This post was created from a real life moment. We were getting our room ready to shoot an update last week and I asked Andi, our Visual Media Producer, to give me a hand putting the duvet cover on. To which she said, “Tell me I don’t have to crawl inside. I ALWAYS crawl inside of mine.” We both started laughing hysterically because the image was too relatable. But no, no crawling inside for my method. I’ve also seen a few tutorials on how to put a duvet cover on and they all involved rolling it and I just never…grasped that. So no rolling here, either.
And the best part, it actually takes under 2 minutes, but we gave you an extra minute in the title in case you’re doing this by yourself–which you can totally do.
We made a short play-by-play (uncut!) video to show you in real time just how easy it is, but in case you want the play by play in text–read on.
- Lay the Duvet cover INSIDE OUT flat on your bed. (I like to have the opening at the top)
- Lay the Duvet insert flat directly on top of the cover.
- Tie each of the corners.
- From the open end, reach your arm inside and grasp the furthest inside corner (s).
- With a flick of the wrist, pull the far corners through the opening and lift up so the rest of the duvet falls straight.
- Ta-da! Your duvet is now together and right side out!
If you need more of a visual, I hope you’ll watch the short video above! It’s so easy that Andi made us take OFF the duvet so she could record a video of it on the spot. Haha.
And since you’re no longer frustrated by duvets (right?!) as a bonus, we rounded up a bunch of our favorite covers and inserts below! We currently #6 (king size–gray!) and the number 1 insert. But I’m seriously crushing on ALL of these.

OMG Julie, I never knew my duvet and cover had loops/ties at the corners until I watched this video!! LOL!
My duvet and cover have never looked so good and I did it by myself!
Thank you Julia and Chris!

The link isn’t working to the #1 down insert you listed. The link takes me to the target website but then says error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Wait, they make duvet covers with zippers instead of buttons??? Where has this technology been all my life?
Haha, yes!
Wait. Are there ties in my duvet covers??!!
There COULD be!!!!
Is there somewhere you are listing all the paints colors? :-)
You caught us! As these rooms come together, we’ll have source notes for each. For now, this bedroom is Sherwin Williams Alabaster. The trim is SSW Accessible Beige. Hope this helps, Mary!
