A headboardis a must to set the tone for a polished and relaxing space. An upholsteredversion allows you to recline in comfort (perfect for late-night reading), while a metal option adds a hint of glam.

For the ultimate in luxury, softness, and shine, consider Egyptian-quality cotton sheets with thread count of 200 or higher. When it comes to weaves, sheets in a sateen weave offers a smooth, lustrous texture. On the other hand, twill weaves are more wrinkle-resistant to keep your bed looking fresh.

Tip!
When making the bed, fold the top sheet back over the top of the duvet or comforter to show off your sheets, especially if you have ones with a colored or embroidered border!

Create an irresistible retreat with a high-quality down comforter. Look for baffle-box construction or gusset edges to maximize the loft (fluffiness) of your comforter and give your bedding that sink-into-the-softness look. Don't forget a duvet cover that lends color, pattern, or texture.

A lavish bedding setup requires at least three layers of decadence, so don't skip the blanket. Drape a throw across one corner of the bed for a casual feel, or fold it evenly across the foot of the bed for a well-kept, polished look. In the winter months, swap the blanket out for a plush quilt.

Polish off your luxurious bedding with the right amount of bed pillows. In addition to the bed pillows and shams that match or contrast your bedding, opt for one to five decorative pillows—one for a pared-down look, five on a king-sized bed or for an over-the-top vibe. Play with bold patterns, colors, or textures to layer in your personality.
