Insider Insight: How to style a bed like a pro

Expert bed styling tips from interior design pros to help make your bed look its coziest.

Mix textures

Mixing textures when styling a bed is a great way to add depth and interest to your bedroom decor. Think decorative pillows made from different fabrics, a textured throw blanket, and frilly linen bed skirts.

Sarah Kruse is a fan of mixing textures, especially when it comes to pillows. “Mixing textures in pillows can add a lot of dimension and add to that cozy feeling.”

Use a coverlet or throw at the end of the bed

Coverlets are a versatile and practical addition to a bedroom, providing both style and functionality.

Sarah Kruse uses a coverlet to tie every component of the bed together. This includes the throw pillows, the headboard, and even the wall behind. "This brings the styling full circle and ensures everything on the bed connects to one another," says Sarah.

Genevieve Chambliss is also a coverlet supporter. "Add a soft throw blanket to the foot of the bed for those colder nights. The result will be a super cozy and inviting haven for you to rest your head at night."
