Elisa, from theedgewoodhome via Instagram shares with us her tips on how to create this beautiful bedroom look:
To create a cozy primary bedroom retreat, consider incorporating the following elements:
- Comfortable bedding with soft sheets and a cozy comforter, duvet, or quilt
- Mood lighting, such as table lamps or wall sconces
- A reading nook with a comfortable chair
- Natural elements, such as plants or a piece of nature-inspired art
- Personal touches, such as photographs or sentimental items
- A clean and organized space
- Calming colors and textures, such as neutrals, or natural woods and wools.
How to layer blankets and throws on your bed:
1. I lay my main blanket/duvet/comforter. Here I am using a velvet quilt from Target.
2. Then I folded another quilt in half and put it towards the pillows.
3. Next, I added my Kantha towards the foot of the bed but still overlapping the white quilt.
4. Lastly, I added the waffle blanket (my favorite) to top.
