Your bed provides the canvas for buyers to imagine maintaining a healthy, sexy lifestyle.  As the focal point of the bedroom styling your bed as seen in department stores and countless magazines, provides images of five star hotels and dreamy retreats.

Throwing the comforter over a pile of jumbled sheets and calling it a day won’t work when it comes time to sell your house.  If you want to get the look of a 5 star hotel bed, making the bed to give home shoppers the feel as if housekeeping stopped by to tuck in your covers, will be a top priority.

Make the bed feel sexy by adding soft, round cornered and padded headboards; high thread count sheets in summer and warming flannel bedding in winter.  The soothing and tantalizing sense of touch will make a memorable experience for yourself and buyers alike.

There is nothing like plump, cushy comforters as a cozy reminder that conjures images of slipping into bed for a good nights sleep.  Top it off with overstuffed throw pillows to provide a nurturing feeling.

Avoid the clutter of too many pillows, and big, oversized beds in small bedrooms. Position the bed away from but facing the door.

Stick with one color pallette of freshly washed fluffy bedding and linens.  Nothing feels more like a hotel room than crisp, white, soothing blues or neutral tones for a stress-relieveing effect.

5 star hotel bed making to get the luxury hotel look:

Start with fitted sheet followed with flat sheet.  Add a coverlet to extend past the sheet.  Folded down over the duvet to give the feeling of opulence. Keeping sheets, coverlet and duvet similar in color to those in the photo, serve as punctuation to a luxurious bed. If using a tall headboard, place the pillows vertically to break up the large surface area.
