The Perfect Bed.

Bedroom, Design Plan

Pretty much all of the US is having cold fronts at this point. Of course, chilly early mornings make everyone want to stay in bed just a liiiiiiiittle bit longer. So now is the perfect time to update your bedding, add a luxe blanket and make your bedroom a serene & calm oasis. Here are my ingredients to the perfect bed:

Bed

1. You’ve probably seen me mention this bed before, but the Crate & Barrel Colette bed is such a gorgeous bed. Its a reasonable price and has a very high end, classic look.

2. All white bedding is always– and I mean always– a good idea. If you think it will be too blah, try a piping or border in a different color. This white bedding with gray stitch breaks up the all white, while keeping a clean look. If you want a bit more color, here’s another great option.

3. Keeping on the topic of all white, try mixing & matching textures of your shams & throw pillows. This keeps the look streamlined, while minimizing the boring!

4. I recommend a coverlet to put between your top sheet & duvet- in the warmer months, the coverlet is enough and then in the colder months, the coverlet + duvet is sure to keep you warm and cozy. I have this exact one and it’s the perfect amount of thickness.

 4. Lastly, for those cold winter months, don’t forget to add a heavy throw. This faux fur throw feels so luxurious and will be sure to keep you cozy all throughout the night.

So there you have it- my recipe for the perfect, beautiful, all-white bed. Get to shopping!

    […] 1. Bedroom Basics- I always put a little tray on the bed with some items to help make my guests feel at home: bottled water, a local snack (ex: a mini chocolate bar from a local bakery would be delightful!), fresh towels & a variety of bedding: I always be sure to have a blanket & down comforter so my guest has options. You never know how hot or cold people get when they sleep. For bedding tips, see this post. […]
