Do you make the bed every day?

Yes! Our bed is made every day, but I am not the one who actually makes it most of the time. DH is a super neat-freak and makes the bed each morning -- complete with artistic throw pillow arrangement! I help make the bed on the weekends. Something so simple as a neat bed makes everything in the room feel more organized (and we are always ready for unexpected company!) It literally only takes us three to five minutes to make the bed, so why not do it? After a while it just becomes part of the morning routine. I must admit, though, I HATE changing sheets!!! -- Nest Lori

No!I'm the first to get up in the morning and my DH is still asleep by the time I leave the house. If the duvet on the bed is straightened, it's a good day. Even on the weekends we don't bother to make the bed. No one but us ever goes in there, and it's just going to be un-made when we go to sleep at night, so I guess we just figure why bother! I think the only time we ever make the bed is when we're having guests over who haven't seen our house yet, because we know we'll be showing them that room. We're getting all new bedding soon as part of our bedroom makeover... and I just know that we'll start making the bed for a while, but pretty soon we'll fall into our old habits! I keep browsing the gorgeous photos in our brand new searchable Decor Ideas Galleries for inspiration and motivation to make our bed more often. -- Knot Heather

re: Do you make the bed every day?

Every single morning! I won't leave the house till I make the bed. And the mornings that I'm rushing to get out the door, I ask DH and if he's yet to make it before I leave, I just do it! I'm a super super big neat freak and love e/thing to be tiddy and in its place.  At anytime we're always ready for a quest to stop by unexpectedly (even though this NEVER happens.)

I agree with Lori that a made bed makes a room feel more organized, however we rarely do it. Sometimes DH will neaten it up before we go to bed because we're weird sleepers and the covers get all tossed around and it's easier to start with the blanket even and fight from there. ;)

Our bedroom is so tiny that we've kind of given up on it. Check out that link to see how small it is. It's not much wider or deeper than what's shown in the picture.

I never make the bed unless company is coming.  It isn't that it takes a long time, but I know it will just get unmade that night!  Plus, DH would never make the bed and I don't really want to get stuck with the job.

re: Do you make the bed every day?

I tried...I really tried to keep making the bed every morning.  But my DH is a teacher and is always gone before me, so by the time I get out of bed(which is later and later every day). I used to do it religiously every morning before we got married( I love getting INTO bed and it is so much better when the duvet is all tidy).  But now, I can't be bothered.  Sometimes on the weekend, when company comes.  But usually it's a mad dash upstairs to do it quickly before DH starts the tour!
