A well planned out and set bed can instantly transform the ambiance of your bedroom moving it from a basic look to a luxurious one.
Unfortunately, the idea of a luxurious bed may instantly paint the picture of high-end linens and extravagant accessories. However, this should not always be the case. Achieving a certain level of bed luxury doesn’t have to be costly.
If you are a woman who enjoys elegance and luxuries but you havenāt achieved the momentary level to acquire the whole luxurious lifestyle, then this is one of the articles just for you.
With the few simple tips and tricks that I will be sharing today, you will be able to elevate your bed to that of a 5 star giving it the luxurious look without overspending on expensive decor.
These are the steps to create a luxury bed on a budget
1. Mattress Topper
A mattress topper adds comfort and plushness even to low qality beds. It is an economical way to improve the comfort and support of your existing bed without the expense of replacing the entire mattress. This is an essential component as it is the foundation of your bed’s luxury.
2. No slip Bed Sheets
Also known as fitted sheets. They offer practical benefits of a secure fit, improved comfort, and ease in using.
My advice is- Go for crisp, high-thread-count sheets made from natural fibers like cotton. Also iron your fitted bed sheets in case they come from the washer wrinkled.
3a. Layering
Any bed can be transformed to look great by adding layers to it. The art of layering brings about visual interest and depth.
This is how you do it.
On top of the no slip sheet, place one or two flat sheets, then a lightweight blanket. On it add a luxurious duvet, which you will fold neatly at the head of the bed.
Tip; Buy a slightly bigger duvet so that it hangs on the sides of the bed.
(Optional) During colder months, enhance the bed’s coziness and luxury by draping a throw, over the end.
3b. Layering Pillows
You can pick the basic way which is – Placing two normal size pillows which color match with the duvet against the headboard.
In Front of them place two slightly smaller pillows, these can match the bedroom curtains or just be neutral colors. For example, tan, white, beige, ivory etc.
Finally, complete the arrangement with a one smaller pillow placed in the middle of the two pillows. You can break the color monotony just as show below.
4. Headboard or Bed Frame
While custom headboards and designer bed frames can be pricey, you can achieve a similar effect on a budget by exploring DIY options or shopping for affordable yet stylish alternatives online or at thrift stores.
Another option to get them cheaper is by watching out for big discount dates for example, black friday where most products are sold at a discount.
5. Minimal Deco
Enhance the luxurious atmosphere of your bedroom by adding a small bedside table which can have either or all – a bedside lamp, some books and decorative plastic flowers. Just as shown below.
Final touches
- Neatly tucking in the sheets.
- Fluff the pillows, and smoothen out wrinkles to create a polished and luxurious appearance.
- Keep your bed clean and clutter- free by investing in storage solutions such as decorative baskets to stow away extra pillows, blankets, and linens when not in use.
Final thoughts
