While you may want to skip putting chocolate on a pillow, the same effect can be had with a flower, a decorative pillow or even a personalized note.
Things You Will Need
-
Pull the bedspread to the bottom of the bed. Fold it neatly across the bottom. If the bed is covered in a duvet, fold it to the halfway point of the bed.
-
Grab the upper corner of the sheets and blankets. Fold them in a triangular fashion toward the center of the bed. This creates a spot for the person using the bed to get into the covers. If you are turning back both sides of a double bed, the folded-back triangles should meet in the middle.
-
Fluff the pillows. If you have more than one pillow on each side of the bed, stack them decoratively in an attractive fashion.
-
Place any desired amenity on the folded part of the sheet. This might include a robe, slippers, a cut flower or even the traditional mint. For a guest in your home, you may want to consider placing a personalized note or card.
-
Turn down the lights. If you have a dimmer switch, dim the lights to a low setting. Turn off any bright lights and leave on just a soft light.
