how to style your bed like a pro in under 5 minutes

I don’t know about you but I love the look of a beautifully styled bed.  You know, the ones you see in gorgeous shop fronts with the pillows sitting just so and the throws, well, thrown, into the perfectly imperfect position at the end of the bed?

If I had the time I think I would probably love to spend my days recreating those looks in my own home. 

But let’s face it, not many of us have time to faff around with 47 pillows and a strategically placed throw every morning.

So here are my tips on how to style your bed like a pro in under 5 minutes.

1. Fold back the top of doona cover

This makes your doona look plumper and gives the illusion of that fancy hotel feel.

It also creates a nice flat surface for your pillows to sit on.

2. Layer those pillows

Sit them on a slight lean for a relaxed look.

Create contrast using patterns, textures and colours that compliment each other.

3. Add a throw

Place a throw at the end of the bed and you are done!
