Luxury is defined as a state of great comfort and elegance - the precise ambience you deserve to experience in your master suite. In crafting this sanctuary, your luxury bed stands as the undisputed centrepiece. Envision sumptuously soft bedding swathed in the finest linens, layers of lavish textiles inviting you into their comforting embrace. Imagine snuggling down at the end of a long day and drifting into blissful sleep, enveloped in exquisitely curated comfort. This is the essence of perfect bed dressing.
How do you dress a bed to look luxurious?
With a little creativity and exacting attention to detail, you can transform an ordinary resting place into a magnificent masterpiece - a true haven of relaxation and indulgence. Allow our expert guidance to inspire you in the opulent art of how to dress a bed like a designer.
Select your perfect bedding
Laying the foundation of your luxurious bed decorating begins with investing in the finest quality bedding. Start with the ground layer: our generously deep Duck Down & Feather Mattress Topper is irresistibly soft and provides cushioned support beneath your sheets, enhancing the depth of your comfort. A decadently filled duvet and wonderfully plump pillows look irresistibly inviting and offer the utmost comfort when you’re cuddled up in bed.
For the ultimate indulgence, select natural fillings such as our Hungarian Goose Down Duvet, which offers unparalleled plushness and breathability, securely enclosed in a 330 thread count pure cotton cover. For sensitive sleepers, the Soft as Down Deluxe Duvet provides the luxurious softness of microfibre fillings, cased in pure cotton with delicate satin piping. Whichever you choose, lay these foundations ready to be plumped to perfection for a beautifully lavish-looking bed.
Consider your colour scheme
Your chosen colour palette has a profound influence on the ambience of your bedroom, setting the mood of the space and paving the way for restful nights and rejuvenating mornings. Emulate the aesthetic of a high-end hotel bed by embracing calming, neutral hues that exude refined opulence. Crisp white bed linen featuring classic Oxford edges and exquisitely subtle accent embroidery, as showcased by our 400 thread count Langham Double Row Cord Duvet Cover, are the epitome of quiet sophistication, infusing your bed with a luxurious allure.
Embrace beautiful bed linen
Envelope your decadent duvet and plump pillows in beautiful bed linen that exudes luxury and elegance, elevating your bed from ordinary to exquisite. For a sophisticated dressing a bed idea, evoke timeless elegance with the classic lines of our 600 thread count Kensington Ladder Stitch Duvet Cover, featuring opulent embroidered borders and crisp Oxford edges.
Embrace the relaxed refinement of our Amelie Stripe Bed Linen Set, expertly woven from a cotton linen blend with muted stripes and pearlescent corozo buttons. Our luxury duvet cover and pillowcase sets offer a style to suit every taste and aesthetic. This dedicated focus on bedding decorating detail is what separates the everyday from the extraordinary.
Layer luxurious cushions
Lavish layers of indulgent textures and tantalising fabrics are the best way to dress a bed, adding a vital touch of opulent comfort to your bedroom retreat. Adorn your luxury bed with a carefully curated collection of plush cushions and luxury pillows in tactile materials, such as our Catherine Cushion, crafted from 100% cotton velvet, or Katrina Faux Fur Cushion for irresistible softness. Embrace muted, neutral hues for a sense of calm and tranquillity, creating an irresistibly sumptuous sanctuary that invites you to sink in and savour every luxurious moment.
"Layering is a sensory experience. We advise playing with three distinct tactile fabrics - perhaps a velvet, a slub cotton, and a bouclé - to build an irresistible depth that tempts the hand and softens the gaze. It transforms the bed from a resting place into a sculpted cloud."
— Phoebe Richardson, Assistant Buyer
Invest in the best materials
Carefully consider the fabric of your bed sheets to ensure you’re investing in the best materials to create your luxury bedroom haven. Select luxurious bed sheets crafted from single-ply, 100% organic cotton, for supremely soft and long-lasting comfort to ensure your bed will remain immaculate for years to come.
For an exceptionally silky-smooth sensation, indulge in the opulence of our 100% natural cotton Kensington Flat Sheet, meticulously crafted to promise your most luxurious night’s sleep yet.
Drape a luxury throw
For a final flourish of inviting indulgence, effortlessly drape a beautifully soft luxury throw across the foot of your bed, adding depth and character to the aesthetic and an extra layer of warmth.
This is the pinnacle of thoughtful bed dressing. Indulge in the tactile comfort of a pure wool piece like the Elizabeth Throw or embrace sophisticated texture with the classic design of the Harper Herringbone Throw. For the ultimate in decadent softness, the Katrina Faux Fur Throw provides an inviting, plush surface. Each exquisite piece is a testament to your refined taste and attention to detail, allowing you to relax and unwind in serene and stylish comfort.
Final flourishes of light and scent
With the centrepiece of your sanctuary exquisitely dressed in the finest linens and embellished with sumptuous cushions and throws, you can turn your attention to the little details that complete the luxurious look.
To dress a bed perfectly also means framing it beautifully: a pair of elegantly styled bedside tables offer the perfect accent, adorned with lamps that cast a soft, inviting glow. This light should be soft and diffused, creating pockets of gentle illumination that banish harsh shadows.
