One of the key components in styling your bed is pillows. The right pillow arrangement can take your bed from ordinary to luxurious. Whether you love a minimalist aesthetic or a plush, hotel-like feel, styling your bed with pillows is an easy way to elevate your space.
Begin with your sleeping pillows — these are the foundation. If you have a queen or king-size bed, two to four pillows work best. Use pillowcases that match your sheets for a cohesive look.
Place two or three Euro pillows against your headboard to add height and structure. Choose neutral tones for a serene feel or bold patterns for a statement.
Use two to three accent pillows at the front in different shapes, sizes, and textures. A lumbar pillow creates balance, while smaller square or round pillows add charm. Velvet, linen, or embroidered fabrics create visual interest.
For a classic look, stack pillows symmetrically. Prefer a relaxed, modern vibe? Go for an asymmetrical, casually layered style.
Remember, while pillows enhance your bed’s look, too many can feel cluttered. Stick with five to seven pillows for a well-balanced, inviting bed. And these rules are not set in stone – play around to find the look you love the best!
With these simple steps, you can create a dreamy, magazine-worthy bed perfect for rest and relaxation! Check out these other tips for styling your bed: Part 1 and Part 2.
