Pillow panache

Fluff things up with a decorative pillow

  • Housetrends
Orange you glad the designer chose this vibrant color to add a positive punch to this master suite?

Beautiful beds find their way into many Housetrends articles. Typically, it’s the master suite that is all dressed up and ready to go for a photo shoot, but occasionally a guest room or kid’s room lures us in with enough charm to warrant that same fluffy attention.

Any pre-teen princess would be thrilled to claim this sparklingly sophisticated space.

Add a throw, quilt or extra blanket across the foot of the bed for that perfectly polished crowning touch.

Whether you’re getting ready for a photo shoot, weekend company, or just wanting to start the day off on the right foot, here’s an insider’s tip you can use to get your own bed ready for its close-up: It’s mostly about the pillows.

If you’re going the full Monty, they should be layered in this order: Sleeping pillows, European shams, regular shams, throw pillows—rectangular or square—and finally a rounded bolster.

Add a throw, quilt or extra blanket across the foot of the bed for that perfectly polished crowning touch.

Here’s a bit of inspiration we found at this year’s HOMEARAMA®.

Team up all kinds of textures, as shown with this example that combines a beaded accent piece along with shams covered in a fun faux fur.

One pop of accent color draws the eye to the center of this room just about as much as the view out the window.
