Queen Of Comfort

1. An upholstered bedhead is a must-have. Light grey offers a cool contrast to warm tones, and helps balance out the room while picking up on touches of grey in the artwork.

2. Start with four regular pillows, with two on each side of the bed, resting against the bedhead. Put the plumpest one at the front.

3. Add decorative cushions. Layer them in a pyramid so there are more at the back, arrange the smallest cushions so they sit at the front.

4. Pull your quilt off the end of the bed. Lay a folded comforter and throw two-thirds up the bed. Fold down the top of the quilt about 20-cm, to rest on top of the layers. This layering gives the bed extra volume, so it looks cosier.

5. A mix of fabrics such as linen, velvet, tassels and cotton is key to creating texture and interest.
