I discovered the free hack to making your bed look expensive – all you need to do is arrange your pillows differently
DO you ever wonder why your bed at home just doesn’t look or feel like one in a hotel?
It turns out there is a very easy hack to instantly replicating a five-star look – and it’s all down to how you arrange your pillows.
TikTok user Shannon said she was fed up with her bed not resembling luxurious ones she saw on Pinterest, but then discovered the trick to making it look “expensive.”
She said: “I was thinking why does mine look so flopped compared to the ones I’m looking at?
“It just doesn’t have that fluffy, luxurious feel.”
The home lover realised she could achieve the look without buying new items, but by simply styling her own pillows and duvet differently.
She found pillows should be displayed standing up, instead of flat down – with cushions facing up in front.
Shannon explained on her @shannon_mitch account: “All I did is literally move how the pillows sit.
“I set both my pillows facing directly up.
“I was always taught to make your bed with the pillows flat, with the second pillow on top.”
Shannon added that the new method “fills out the headboard.”
But that wasn’t her only trick.
She then showed how you should fold down the top of the duvet, like you see in expensive hotels.
She continued: “Then I just folded down this top.
“This probably sounds so stupid, but I just think it looks so much better.”
She also moved her throw from dangling half off the end of the bed to in the middle.
Shannon added: “Why did I not do this sooner?
“This looks so much better.
“It is cheap bedding, I’m not going to buy expensive bedding, I’m not going to buy more pillows so I’m literally working with the same things I had yesterday.
“But I do think it looks significantly better.”
Her video has racked up 7,000 likes, and people were impressed with the hack.
One said: “Just done this, oh the simple things. Looks fab. Thank you.”
Another added: “Far better honey! Looks more expensive.”
