I've ditched throw pillows on my bed and embraced this simple, but stylish approach that has helped me sleep better

Growing up, I was definitely the kid with the eternally messy bed. No matter how hard I tried, the routine of making it just didn’t stick. As I became a home interiors writer, I attempted to learn how to properly dress a bed and copy the styles I was constantly admiring with hotel-inspired set-ups with scatter cushions of various sizes to make my bed a cosier space.

Well, to be honest. I’m absolutely done with it, and I’m prioritising better sleep hygiene for myself and my partner without extra storage, washing and time spent on unused cushions.
