All you need to complete the picture is a guest!

Pile up with comfort!

Preparing the bed for guests is the best way to make them feel welcome, whether or not you make the bedding fine art or get everything done in a minute for more spontaneous guests. Either way, soft bed linens, cosy pillows, a blanket or an extra throw make the bed as comfortable as it looks. As for that extra throw, it can be used to make any day-bed look great as well, with or without guests.
