Achieving a perfectly made bed might be simpler than you think, according to lifestyle influencer Loui Burke. With 1.3 million followers, Burke has shared his five expert rules for creating an aesthetically pleasing and well-organized sleep space, emphasizing precision and specific techniques.

Burke advises folding the flat sheet and duvet back approximately 30 to 40 centimeters from the head of the bed, recommending the use of a ruler to ensure accuracy. This fold, often referred to as a "hospital corner" in some contexts, creates a neat edge and makes the bed appear more structured.

For pillows, Burke suggests a specific arrangement. Pillows should be laid flat, not propped upright. He recommends placing them on either side of the bed. Additionally, a pair of European (square) pillows can be positioned either behind or in front of the standard pillows. To complete the look, a single lumbar cushion should be placed in front of the others.

A properly dressed bed should have neat pillows laid flat – not upright – on either side, with the option of two European (square) pillows either behind or in front and then one lumbar cushion to finish. Bend-e bed and bed linen, bolzan.com.

This layering technique aims for a polished appearance, preventing smaller cushions from cluttering the bed and potentially ending up on the floor overnight. The emphasis is on a streamlined and visually appealing arrangement that contributes to an "Instagram-perfect" bedroom aesthetic.
