Making Your Bed 101

The bedroom is our intimate space that truly reflects our personalities and tastes, and the bed is usually the centerpiece of our bedroom. So how can you decorate your bed in an attractive and inviting way that also reflects your personality?
It is actually quite simple there are only a few basic points to remember, which will make it a lot easier for you.
First, let's go over the way you would typically make your bed in a way that looks like it had been professionally designed.
You want to start with the duvet cover (or quilt cover), choose a design or pattern and the right color scheme that would match your bedroom decor (tip: it is usually easier to choose your duvet cover before anything else in the bedroom, even before the color on the walls). Then you would typically match two pillow shams (decorative pillowcases) that carry the same pattern on them as the duvet cover.
Good, the hard part is over. All that is left to do now is to choose the right sheets: Flat sheet (or top sheet), Fitted sheet (or bottom sheet) and pillowcases. The colors of the sheets should be taken from the pattern on the duvet cover. Choose the elements and colors that you want to emphasize in the pattern and 'bring them out' by choosing these colors for your sheets. Generally you can choose to bring a different color with each item. However, it would be much safer to simply choose one color for the entire sheet set. But we are not here to play it safe are we. So to make it a bit more interesting you can introduce two colors in the following way. Match the pillowcases with the fitted sheet, and add another pair of shams to match the flat sheet (see picture). Then you can add accent cushions or a throw for a final touch up.
Of course there are lots more exciting options, but for now lets stick to the basics first and build on that. We will cover here other ways of styling your bed so keep coming back for more useful advice
