decor of the bed reflects the personality and taste of the owners in the same way as the paintings in the living room or the table in the kitchen. Just imagine how the bed will change if you decorate it with bright decorative pillows with a variety of patterns. Want to try? Then use one of these methods.
In the West, this option causes a lot of controversy: for some it seems too stiff and strict, for others it is deliberate, like in a furniture store. We believe that rigor in moderate doses is quite appropriate, especially in classic interiors.
And to reduce the degree of formality, decorative pillows or bedding in bright colors and with a contrasting pattern will help.
Three pillows in a row is a great solution for any bedroom style. They look restrained and original, but not boring at all (considering that we are used to seeing two pillows in a row). To make this composition look good, try to choose textiles from the same series, it is even better if it is combined with other interior elements: for example, with a carpet, curtains or decor.
This way of laying out pillows is closer in spirit to the European pragmatic approach: no lush decorative pillows of bizarre shapes and colors, but still beautiful. For those who are not ready to spend time every day arranging pillows corner to corner, we recommend folding them horizontally. Well, decorative elements, of course, are not forbidden.
Would you like your bedroom to look like the picture? A great solution is to buy a complete set of pillows. As a rule, it includes several pairs of decorative pillows of different sizes (ordinary pillows can also be included here) and a long soft roller.
Such a composition looks very beautiful and resembles either palaces from Arab fairy tales, or the chambers of princesses.
Our opinion:
— If you like everything unusual and individual, assemble this set of pillows yourself. You can combine it with bed linen, other sleeping textiles and even wallpaper.
Just imagine an endless ocean of pillows laid out in orderly rows. You don't have to choose anymore: take the ones with a bright floral print or these monogrammed ones in pure white. Let there be not just a lot of pillows, but a lot. Yes, it may take 30 seconds longer to make and unroll the bed than usual, but it's worth it.
Who said that pillows should lie perfectly flat and only symmetrically on the bed? If you can't stand stiffness, love experimenting, and find parallel layout too boring, then just add some chaos to the bed. Bright colors, mismatched ornaments, and just randomly thrown pillows can also be beautiful and cozy.
Our opinion:
— To make the decor of the bed with pillows not just copied from magazine photos, but reflect your taste, choose those that you personally like or, perhaps, mean something to you.
Vintage can be combined with modern ornaments, stripes with polka dots, and red with orange. And about how to correctly combine patterns on decorative pillows, we talk in this material.

Decorative pillows on the bed: 12 original ideas
One of the most popular and unpretentious ways to decorate a bed is to arrange pillows on edge, from largest to smallest. This version of the decorative scenario is most appropriate for classic bedrooms - it will emphasize the shapes in the interior. If you want to reduce the degree of formality, choose unusually shaped pillows for the foreground.
2. Prints in plain sight
If your set of decorative pillows has bright options with interesting applications and unusual prints, don't hide them behind boring pieces.
Put original products in front of the entire pillow composition - with it, a relaxed atmosphere will reign in your bedroom, in which the whole interior will play in a new way.
3. Playing with color
Simple and solid color linens and bedspreads pair well with patterned and bright throw pillows to create a work of art on the bed that will become the main decoration of the bedroom. Is your break room decorated in neutral colors and looking boring? Liven it up with colorful pillows. Stylish, unbanal and very attractive.
4. Unite the interior

Just a few decorative pillows that duplicate the prints of the main accent of the bedroom can be a spectacular finishing touch to the interior decor. Choose models that will repeat the pattern of wallpaper, curtains or headboards - the situation will become whole.
Easy, simple, fast and no need to break your head over additional decor!
5. Demonstrating shapes
There are already enough bright splashes in the bedroom, but the interior lacks texture? Pick up a set of pillows of unusual shapes for the decor of the bed. Combine square, round and rectangular models, long cushions and products in the form of a crescent or heart - they will make the bedroom unusual and individual.
6. Decorative chaos
There is no wrong way to place pillows on a bed. Even in a randomly scattered form, they work great for the interior of the bedroom. Are you in a playful mood today? Think over the composition of your essay and enjoy the result! Whether it's a hill of pillows or an installation with a domino effect, any experiment is guaranteed to be successful.
7. Decorating the headboard
Does your bed not have the best headboard that doesn't quite fit into the interior? Disguise it with decorative pillows. To successfully bring this idea to life, select models that match in color and texture with the overall interior of the room.
Not bad if there are several alternating identical pillow duets in the layout.
8. Around the perimeter
Who said that pillows on a bed can only lie flat and symmetrical? They can be expanded on a large scale, for example, around the perimeter of a bed. Place some of the pillows on edge at the head of the bed, throw a couple of small ones in the center of the bed, and decorate the foot of the rest with the rest. A relaxed atmosphere will appear in the bedroom, in which it will be pleasant to take a nap during the day or read a book in the evening without spreading the bed.
9. Stylish trio
A three-pillow arrangement will be a good decoration for a single bed or a single bed. They will not look too bulky on a small bed and emphasize its individuality. You can use three pillows of the same color that are completely different in texture, or choose a set of two of the same and one colorful. Put them in a neat row at the head of the bed - such a trio does not look boring.

10. The perfect pair
Fans of minimalism in the bedroom will find a perfect pairing of pillows — no bizarre shapes and colors, everything is strict, simple and concise. For a discreet decor of the bed, two identical pillow sets will be enough: one of them can be placed horizontally, and the second one can be placed vertically. With such a symmetrical layout, the bedroom will seem fresh and clean, and an interesting layering will appear in the room.
11. Chess order
Another bed decor technique that will create an airy effect in the bedroom: arranging pillows in a checkerboard pattern. To do this, six pillows in the same color scheme are enough, arranged as follows: at the head - three of the lightest, in the middle - two darker, in the center in the foreground - one pillow of the most saturated shade. Such a composition will radically change the look of your bedroom and envelop it with a magical atmosphere.
