If you’re wondering how to make your bed look like the ones in luxury hotels or interior design magazines, you’re in the right place! In this guide, we’ll cover the steps to spread bedding flawlessly, plus tips for choosing the right bedding products from Peaches Homes that enhance your bedroom’s look and feel.
Whether you’re setting up a new bedding arrangement or refreshing your current one, follow these easy steps for the perfect spread.
Step-by-Step Guide to Spreading Bedding
1. Start with a Quality Mattress Protector
A mattress protector is the first layer of bedding and serves to keep your mattress clean and free from dust and allergens. It also provides a soft base for your sheets. Place the mattress protector snugly over your mattress, ensuring it’s smooth and wrinkle-free.
2. Lay Down the Fitted Sheet
Choose a fitted sheet with deep pockets to ensure it fits your mattress securely. Our bedding sets at Peaches Homes include fitted sheets with all-around elastic that hugs mattresses up to 16 inches deep, making it easier to get a perfect fit without slipping.
- Tip: When placing the fitted sheet, start from the top corners of the mattress, then move to the bottom corners, smoothing out any wrinkles for a snug look.
3. Add the Flat Sheet
The flat sheet serves as an additional layer of comfort and protection for your duvet or comforter. Place it over the fitted sheet, ensuring the top edge lines up evenly with the head of the bed.
- Tip: Leave a few extra inches at the top for a stylish fold-over effect. This small detail will make your bed look more polished and luxurious.
4. Spread the Duvet or Comforter Evenly
A plush duvet or comforter is the key to achieving that inviting, cozy look. Spread the duvet evenly across the bed, making sure both sides are balanced. The Eva Silky Duvet Cover Set from Peaches Homes is ideal for this, thanks to its soft microfiber fabric that lays smoothly, adding a touch of elegance.
- Tip: To achieve a hotel-style look, fluff up the duvet before spreading it. Give it a gentle shake, then drape it so it covers the mattress edges neatly.
5. Tuck in the Corners
For a clean and tidy appearance, tuck in the bottom and side edges of your flat sheet and comforter. Use a “hospital corner” technique by folding the corners at a 45-degree angle, then tucking them under the mattress for a tailored finish. This method not only keeps everything in place but also creates a sharp, refined look.
6. Arrange the Pillowcases and Decorative Pillows
Start by placing your standard sleeping pillows with matching pillowcases against the headboard. If you have Peaches Homes pillowcases, choose colors or patterns that complement your duvet or flat sheet for a harmonious look. Next, layer on decorative pillows for added style—opt for various shapes and textures to add dimension and interest.
- Tip: Place two large euro shams at the back, followed by standard pillows, and finish with smaller decorative pillows in front. This layering approach adds depth and gives your bed a luxurious, designer look.
7. Fold a Throw Blanket for Extra Warmth and Style
For a finishing touch, add a throw blanket at the foot of the bed. Fold it neatly or drape it casually, depending on your preferred look. A throw blanket not only adds extra warmth but also introduces texture and color that enhances the overall bedroom decor.
Choosing the Right Bedding for an Elegant Bed Setup
Quality bedding plays a crucial role in achieving a polished look. Here’s what to consider when shopping for bedding at Peaches Homes:
- Material: For a silky smooth and comfortable feel, consider materials like microfiber and cotton. Our Eva Silky Duvet Cover Set offers both comfort and style, making it easy to maintain the perfect bed spread.
- Color Scheme: Stick to a neutral or cohesive color palette for a calm, serene look. Whites, soft grays, and pastels are excellent choices for creating a peaceful environment. For a bolder statement, go for rich tones like navy or emerald green.
- Long-Lasting Quality: High-quality sheets, pillowcases, and duvets will maintain their shape and color, even after multiple washes. Look for durable stitching and color-fast fabrics to ensure your bedding lasts over time.
Maintaining Your Bedding for Lasting Luxury
To keep your bed looking fresh, follow these maintenance tips:
- Wash Regularly: To maintain hygiene and softness, wash your bedding once a week. Microfiber and cotton bedding from Peaches Homes are machine washable, making upkeep simple and convenient.
- Fluff Your Duvet Weekly: Regular fluffing helps keep your duvet evenly distributed and prevents clumping, giving your bed a plush appearance.
- Iron for a Crisp Look: If you want to achieve a truly luxurious look, consider ironing your flat sheets and pillowcases after washing. This extra step will remove any creases, creating a pristine, smooth surface.
