Make your bed well is the key to giving your room the comfort and elegance of the most beautiful hotels. A crumpled or poorly pulled sleeping spoils everything, while a nickel bed immediately invites rest and promises nights worthy of a five -star. From the choice of materials to the color agreement, to the way of having sheets and blankets, here is everything you need to know to reproduce the palace effect at home.
When you think of a stay at the hotel, it is often the bed that comes back in memory: a real cocoon, designed to offer optimal comfort and guarantee a really restful sleep. Insidering high -end establishments can be a great way toImprove the atmosphere of the room at home. With a few tips stuck in pros, it is possible to Make a homemade bed as neat as at the hotel.
Choose your bedding as at the hotel
Before even getting into practice, you must invest in a good mattress To compete with hotel beds. Memory versions of form, which follow the position of the body during the night, for example have a lot of success with individuals. Even if the mattress represents a large expense post, it is essential for comfort and therefore for the quality of sleep.
In addition to the mattress, it is the finesse of sheets that characterizes the beds of high -end establishments. Choose a quality set asks for a good knowledge of the subjects. Natural textiles like Linen, cottonare to be favored because they bring a lot of sweetness to the touch and are above all less likely to become rough after a few washes. Beware, however, of the choice of cotton: it is available today in the form of a percale, jersey, satin, but must offer at least 80 threads per square cm For resistant and soft sheets over time (you will find this information on the label of any adornment). If natural materials are advised to make a bed like at the hotel, it is also because they are crumple less quickly than synthetic fabrics. As it is not always easy to iron such bulky sheets, you can also opt for a linen set which never loses its elegance even when folds appear.
Sheets with good dimensions
The dimensions of the laundry necessarily influence the final look of the sleeping. Hotel professionals advise Pieces that fall largely on the edges of the bedeven if it means folding up the excess under the mattress. And for good reason, there are always generous proportions at the hotel, with a set that largely wraps the structure of the bed. For a Standard mattress of 140×190 cmit is good to adopt a Duvet 240×220 cm Instead of the 200×220 cm usually associated with this format. Regarding the flat sheet, it must offer the same dimensions as the duvet to draw a bed where the laundry is perfectly aligned.
What are the tips to have a beautiful bed?
Grant the adornment
Whether in linen, cotton percale or even silk, sheets are chosen in accordance with the bedroom decor. Many establishments rely on white ornaments To avoid decorative missteps, but also accentuate the elegance of the room. At home, white gives the impression of a clean and fresh bed every evening, as at the hotel. Colors and possible patterns are welcome, but it is necessary Avoid as much as possible to mismatch The elements (pillowcases, sheet, cover).
Multiply the layers
Comfort is at the heart of our concerns when it comes to the sleeping area, and what could be better than a farandole of Cushions and cozy blankets To accentuate it? The household linen transforms the bed into a real cloud of sweetness where you dream of curling up to sleep or simply a book. Hotels, we remember in particular the idea of Varied dimensions cushionsincluding two large rectangulars which allow you to lean comfortably to read a book at nightfall.
Treat the structure of the bed
In addition to the mattress and the household linen, we must not forget the structure of the bed in the equation. The feet should not be too low: Minimum 16 cm high models allow the mattress to be raised at a seat. It is also possible to install a headboard To create an enveloping bubble. Chosen in fabric or in a natural material like wood, it recalls the sewing atmosphere of hotels at home.
The democratization of the drap-housse made the flat sheet of certain homes disappear, but this element of bedding is essential to make a five-star bed. It brings a nice finish while protecting the mattress from bodily perspiration – as such it combines the comfort and elegance expected in most hotels. It is advisable to install the sheet-housing properly before affixing the flat sheet or the unsightly folds are likely to show the climax once. The flat sheet must
- be perfectly centered on the bed,
- With an equal fallout on each side,
- Before folding the edges under the mattress in the manner of the military.
- A hand gesture is then sufficient to smooth the remaining folds.
It is also possible to use the flat sheet as an insulating layer between the duvet and the cloth, especially in winter. In this case, it must be deposited upside down during assembly so that the place is visible once this sheet is folded down on the duvet to form a setback.
The method to install a “hotel room” duvet is slightly different whether or not you have a duvet cover.
- Without, the positioning must be perfectly balanced, with an equal fallout on both sides of the bed, but a gap of one hand between the duvet and the top of the mattress. A detail that makes all the difference since it allows you to fold the flat sheet on the top of the duvet to bring a nice finish.
- If it is enhanced with a cover, the duvet completely covers the mattress and sheets, and most often finished surmounted by cushions.
- Another alternative is to border the duvet by folding it under the mattress in order to obtain a “curved” effect as we can see in some large hotel houses.
With or without cover, the duvet is the first visible layer of the bed, it does not tolerate any stain and requires impeccable ironing before setting up.
