3 Tips to Create a Luxury Bed in Your STR! 🛏️✨⁠
Our friends at Lulu and Georgia know bedding and how to style a bed to wow your guests! Here are their 3 simple tips to create that luxury look and feel: ⁠
⁠
1: Start with high-quality sheets and shams. High-quality linens provide a luxurious and comfortable sleeping experience & tend to be more durable and long-lasting than cheaper options. ⁠
⁠
2: Add layers with quilts and coverlets. Not only will this add additional texture and color, but they're also helpful for accommodating guest's varying temperature preferences. ⁠
⁠
3: Keep pillows simple yet impactful – no need to pile on tons of throw pillows. One to two carefully curated lumbar pillows will do the trick, just keep to the same overall color palette. ⁠
⁠
Don’t forget, now, through the end of the year, Minoan members get extra savings on all purchases from Lulu and Georgia – time to elevate that bedding!
