How to make the perfect bed

We speak with one of the most stylish and hard working couples to ever take on The Block, Ronnie and Georgia,we get their top tips for making your bed Block-Worthy this winter.

When it comes to styling a room, no one does it better than Georgia, who’s had the judges oohing and aahing over several series now, thanks to her clean lines, simple colour palettes and a keen eye for design. But there’s one area, in particular, she’s got nailed - the making of beds!

In fact, in thirteen series of The Block, we’ve never heard such high praise from judges, Shaynna, Neale and Darren.

Ronnie and Georgia are the proud producers of this amazing room, still to this day The Block's most successful bedroom featured on The Block 2021. In a Block Shop first, we had a customer request EVERY SINGLE ITEM, yes that's right they purchased every piece from this stylish space.

So, what’s Georgia's secret?

“The secret here is - wait for it - you have two doonas in one doona cover,” she laughs.

“It makes it extra fluffy. I also like to use a contrasting sheet, then a comforter and a throw. And of course, the layering of cushions.”

While Georgia is happy to take credit for her skills in the bedroom, Ronnie is quick to point out it’s not all down to her manchester magic.

“The first thing people do when they buy sheets is to throw out the packaging,” he says. “But a lot of thought has been put into that. Georgia just copies what they have done!”

Aha - the secret’s out!

The only other trick the couple will admit to is upsizing their doona and quilt cover.

“That means, if you have a Queen-size bed, put a King on it. And if it’s a King, opt for a Super King. It just ends up looking heaps better,” Georgia says. “And you don’t end up getting too cold in the night.

In a Block first in 2022, The Block Host and uh-hum may we say it Block Royalty, Scott Cam, and his trusty side kick Frankie, took on their own build alongside the couples. Whilst Scott and the boys got stuck into the build he was lucky enough to have our Block Shop Super styler and all round super human, super boss, Sarah Armstrong to assist him with styling. 

Sarah pictured above with Scott Cam and his build team, and some of the incredible beds she styled in 2022 The Block Treechange at Camalot. 

Sarah also shared with the Block Shop the key to a full luxe bed is definately the double doona method, as Georgia suggests. "We used two of the Royal Comfort Bamboo quilts in each of the rooms for a really soft luxurious feel at Scott's place"
