Here are 3 of the most important steps:-
1. START FROM THE BOTTOM – WITH A TOP SHEET THAT IS
Once you’ve put your fitted sheet on the mattress, next is a flat sheet. It’s a contentious addition with some sleepers preferring to go sans top sheet, but if it’s a beautifully made bed you’re after, these sleepers will need to succumb. However a common mistake is to lay the flat sheet straight on top of your fitted sheet, the right face up… which is actually the wrong side up.
If you use a flat sheet up a little higher up the bed and the wrong side up, you’ll have plenty of room at the top to fold it over the quilt cover.

Even if you have a bedhead, adding height with pillows is always a good idea as these will frame the rest of your styling. Opt for two European square pillows. with a featured pattern or texture cover that matches your quilt cover. Stylist’s tip? Use the “hand chop” to create an indent in the top for added style.
2. LAYERS UPON LAYERS – OF PILLOWS
Next, add standard pillowcases which will sit in front of the pillows. It gives a little more of a styled, opulent look rather than just plain pillowcases.
We personally suggest matching the standard pillowcases to the flat and fitted sheets. If you have a queen- or king-sized bed, you can add another set of traditional pillows for even more luxury, and also we advise using pillowcases that have the same pattern or color as the quilt cover for these.
3. WARM UP WITH A QUILT & A BLANKET
Is there Cold where you live? Add a blanket on top of your flat sheet then place your quilt on top. Next, fold the quilt and the blanket halfway down the bed for a stylized look.
You can also fold your quilt cover in thirds at the foot of the bed – if you prefer a classier look, “Then, in between the top of the bed and where the quilt cover is placed, you can introduce a new texture or color, such as a throw. It’s a really nice way to get that three complementary layers that make a bed look stunning and luxurious.
