The DIY Reel: Choosing the Right Bedding

Did you know you spend almost one third of your life in bed? Make sure you're comfortable with these tips on how to choose the best bedding, straight from our resident decor expert Kelly Edwards!:



Kelly's best tip? Start with sheets! Sheets come in different thread counts; the higher the thread count, the softer the sheet. Although standard thread counts start around 250, if you really want to pamper yourself, go for something higher like an 850 - 1000 thread count.

As for comforters, you also have several choices, whether you choose a standard comforter or a duvet cover. Another option? A coverlet! Similar to a quilt, it's great as a decorative accent for cooler weather.

Last, but not least -- bedskirts! These work well for dressing up the bottom of the bed, hiding box springs, storage and even unsightly bed legs. They all have different looks, but they serve the same purpose.

Happy decorating!
