A beautifully layered bed isn't just about aesthetics — it's about creating a sleep sanctuary that feels as good as it looks. Here's how the pros do it. ## Start with a Quality Fitted Sheet Your base layer sets the tone. Choose a breathable fitted sheet in a neutral or complementary tone to your bedroom palette. ## Add a Flat Sheet A flat sheet adds a clean, hotel-like finish. Fold it back over your duvet for a polished look. ## Choose the Right Duvet Your duvet or comforter should be the focal point. Pick a weight appropriate for your season — lighter for summer, heavier for winter. ## Layer with Throws and Cushions - Fold a throw blanket across the foot of the bed for texture and warmth. - Use an odd number of cushions — 3 or 5 — for a balanced, designer look. - Mix textures: velvet, linen, and cotton complement each other beautifully. ## Colour Coordination Tips - Stick to 2–3 colours maximum. - Use your duvet as the anchor piece and build accent colours around it. - White or cream as a base always looks timeless. With the right layers, your bed becomes the centrepiece of your bedroom.
