Do you remember the last time you were shopping at a home store and while passing through the linens you saw a made-up bed that you just wanted to crawl into? You wanted to go and buy every piece on that bed and take it home. You actually looked at the price it would cost to buy everything and then sadly walked on. Stop! I have to tell you something! It ‘s the decorative pillows that are essential!

You will never go to a furniture store and see a bed without decorative pillows. It’s like seeing a plant without a pot, or a window without curtains. Decorative pillows are like oatmeal cookies without raisins! It’s no wonder why those model homes look so nice. They all have decorative pillows!

Pillows come in a fabulous array of styles and patterns, textures, colors and shapes. They can come with fringe, beads, sequins or tassels. They can be plain, striped, floral or a million other designs. They are a reflection of you, because you decide which decorative pillows to choose.

Decorative pillows really help set the theme of a room. They can be the focal point and the finishing touch that pulls everything together. They can almost talk. They can help soften a room or call attention to it. Most of all, those pillows are like little invitations to comfort.

To use decorative bed pillows properly, choose perhaps 2- 6 pillows in various sizes that will compliment your decor. Stack them with the largest pillows in the back. Ideally, the back layer of pillows should be European (Large pillows) that are placed against the headboard or wall. If your bed is a King, you may want to use 4 euros. Next, use your regular nightly pillows to stack against the euros. The third layer if for your decorative pillow collection. Typically, the fourth layer is optional, and the ideal place to but bolster or lumbar pillows.

Next thing you know, your bed has just been transformed into an inviting retreat that will beckon you with charm like the sirens did to Ulysses. Your bed will suddenly look as if it popped right out of a magazine! And guess what? It was all because of the decorative bed pillows!
