You’ve put a lot of work into getting your bedroom to look and feel just right. It’s comfortable, cozy, and inviting, but is it really complete? Maybe you’re noticing that it’s not quite what you want it to be, but you don’t want to go back to the drawing board and start over. Essentially, you’re at a crossroads, if you will, with your bedroom, and you need a little push in the right direction to achieve the ideal look. Look no further than decorative throw pillows for the bed to tie the room together and get the feeling of completion you’re after.
Using Throw Pillows to Change the Feel of the Bedroom
What makes using throw pillows such a great idea is the fact that they don’t have to stay there forever. You can change them out to match your room, highlight the season, or create a color counterpoint to the dominant color in the room. Don’t overlook using a pillow with an unusual print even if it doesn’t seem to blend in with the rest of your decor. And if you’re running out of ideas, there’s always social media sites like Instagram, where countless numbers of people are sharing how they use bedroom throw pillows.
Pick Different Pillow Sizes
Bedroom throw pillows range in size from 18 to 24 inches, but don’t restrict yourself to these two sizes. Using and arranging pillows in a wide range of sizes breaks up the visual lines of the room and generates interest for the viewer. Consider getting pillows in colors that match the least dominant colors of your bedroom or a color in your curtains. This may cause a bit of difficulty when trying to figure out your throw pillows storage as they won’t fit in the same container, but it’s a small consideration when compared to the benefit of adding color to the room.
Create Interest With Textures and Prints
The bedroom is a place that’s supposed to be inviting, comfortable, and relaxing. Decorative bed pillows can help achieve this feeling through the use of soft textures mixed with gentle prints and complimentary colors. Use your best judgment when selecting prints and textures as it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. For example, bedroom throw pillows can feature faux fur on one side but that fur can sometimes overwhelm. Add in a print to draw the eye from the pillow and surround the rest with subtle colors to balance everything out.
Don’t Let the Pillows Overwhelm the Bedroom
You want the pillows to add to the room by giving it color, texture, and “flavor,” but it’s easy to go overboard because there are so many kinds of pillows out there. Make sure the pillows you pick won’t be the only thing you see when you walk into the room. Look at each pillow with a critical eye and examine how it will look in the room and with other pillows. If it feels like the pillow will be too much, put it back and find one that works.
