Have
you ever found yourself paging through a magazine and wishing that your bedroom
could look as great as it does on the page? The way you make your bed says a
lot about you. If you just grab the pillows and randomly toss them on the bed,
then your bed will likely look sloppy or messy. If you take the time to
carefully arrange each and every piece, then the bed looks more pulled together
and comfortable. When your bed looks great, you naturally want to climb inside
and relax before falling asleep at night.
The
traditional method of making the bed is now eclipsed by more creative ways to
make the bed. The classic method involves placing a fitted sheet against the
mattress and topping that with a flat sheet. You top that with a comforter and
pillows. Changing out the pillows is a simple way to completely change the look
of the bed. Pull the top of the comforter and the sheet back several inches.
Line the headboard or back of the bed with a series of pillows that match the
colors or design of your sheets and comforter.
Another
creative way of making the bed involves mixing and matching different colors
and patterns. A great way to accomplish this is by mixing plaids and florals or
plaids and polka dots. Use floral or polka dotted sheets and mix those with a
comforter in plaid that uses some of the same colors. The trick to making the
look work in your own home is by sticking to the same colors. If your sheets
have a cream colored background, then choose a comforter with a light cream in
the plaid pattern. Add pillows of different types to the back of the bed,
bringing in a few new colors and patterns.
If
you want to bring a new color into the bed, then choose a blanket and drape
that across the middle of the bed or the bottom of the bed. This lets you bring
in a bright splash of color that works with your existing bedding without
taking over the room. You can even use a reversible comforter as your accent
piece. A reversible comforter features two different designs: one on each side.
When you want to completely change the look of your bedroom, you simply turn
the comforter over and your bed suddenly looks brand new.
