Most mattress protectors go on just like fitted sheets. Make sure to tuck any extra fabric underneath the mattress itself for a seamless look.
White fitted sheets are always a good option. They provide a neutral background for any color or patterns you want to use in the rest of your bed. However, feel free to play around with colored or patterned sheets if you’d like to!
A white top sheet is usually a good choice, but you could also go with cream or tan for a fun neutral look.
Or, add fun texture with a coverlet instead of a quilt. [5] X Research source For a neutral look, go for a cream, tan, or gray quilt instead of a patterned one.
Try introducing a new texture with your duvet cover, like velvet or jacquard cotton. Pick a solid color that ties into your quilt or coverlet to bring the whole bed together. Go for a monochromatic look by choosing a color that matches your quilt or coverlet. Want to add more fluff to your duvet? Add an insert to the duvet cover to make your comforter extra large.
If you have a neutral-colored duvet cover, use a throw to add in a bright pop of color. If your duvet cover is already a bright color, stick with a neutral throw.
Euro shams are a cheap, easy way to make your bedding look more glamorous. Set the Euro shams right up against your headboard to hold all of your other pillows upright. Not a fan of the square look? Go for regular pillow shams instead.
Set your sleeping pillows up against your Euro shams. When it comes time to go to bed, you can use the Euro shams to prop your head up, or you can toss them to the side.
Lean your decorative pillows up against your sleeping pillows on the bed. Since these are too small to sleep on, you can throw them to the side when it’s time to snooze.
Now is a great time for an interesting texture, too. Try a velvet pillow or a shag pillow to make your bed look super interesting.
Is your bedroom carpeted? No problem! You can still put an area rug on top of carpet.
