Throw Pillows For The Bed

Throw pillows for the bed give your bedroom a pulled-together feel without changing your whole bedding setup. Start with your comforter, quilt or duvet cover, and choose pillow colors that pick up one or two shades already in the room. For a farmhouse bedroom, soft neutrals, earthy tones and simple checks can keep the look easygoing, while a brighter accent pillow can add a little personality to solid bedding. Keep the size of your bed in mind as you plan your arrangement. A twin bed may only need one or two accent pillows, while a queen or king bed has more room for a layered look. Place larger pillows behind smaller ones so each shape stays visible, and leave enough space for your bedding to show through. The goal is a bed that looks inviting, not one that takes a whole chore’s worth of clearing off every night. A practical bed pillow arrangement starts with your sleeping pillows at the head of the bed, followed by a small group of throw pillows in front. Try a pair of square pillows for balance, then add a rectangular lumbar pillow in the middle to break up the shapes. If your quilt has a busy pattern, solid-colored bedroom throw pillows can help settle the look; if your bedding is plain, a patterned accent can give it more interest. Think about everyday upkeep, too, especially if pets hop onto the bed or your pillows often end up on the floor. Read each pillow’s care label before cleaning, since covers and inserts may have different care requirements. A bedside basket or bench gives extra pillows a place to land at bedtime. Keep the arrangement simple enough to reset in the morning, and you’ll have a welcoming bed without adding much to your daily routine.
