AFTER working alongside interior designers for three years, one expert shared what she\u2019s learned.<\/p>\n
She had been making her bed wrong for most of her life.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
One of the experts at the online design firm Havenly (@thehavenly) said her experience working with the pros has taught her a thing or two about a curated home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been working with interior designers for three years, and these are the things I learned,\u201d she began in a clip.<\/p>\n
She was surprised to find that the way she had been making her bed wasn\u2019t up to standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a good portion of my life, I didn\u2019t put any thought into making my bed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would just stack my pillows and then stack nicer pillows in front. I thought that was what I was supposed to do,\u201d she said, showing an image that exemplified her former method.<\/p>\n
She soon discovered there\u2019s a more luxe way to do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cTurns out, you\u2019re supposed to lay down your sleeping pillows, stacked one on top of the other.\u201d<\/p>\n
The image she flashed showed the sleeping pillows flat on the mattress, with the decorative pillows standing in front of them.<\/p>\n

It looks a lot better, it looks like you\u2019re in a store and it makes a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n She also learned that \u201cadding contrast\u201d has a different meaning than she thought.<\/p>\n \u201cDesigners always say your home should have a lot of contrast, so when I first started working with them, I would think black and white.\u201d<\/p>\n They don\u2019t necessarily mean contrasting colors, though.<\/p>\n \u201cIt means in style.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, this very vintage, ornate mirror paired with these modern pieces of furniture, these modern silhouettes, is contrasting design styles, but paired together it looks really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n She said your lighting makes a difference as well.<\/p>\n \u201cAll interior designers do not touch their overhead lights.\u201d<\/p>\n Use lamps to set the mood instead.<\/p>\n \u201cThey want you to have like five lamps per room, and they don\u2019t want you to even touch the light switch on your wall.<\/p>\n \u201cThey want every lamp on at all times and never want to see overhead lighting.\u201d<\/p>\n And while you may think casual, cozy d\u00e9cor happens by accident, it does not.<\/p>\n \u201cThey love an \u2018effortless\u2019 blanket\u2026[but] all of these blankets that you see, they take a lot of effort to get perfectly effortless.\u201d<\/p>\n Her final piece of advice was to make a $28 Amazon purchase.<\/p>\nM&S REMOVES Xmas ad post & apologises for ‘unintentional hurt’ \u2013 but star hits back<\/h3>\n
