How to Style One Bed Two Ways

Transforming the mood of your bedroom can be as simple as restyling your bed, and with quality materials like buttery-soft Belgian flax linen, you have the perfect canvas for creativity. Whether you're drawn to the pristine, neatly tucked-in appearance or you prefer a more laid-back, lived in vibe, Fiona Gould has got you covered. By taking advantage of the versatility and comfort of Abbotson Linen, you can easily achieve these two looks in just a few steps. 

For those who appreciate the serene, organised feel of a well-made bed, the neat and tucked-in style is a timeless choice. Here’s how you can achieve this sophisticated look with your Abbotson Linen: 

Lay your Abbotson Linen fitted sheet tightly around your mattress, ensuring there are no wrinkles. The natural texture of the linen will add a subtle, refined touch even in its most simple form. 

Place your flat sheet on top, allowing an equal amount of overhang on each side of the bed. Tuck the bottom end under the mattress tightly and fold the top over about 6 inches back towards the mattress, creating a crisp edge. 

Lay your Abbotson Bloc quilt cover neatly on top, aligning it with the fold of your flat sheet. For a sleek look, tuck in the sides and bottom of the duvet cover under the mattress, ensuring it lies smooth and even. 

Fluff your pillows and slip them into matching Abbotson Bloc pillowcases. Arrange them in a straight line against the headboard, standing upright. For added refinement, consider incorporating decorative pillows with subtle patterns or textures that complement the natural hues of your linen. 

For the final touch, consider draping a neatly folded throw at the foot of the bed or placing a single decorative cushion in the center. 

Embracing a more casual, inviting style doesn't mean sacrificing looks. The untucked and relaxed look is perfect for creating a cosy, lived-in feel that's equally stylish. Here’s how to achieve it: 

Start with your Abbotson linen fitted sheet. While still ensuring it's properly secured to the mattress, don't worry about ironing out every crease— the natural wrinkles in the linen enhance the relaxed vibe. 

Place your flat sheet on top, but this time leave it untucked, allowing it to naturally drape over the sides of the bed. Lay your duvet cover loosely over the bed, also untucked, to add to the relaxed feel. 

The key to mastering this look is in the pillow placement. Instead of arranging your pillows in a straight, orderly line, opt for a more casual display. Play around with the placement of standard and European pillows — an asymmetrical arrangement really adds to the look. Mix and match pillowcases from the Abbotson Linen collection for added texture and depth. 

To enhance the cosy ambiance, casually drape a throw across one corner of the bed. Feel free to add a couple of loosely placed decorative cushions to invite comfort and add visual interest.

By switching between these two styles, you can enjoy the versatility of your Abbotson Linen and keep your bedroom looking fresh and intriguing. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion, in need of a serene retreat, or simply wanting to mix things up, these styling tips will help you make the most of your beautiful linen, ensuring your bedroom is always a reflection of your personal style and mood.
