How to Change a Duvet Cover: 11 Steps
Changing a duvet cover can be a bit of a challenge, but with the right technique and a little practice, you can transform your bed into an inviting, cozy space. Follow these 11 steps to change your duvet cover with ease.
1. Gather Your Supplies: You will need your clean duvet cover, duvet, and any pillows or shams that go with it.
2. Remove the Old Duvet Cover: Unbutton or unzip the duvet cover, then gently pull it off of the duvet.
3. Shake Out The Duvet: Give your duvet a good shake to distribute the filling evenly and remove any wrinkles. This will ensure that it lays nicely beneath the new cover.
4. Lay Out The Duvet Cover: Place the new duvet cover on a flat surface with the opening at the foot of your bed. Make sure all buttons or zippers are undone.
5. Match Corners: Hold the top two corners of the duvet together and insert them into the top two corners of the duvet cover.
6. Hold On Tight: Keep holding onto the corners while lifting and shaking out both the duvet and its cover until they are fully aligned.
7. Roll It Up: Starting at the head of your bed, roll up both the duvet and its cover together into a long tube-like shape.
8. Fasten The Cover: Once rolled up, zip or button up the bottom of your duvet cover.
9. Unroll The Bundle: Stand at one end of your rolled bundle (either side is fine) and carefully begin unrolling it towards the other end. Smooth out any wrinkles along the way.
10. Adjust Your Duvet: Make sure that all edges of your duvet are aligned with its respective cover’s edges – paying extra attention to corners – for a neat and tidy look.
11. Replace Pillows and Shams: Finally, put your pillows and shams back onto your bed to complete the look.
Changing your duvet cover doesn’t have to be a hassle. With these 11 simple steps, you can have a freshly-made bed in no time. Plus, as you get more practiced at this technique, it will become quicker and easier – making the process less daunting for all future duvet cover changes.
