How to Make the Perfect Bed from Start to Finish
Before diving into specific bedding styles, let’s cover the essentials of how to make your bed. Creating a well-made bed is all about layering and thoughtful styling. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting that magazine-worthy look:
1. Start with a Mattress Pad or Protector
The foundation of any good bed is a mattress pad or protector. Not only does this protect your mattress, but it also adds an extra layer of comfort. For the ultimate cozy setup, choose a padded or quilted option.
2. Add a Fitted Sheet
Smooth and snug, the fitted sheet should be pulled tightly around the mattress corners. Opt for soft, breathable fabrics like cotton or jersey, depending on your teen's temperature preferences while sleeping.
3. Layer a Flat Sheet
The flat sheet adds a smooth layer between your teen and their duvet or comforter. When making the bed, place the finished side of the flat sheet down so when folded back over the top blanket, the soft side is up.
4. Choose Your Top Layer
Whether it’s a cozy duvet, quilt or comforter, this is where you can start reflecting your teen’s personal style. From coastal designs to preppy patterns or romantic LoveShackFancy florals, this top layer is the star of the show
5. Fold Back for a Layered Look
To create a polished look, fold the flat sheet and the top of your duvet or comforter back about a quarter of the way down the bed. This gives the bed a more luxurious, inviting appearance.
6. Layer in Decorative Blankets or Throws
For added texture and warmth, drape a throw blanket across the foot of the bed. Chunky knit throws, beachy striped blankets or velvety-soft options can help tie the room’s aesthetic together.
7. Finish with Pillows
Finally, it’s time to arrange pillows. Start with sleeping pillows in cases that match the sheets, then add euro shams and finish with decorative throw pillows. Play around with textures, shapes and sizes to complete the look.
With these steps in mind, let’s explore some specific bedding looks you can use to bring your teen’s style to life!
The Coastal Bedding Look
Bring a beachy, breezy vibe to your teen’s room with coastal bedding. Coastal-inspired designs often include calming hues of blue, soft whites and sandy neutrals that create a relaxed, airy atmosphere. Perfect for teens who love the ocean or want a peaceful sanctuary, beach bedding typically features light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Pair a white linen duvet with a navy blue striped blanket draped over the foot of the bed and add throw pillows in soft pastels or tropical prints.
How to Make the Bed with Coastal Style
After laying your foundation with crisp white sheets, add a soft-colored duvet or quilt in light shades like seafoam or aqua. Fold it back and accent with nautical-themed throw pillows or a striped blanket for that true coastal vibe.
The Preppy Bedding Look
If your teen loves bold colors and classic patterns, preppy bedding is a fantastic option. Think bright pinks, navy blues and classic stripes or plaids that evoke a polished, yet fun vibe. Pair preppy bedding with monogrammed pillows or playful accents like pom-pom throws for a chic, timeless look.
How to Make the Bed with Preppy Style
Start with crisp, brightly colored sheets, then layer a duvet with bold stripes or plaid. Add a finishing touch with monogrammed pillows and matching shams for a complete, pulled-together feel.
The LoveShackFancy x Pottery Barn Teen Look
Bring a touch of charm to your teen’s room with our exclusive LoveShackFancy Collection. Known for its delicate florals, soft pastel colors and vintage-inspired ruffles, this bedding adds an ethereal, dreamy feel. Layer with botanical pillows, lace-trimmed blankets or velvet throws for an effortlessly cozy and stylish bed.
How to Make the Bed with LoveShackFancy Style
Start with floral-printed sheets in soft pinks or blues. Add a quilt or duvet with ruffles or lace details, folding it back for a layered look. Accent with pillows in complementary pastel shades and finish with a delicate lace throw or a velvet blanket for added luxury.
Cozy Bedding for Ultimate Comfort
When it comes to creating a haven for relaxation, cozy bedding is essential. Look for ultra-soft fabrics like flannel, jersey or velvet that invite warmth and comfort. Chunky knit blankets, plush throws and down-filled pillows can help transform your teen’s bed into the ultimate cozy cocoon.
How to Make the Bed with Cozy Style
Start with jersey or flannel sheets for a soft, warm base. Layer a down-filled comforter or quilt on top, then fold it back to reveal the cozy layers underneath. Add a textured throw, like a chunky knit blanket, and pile on plush pillows for a bed that invites relaxation.
Organic & Sustainable Bedding
For eco-conscious families, organic and sustainable bedding is a go-to choice. Made from natural materials like organic cotton, these bedding options look good and feel good. Our bedding collections prioritize sustainability without sacrificing style.
How to Make the Bed with Eco-Minded Bedding
Choose organic cotton sheets in neutral or earth tones to start. Top with a natural fiber duvet, such as one made from organic cotton. Complete the look with eco-minded pillows and throws made from recycled or sustainable materials.
How to Make Your Bed Even Cozier with Layers
To take your teen’s bed to the next level of coziness, focus on layering. Start with a soft mattress pad or mattress protector to add a layer of comfort and keep the mattress in good condition. Next, opt for plush blankets or textured throws in colors that match the room's aesthetic. Finally, add a mix of pillows in various shapes and sizes—think bolster pillows, euro shams and decorative pillows for extra flair.
Achieving Different Aesthetics with Bedding
The right bedding can completely transform your teen’s room, allowing them to express their style. Whether it’s playful prints like tie-dye, classic stripes or sophisticated solids, think about the overall vibe you want to create. For a modern look, consider minimalist bedding in neutral colors with sleek, clean lines. For something more eclectic, go bold with bright colors, vibrant patterns or textural elements like tassels and embroidery.
By following these steps and choosing bedding that reflects your teen’s personality, you can create a stylish and comfortable space that feels just right. Whether they love a coastal or preppy look, or want something cozy and sustainable, these bedding ideas will help bring their vision to life.
