3 Tips For Styling A Platform Bed

If you have a platform bed then you need to make sure that you style it properly. If you don’t then you may find that it looks out of place and this is the last thing that you want. One way for you to work around this would be for you to put in the work now, so you can make sure that your room is looking as great as it can.

Cover The Mattress

The first thing you need to do is try and cover the mattress with some kind of fitted sheet. The great thing about doing this is that it helps to keep your bed looking neat. A fitted sheet will have elasticated corners so that when it does go over the mattress, it ends up smoothing out any creases and this is great. Now, you may be wondering why you need a fitted sheet under your display sheet and this is understandable. 

By having a fitted sheet under your display sheet, you can give your mattress a smooth appearance and you can stop the mattress from getting dirty or stained. You can also cover the upholstery of the mattress more and this will stop the mattress from being as see-through. Fitted sheets tend to be available in white and it is recommended that you use white so that it matches your display sheet. 

If you can do this then you will soon find that things end up working in your favor. Remember, you can always invest in bedroom sets if you want to bring your room together nicely. 

Add A Display Sheet

When you have completed the step above, you then need to add a display sheet so you can dress up the platform bed. Covering the mattress with a fitted sheet is the best way for you to make the bed look great. When you tuck the sheet underneath the mattress you have to make sure you give it a good pull. If you can do this then you can then make sure that the finish is nice and smooth and this can work in your favor. When you sit on the bed, you will soon find that this gives the mattress sheet a bit of a pull so it loosens a bit. If you can give the sheet a little taut then this will help you to keep the nice, smooth finish.

Add Some Bright Pillows

If you can, you need to make sure that you add some nice, bright pillows. If you don’t take the time to add some nice pillows then this will work against you. You may find that your bed ends up looking dark and uncomforting and this is the last thing you need. If you want to work around this then one way for you to take care of this would be for you to opt for a duvet that actually matches the decor. If you can do this then you will soon find that it is easier to make your bedroom look appealing and that everything suits the room nicely.
