I do mostly but sometimes don't. Which camp are you in?
I am the only person in my house who makes my bed. Maybe old habits die hard. It started with my basic training in the Air Force and stuck from then on. Reveille blew... you put your boots on (slept in my PT uni), made the bed and rushed to brush your teeth to make roll call.
Being a home stager I know a beautifully made bed really livens and sells a master bedroom no matter how old and crummy a house may be. A lot of bang for little $$$. It need not be over the top with tons of comforters and pillows (I do like that though) but just inviting enough.
I am not really down with the trend of staging a messy bed. If it's not done right it just looks...well messy! I will stray just a little like with this one way back in February but that's as messy as I get if you want to call it that. Sometimes I miss a wrinkle or two...hate that!
We use real beds in all our bedroom stagings. I have seen staging pictures of beds constructed on bins that show in photos. I get it's cost saving but it just never looks quite right to me. Air beds drain and I don't want to chance running back and forth pumping up beds and neither do my clients. Buyers sometimes sit on beds too, why chance it all crashing down or distract them with signage that says please don't sit on the bed? The bedding never seems to hang quite right either without a ton of fuss and time is money as they say:)
Anyway which ever camp you are in I thought this article on Houzz was fun. So enjoy your holidays and If you're like me we all just may leave the bed unmade on Christmas day. Happy New Year.
