OUR TIPS
FOR MAKING THE PERFECT BED
ENLARGE IT At 26 inches square, Euro pillows are great for reading or lounging. Try a print that coordin- ates with your duvet.
MIX IT Experiment with saucy accent cushions to deliver a punch of pattern and scale.
TUCK IT A folded duvet reveals a tucked-in coverlet and top sheet.
FLUFF IT The charm of a duvet is that you rarely need to make the bed – just fluff and go!
LAYER IT Extra texture is added with a cashmere throw at the end of the bed.
FINISH IT A floor-length bed skirt completes the look.
DROP IT A woven rug next to the bed adds warmth and is soft underfoot.
