A Step-by-step guide on how to style a bedroom
Styling for Ultimate Comfort
STEP ONE
Make sure you have a sturdy rug pad and place it down exactly where you want to place your rug. Moving a heavy bed or furniture after the fact is no fun! Take our word for it.
STEP TWO
Place your Rug down over the rug pad. Make it so the rug and rug pad line up almost exactly. Remember, once you place the bed on top, it’s going to be difficult to adjust so try your best to nail the location of your rug first!
Quick Tip: We like to cut the rug pad back roughly an inch all the way around, so the edges of the rug will lay a little flatter around all four sides.
STEP THREE
The bed is finally ready to be placed on top of the rug.
STEP FOUR
Get your sheets on the bed and it’s time to get styling. Make sure to wash your bedding prior to styling. If you’re using linen, you may need to get a steamer involved!
STEP FIVE
First up is the duvet. Once that’s on the bed, grab your throw or blanket to play around with layering.
STEP SIX
Start with stacking your sleeping pillows on top of each other against the headboard, then place larger decorative pillows in front of those. Then you can play with adding more by working your way forward with smaller pillows. For mixing both color and pattern, our rule of thumb: Start with your fave pillow and use that as the anchor piece. Choose pillows with similar color tones and keep that in mind when pulling additional pillows. We believe that you can add multiple patterns and colors, so long as they all are in the same general color tone.
STEP SEVEN
Everyone’s side table or night table collection is going to be a little different, but for us, lamps, a little greenery in a vase and a candle are must-haves. Our number one advice here is to keep it simple. Clutter is stressful and that’s not what you need to look at when you wake up and go to bed.
STEP EIGHT
Art in the bedroom is always a welcome addition for us. We tend to keep it subtle and calm. In terms of art placement, pieces can go above the bed or side tables, but it really depends on the layout of your room and available wall space.
