General Tips for Creating A Beautiful Ensemble
- Match the flat
sheet to the standard pillow cases and the duvet cover
fabric to the European square shams.
- The fitted sheet
does not have to match the flat sheet. It can pick up a
wall color or introduce a complementary pattern or
color.
- The flat sheet
is an important element in the overall presentation. By
folding the top sheet down over the duvet (and not
tucking it in), the full complement of pillow, sheet,
and duvet patterns, colors, and textures are shown to
maximum advantage.
- Pillow shams are
ideal for experimenting with introducing additional
patterns and colors.
- The duvet can be
turned down symmetrically or diagonally to reveal
coordinating patterns or colors on the reverse side.
This creates another opportunity for showing off
contrasting textures and patterns of sheets or blankets.
- The duvet can
also be draped at the foot of the bed or rolled and
secured with a silk cord and tassel for decorative
effect.
- A neutral
colored bed skirt is the most flexible and can form a
base for any bedding ensemble. However, one can be
chosen to match the duvet cover or sheet pattern. For a
more lavish effect, try doubling bed skirts. Layer a
second, contrasting skirt one size smaller than the bed
on top of the first skirt.
- A lush array of
pillows gives the bed a look of pampered opulence. The
taller European squares should form the frame of back
row of the arrangement, while the standard and boudoir
pillows can be interspersed in a cascade of layers. The
overall effect is a progression from tallest to
shortest. Pillows of the same size can be stacked in
pairs for a more tailored look.
- Consider
choosing a comforter one size larger than the bed for
generous draping.
