Glossary:
- Euro Pillows – 65x65cm, great for adding more height to your bed, doubling up as extra back support for when you want to sit up straight
- Standard Pillows – 48x73cm, perfect for sleeping, standard pillowcases usually match the doona cover (purchased as a quilt cover set)
- “Choppy” cushions – feather-filled cushions available in various shapes and sizes, mouldable shape allowing us to create a visual “chop”, generally more expensive than standard cushions, used for decorative purposes to make the bed look more plush
- Standard Cushions – polyester-filled cushions available in various shapes and sizes, used for decorative purposes
- Oblong Cushions – polyester or feather-filled cushions in an oblong shape, usually placed at the front of the cushions because of their smaller size, creating a visual triangle
- Coverlet – a large blanket designed to sit on top of the doona cover to enhance the look of the bed
- Throw – a smaller blanket that comes in all types of different materials and sizes, usually styled draped over the corner of the bed, or tucked underneath the doona fold

The styling of a bedroom has a simple formula to follow. To make it easier for you to replicate the look in your home, we have visually separated the bed into three sections – Top, Accent and Bottom.

Foxy Stylist’s Tips:
- Use white linen. Nothing looks better on a bed than a set of crisp, bright, white bed sheets! Add the colour across your cushions and throws, but the keep the foundation white.
- Colour-match the bedding with your artwork. This creates a beautiful, cohesive look and ties the entire room together, an absolute game changer!
- Struggling to find the right side of your fitted sheet? Look out for the tag inside, 99% of the time the tag inside the sheet goes on the bottom right corner of your mattress.
- Position your cushions as upright as possible to create a luxe look.
