Dream Home Makeovers with Sophie Robinson airs Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 5
On Dream Home Makeovers with Sophie Robinson on Channel 5, she shares a few simple steps to take a bland and boring bed and give it more of a hotel vibe. ‘First, I think it looks really nice to simply fold back the duvet, you’ve added another lovely, soft layer,’ says Sophie.
Sophie Robinson says two pillows per person are a must. She opts for pillow covers that have a nice scalloped edge for bringing in some detail and colour.
If decorative cushions are your thing, add on a few extra scatter cushions of different shapes and sizes. Finally, she says to add a throw, draped over the foot of the bed for comfort and warmth. By this point, your bed will be looking much more inviting.

Jo James, Founder & Creative Director of Bedfolk, recommends oversizing your duvet for the perfect bedscape. ‘We’re all about simplicity at Bedfolk, but one area where excess is encouraged is duvet size!
‘I always recommend sizing up on your duvet (one size up from your mattress/bed) which creates a cloud of comfort and feels generously luxurious.’ Jo also suggests adding interest with a flat sheet between the duvet and fitted sheet.
Fold this flat sheet over the top and create a pop of colour and extra warmth, or an alternative to a proper duvet in summer.
