Oh! Does this bed make me want to hop under the covers and lay in the lap of luxury. The whole room screams serenity, romance and "Do I really have to get up to go to work".
If you notice the star of the show is the bed and the bedding! White on white and the texture on the comforter is the kicker. How you dress your bed creates ambiance and can change your mood just by walking into it.
Dressing the perfect bed is easy and can fit everyone's price range. Color choice is personal but I love white on white bedding. Love the serene, romantic and timeless look. You can add additional pieces to a white linen collection over time. Not necessary to have each piece matchy matchy. White is the easy color to remove stains so don't shy away!
Making a Bed
If you have an older mattress add a feather top mattress...you will not be sorry.
Sheets -I like cotton sheets and purchase the highest thread count I can afford but the feel is also important. So yes, I am the person who opens the pack of sheets for a feel test. If you try this be discreet. My favorite are Royal Velvet Antique Sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond.
- Place a fitted sheet on the box spring and mattress
- Lay the top sheet with the decorative side facing down.
- Add a blanket perfect for the season and then fold the decorative part of the sheet over the top.
- Add the comforter you love and a throw blanket on the foot of the bed.
Pillows! How many are too many? I am sure you have had a few complaints about the number of pillows on the bed. Experts recommend a Euro Sham, Standard Sham, Bed Pillow and a accent pillow not only for look but each has a purpose. Euro Sham is perfect for people who like to prop a pillow and read in bed.
Now to finish off the spa treatment there is a few tricks. Wrinkles on pillow cases can be smoothed out with a spray bottle of water. Simply spritz and smooth. Add a few sprigs of lavender to the bottle and spritz the sheets...the scent will lull you to sleep.
And now a peek at a few inspiration rooms...
Adore the blue throw blanket...
Chandelier and gray walls....
I see a young girl feeling special while she dreams...
Love the doors and tile but would change the comforter...
Rustic and beachy at the same time...
When I grow up...
Thinking of painting the floors in my guest bedroom white....
Buying linens is not an everyday purchase and usually we only buy them when we redecorate our bedrooms. But for my money...just updating and making your bed special with the right linens and pillows will change your room...
Sleep Tight...

ReplyDeleteThanks Jess! I enjoyed this post too
ReplyDeleteI love the grey bedroom with the white bedding and the chandelier!! It's romantic, simple and sophisticated. The bed with the mirror behind it... I had thought of doing the same to my bed... and then though that maybe, maybe it was a bit weird to have mirrors by the bed!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely beds! All above white beds are really gorgeous and moreover, white is my favorite. That's why I wanted to get my dream bed but little bit confused. But after having these design, I think, I can get my dream bed from here and hope, it can be great piece to match with above.

The white bed with all the fabric and lights looks like a dust trap and nightmare.
