Making your bed does not require a degree, but there are several tips and tactics that can help make the job more effective. Surprisingly, many people mistakenly turn their top sheets upside down. Can you believe it? Here’s why.
According to Southern Living, the patterned side of the top sheet should be facing downward. While this may appear paradoxical, it makes perfect sense when you fold the top sheet over the duvet, comforter, or quilt. This manner, the patterned side will be visible, providing a beautiful element to your bed.
The best method? Folding the top sheet down an inch or two over the top of your quilt. If you then fold the top sheet and quilt together once more, your bed will start to resemble the neatly made beds you find in hotels. What could be better than that?
These simple housekeeping tips can significantly enhance the appearance of your bedroom, making it look thoughtfully put together rather than hastily assembled. Additionally, some recommend using two pillows with pillowcases that match the sheet set, along with two pillows that match the quilt or duvet cover.
