bed linens Archives - A.Clore Interiors

Making your bed certainly isn’t rocket science, but the difference between a messy display and an especially smooth (and super-inviting) mattress is actually all in the details.

1. You lay your top sheet pattern-up.

Placing it pattern-side down is actually the best way to show off that fun print. When you fold the top of the sheet over your duvet or comforter the pattern will be revealed, not the washed-out backside.

2. You skip hospital corners.

Whatever way you tuck in your sheets will look great, right? Not so fast. Hospital corners are classic for a reason, because they make the entire bed look taut, polished, and elegant. And really, they’re not that hard to do.

3. You don’t make your bed every morning.

That rumor that your bed needs to “air out”? It’s a myth. Make your bed every morning and after a while, you won’t feel like you’ve properly started your day without tucking in your sheets.

4. You don’t iron your sheets.

Yes, it’s a pain, but it makes a huge difference in your bed’s look and feel. Certain fabrics don’t need ironing (like flannel) but if your sheets are made from linen or cotton, take the time. No one likes to cuddle up with wrinkled sheets.

5. You don’t use the inside-out trick when stuffing your duvet cover.

Struggling with your duvet? Here’s a tip: Turn the cover inside out and place your hands inside the corners of the closed side. Grab your comforter with those hands, too, and then shake the cover on.

6. You don’t use the duvet ties.

You have a duvet with ties and a comforter with slots — use them! They really help keep a fussy duvet in place, even after a night of tossing and turning.

Wooden headboards are hitting the interior playing ground hard! They are very cost effective when they are reused from old furniture at home, and they tend to last a very long time! They can create both modern and rustic looks for a variety of bedroom spaces. Today, we have a few simple, natural-looking headboard ideas that can be implemented at home with much ease. All the items you will need you pick up from your local Home Depot, or you might even have the items available at home already!

Have any old window frames you’re dying to throw out?! Well, think again! Old window frames can be reused and upcycled into a number of different decorative items for your home. Like this project, for instance! If you don’t have any old window frames available, you can just pick up some wood planks while at Home Depot or a sister store. You can start by painting the frames to your desired color, sanding them down, or leaving them as is if you’d like. This is going to be your headboard, so decorate it however your little heart pleases. Depending on how long the frames are, you can either attach them to the base of your bed, screw them into the wall above your bed, or simply lean them against the wall temporarily to see if you’re comfortable with the design.

Why not add a branch to your headboard? Decorate a wooden branch with hanging florals that make the headboard look unique and colorful. It’s the perfect way to add a little bit of color and vibrancy to your space through the use of beautiful additives! If you already have a tall headboard, you can screw open hooks into it to hold the branch upright. You can then either make your own floral strings, or find a few at your local craft store, and tie them around the branch to dangle.

Make it your own. We don’t have a structured list of steps, but if you want a few hints, nail a long wooden plank on the black to hold everything together, use stencils or tracing paper if you want to put a design on it, and it looks best if you build a matching bed frame. 🙂
