\"How<\/p>\n

Style your bed just as you would style an entire room. That’s the key to creating a comfortable, attractive and cozy place for good sleep and relaxation.<\/p>\n

Fashion blogger Lauren Lefevre, of\u00a0Edit by Lauren<\/a>, shares her tips and tricks for achieving a perfectly styled bed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How to Style Your Bed<\/h2>\n

The bed is the focal point of every bedroom, and sets the tone and feel of the entire room. An intentionally styled bed is well worth the effort! With just a few well-selected accents, a \u201cho-hum,\u201d ordinary bed can be transformed into a stylish statement that impacts the entire room.<\/p>\n

Here are my tips for styling your bed for maximum effect.<\/p>\n

Start with a bed you love<\/h3>\n

Since a bed is the most dominate piece of furniture in a bedroom, it\u2019s important to pick one that defines your personal style.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I personally am drawn to beds with a tall headboard and footboard like this one, the Gordon Sleigh Bed<\/a>. A tall headboard makes a statement, and a footboard keeps the end of the bed looking neat and tidy, without needing a bed skirt!<\/p>\n

\"Lauren<\/p>\n

A neutral colored bed allows you add punches of color through pillows and accessories, and mixes with any kind of furniture scheme.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\n

Select a neutral quilt or duvet<\/h3>\n

I am always drawn to white linens because the look is clean and crisp. They can mix and match with any other colors and never go out of style.\u00a0This white Monaco duvet<\/a>\u00a0is super soft and gives a perfect blank canvas to dress your bed!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

A styling tip for making a duvet look extra full and plush: \u00a0Fill the cover with two duvet inserts!<\/p>\n

\n

Layer the Bed<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

When you style your bed, think about layers.<\/p>\n

Start with shams for the first layer. I prefer using shams that match the duvet, like these Monoco shams<\/a>, to keep consistency for the back row of pillows. Down or synthetic-down pillow inserts look the best in large shams.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Then, layer with decorative pillows that will help anchor the d\u00e9cor for the entire room. I love the look of mixing textures, patterns, colors and metallics.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I especially love the look of these Safavieh Elle and Cole metallic pillows<\/a> mixed with beaded textures and pops of color. These Safavieh Ricci Embellished Hand-Beaded Pillows are a fabulous way to add texture and shine to a bed.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Pillows are also great way to tie in the bed to the rest of the room by adding coordinating pillows to a chair and\/or bench.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

For a quick seasonal change, try changing out one center pillow (i.e., a seashell for summer, plaid for winter, etc.). <\/em>Since decorative pillows can easily and affordably be swapped out over time, this is a place to experiment and have fun!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

And finally, layer with a cozy throw<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t underestimate the power of a throw layered at the bottom of the bed. I love throws with tassels and pom-poms, like this throw by Artistic Weavers, since they add extra texture and visual interest to the entire bed.<\/p>\n

\"Lauren<\/p>\n

A pretty little blanket helps finish the look of the bed. It also provides an easy layering piece to cuddle up under while reading or resting.<\/p>\n
