After your bedding basics and sheets are taken care of, it’s time to style the top of the bed. This includes several fun layering pieces. Not sure where to start? We’ll show you how to build your bed from the basics, up.
Layer One (after sheets):
Duvet Cover – Be sure to always fill your duvet cover with a luxurious duvet insert. We love duvet covers because of how easy they are to clean and switch out when your bedroom needs a refresh.
Comforter – Like duvets covers, these will be the focal point of your bed. Comforters have super soft fillings and typically come with shams to make styling your entire bed easy!
Layer Two (layered with duvet cover or comforter):
Quilt/Coverlet – Extra versatile, because they can be styled underneath, or on top of your duvet or comforter. Usually lightweight, these are perfect for layering, adding a pop of color or interesting texture year-round.
Bedspread –Very similar to quilts/coverlets, bedspreads are usually larger to cover your entire bed (including the box springs and mattress).
Layer Three (on top of quilt, coverlet, duvet cover or comforter):
Shams – Decorative shams that are styled in front of your pillowcases. Usually coordinate with your duvet cover or comforter to tie your bed together. Euro sizes that are especially great for larger beds.
