At Zen Home we feel one of the most important parts of a bedroom is the bed. It is generally the largest piece of furniture and is the first thing that greets you when you walk into the room. This is why at Zen Home we truly see bed making as an art and take pride in how we make our client’s bed when performing our Luxury Green Cleaning. Here is a step by step guide of how to make your bed look like a magazine quality bed.
- First start with layers and different colors. Having your top and fitted sheet a different color from your duvet cover or comforter will create an interesting color patten and break up the monotony.
- Next, put on your fitted sheet and make sure it is tucked on all sides evenly.
- Next layer your flat sheet and create a 12 inch fold where your pillows will end on the bed. Make sure you create hospital corners at each end of the bed.
- Next layer your duvet cover/comforter and make a 3/4 inch fold slightly below the fitted sheet which will allow the fitted sheet to slightly show through.
- Next layer your pillow starting with the standard pillow cases in the back (4 pillows create depth and dimension).
- Lastly layer 2-3 Euro Shams in front of your 4 pillows.
- Play with pops of color and texture by adding decorative pillows in front of your Euro Sham.
- Viola, you now have a “Zen Home” bed.
And of course if you are ever too busy to make your bed, call Zen Home to clean your home and make your bed like pros.
