1. Start with a Clean Foundation:
Begin by ensuring your mattress is clean and in good condition. Use a mattress protector if needed, and tuck in any visible bedding such as a bed skirt neatly.
2. Use Quality Sheets:
Choose high-quality, crisp white sheets for a clean and luxurious base. Make sure the sheets are neatly tucked in all around the mattress, creating sharp corners.
3. Incorporate Euro Pillows:
Euro pillows are larger square pillows that add height and a plush look to the bed. Place them in front of the standard pillows against the headboard or wall. Use shams or pillowcases that match or coordinate with the bedding.
4. Arrange Standard Pillows:
Place standard pillows in crisp pillowcases behind the Euro pillows. Use two or four pillows, depending on the size of the bed, and fluff them up for a full and inviting look.
5. Add a Fluffy Comforter or Duvet:
Layer a fluffy comforter or duvet over the sheets and pillows. Opt for a neutral color or a subtle pattern that complements the room's decor. Smooth out any wrinkles and ensure the comforter reaches evenly on both sides of the bed.
6. Layer with a Neat Quilt or Coverlet:
For an added touch of luxury and texture, layer a neat quilt or coverlet at the foot of the bed. Ensure it's evenly spread and straightened to create a polished appearance.
7. Fold or Drape a Throw Blanket:
If the weather calls for it, fold a throw blanket neatly across the bottom third of the bed for an extra cozy and inviting feel. Choose a throw that complements the color scheme and style of the bedding.
8. Final Touches:
Smooth out any wrinkles or creases in the bedding, fluff the pillows one last time, and adjust everything to ensure symmetry and neatness. Take a step back and make any final adjustments to achieve a balanced and inviting look.
Tips for Maintaining the Look:
Daily Maintenance: Encourage regular fluffing of pillows and smoothing of bedding to maintain the neat appearance.
Color Coordination: Stick to a neutral color palette with pops of color or subtle patterns to appeal to a wider audience.
Quality Bedding: Invest in good-quality bedding that looks and feels luxurious to enhance the overall impression.
By following these steps, you can transform any bedroom into a luxurious retreat that will impress potential buyers or guests during home staging. A well-made bed not only enhances the aesthetics of the room but also creates a sense of comfort and relaxation, making it easier for others to envision themselves living in the space.
