Step 1: Prepare the Base

Add the fitted sheet to your mattress as usual.

Pull the corners taut so its as smooth as possible, creating the foundation for the overall appearance.

If youre already familiar withmaking hospital corners, use them with this method for an even sharper-looking bed.

A duvet insert without the cover works just fine, as it wont be visible.

Ensure its centered so there is an even overhang on all sides.

Smooth it out to prevent bunching.

Check that the tops of the first flat sheet, the blanket, and this one are all aligned.

Then, fold the tops of both sheets over the blanket, securing it between them.

Youll know youve done it right when you cant see the insert.

Smooth out the top and sides before adding decorative pillows or a runner to complete your bed transformation.
