Bedding Round-Up and My Favorite Bedding Pieces- King, Queen, and Full

I often get questions on how I get our bedding to look so fluffy and cozy! Today I am sharing how I make all our beds. Honestly a good quality insert is the key to making your bed look really good. Also, the right size of bedding pieces can make or break your bed. For instance I use an oversized knitted blanket at the end of the beds, if they were a smaller throw blanket it wouldn’t look the same. Keep reading for all my bedding tips and favorites…

Linen Quilt (warm brown)– I have used this quilt in at least 5 makeovers! I love it. Soft and kind of silk-like texture one one side, with linen on opposite
Linen Duvet Cover with this medium weight down insert– this is a REALLY good insert. You get what you pay for with inserts. They cost a lot, but make a bed look so fluffy! Plus a quality insert is cooling in the summer and warming in the winter.
Chunky Knitted Blanket (warm brown)– We have one on Ella’s bed and on Lola’s
Dutch Euros– these inserts can get really flat over time. I stuffed mine with a king pillow!
22″ Boucle Cream Pillow– I think 22″ is a must for an accent pillow on a king bed
Boucle Round Pillow– love this unique pillow shape and the scale is great for a king bed!
Iron and upholstery bed– soft to lean against and love the leather accent
Mattress Tuft & Needle, the Hybrid– the most comfortable mattress ever! I instantly liked this when I slept on it.

My making the bed recipe (links below)

Put a cozy quilt over sheets. You CAN keep flat or fold down the quilt to expose the sheets (if you want to pull in your accent color).
Add your duvet. I have it come to just the edge of the bed. Fold the top of your duvet under 2 times for a full fluffy look.
Stack the sleeping pillows in the back.
Next add Euro’s. (I stuffed an extra king pillows in each to make them extra full). I did 2 Dutch Euro pillows. Another option is to do 3 standard Euro’s.
I added 2 accent pillows in the front to coordinate the colors. I recommend 22-26″ for a king in front. For a queen the same or could go down to 20″ at the smallest.
Then this round pillow for extra fun!
Layer a throw over the duvet or comforter, this pulls in your accent color and makes it extra fluffy (totally extra look!).

Bed Skirt Question-

Q- In all your bedrooms, you don’t use bed skirts and I love the look. My daughter has a iron bed frame that is beautiful and would like to have it exposed as you do. Issue is her bed has a box spring mattress under her pillow top mattress. What can I do to hide the “ugliness”? Your home is gorgeous!!

A- Good question! Mattress height plays a part in that for sure. Maybe she needs a low-profile box spring? Or none at all? I also order a quilt that is the right size- often more expensive quilts are slightly oversized- so check sizes before you order. Or you could put a fitted sheet on the box spring to hide it.
