10 Modern Ways To Make Your Bed
We’ve noticed the evolution of bed making over the years, from frou-frou Victorian tester beds loaded with tiny pillows to super chill, wrinkled linens that embrace a casual vibe. These beds incorporate color and layers in a way that’s achievable. For modern inspiration, scroll through.
Use Coordinating Patterns
The bolster pillow in this Saskatoon penthouse is matched to the iconic Kelly Wearstler Graffito wallpaper, for an enveloping, pulled together effect.
Play Up The Headboard
A deep forest green linen pillow echoes the rich channelled upholstered headboard. A nubbly throw and bouclé pillow add cosy texture.
That’s A Wrap
Tucking a contrasting throw folded tightly under the mattress gives a neat, tailored look to a bed.
Make Euros The Heroes
In this Muskoka cottage, the bedspread is pulled back to show off the curated stack of pillows, including some graphic, Greek key Euro shams for focus. Throws like classic point blankets are instant heirlooms.
Give White Linens A Lift
Classic white linens get a playful twist with graphic toss cushions and two layered linen throws casually drawn across the foot of the bed.
Up The Texture
Luxe materials like velvet pillows and linen throws take a tonal bed up a notch. In this bedroom, natural materials create tactile interest that’s welcoming (the floral pillows match the ensuite wallpaper).
Go Tonal
When it comes to creating a relaxing, modern bed, opt for neutrals. In this cottage bedroom, a medley of soft greys is timeless and soothing.
Stack The Pillows
This Florida guest room is given a hotel vibe by stacking the pillows and the result is sweet but not saccharine. Pastel pink toss pillows and coverlets can easily be switched up seasonally.
Try The ‘Motel Tuck’
The mid-century motel tuck is a simple bedspread with a karate chop under the pillows. In this guest cottage bedroom, the last thing the owners wanted was their invitees to fuss over linens, and nothing is simpler than a draped bedspread for a pure look.
Consider Custom Elements
The bespoke toss pillow covers match the trim on the drapes in this serene bedroom, for a curated look.
