Have you ever looked at pictures of beautifully arranged pillows on someone else's bed and wondered how they achieved that professional, magazine-worthy look? Well, wonder no more! We have the secret ingredient to transform your pillow routine and give your bedroom a whole new vibe.
The Power of Euro Shams
Euro shams are the secret to achieving a full and fluffier pillow look.
The key to achieving that perfect pillow look lies in using Euro-sized decorative pillows. Unlike standard-sized pillows, Euro shams are bigger and square-shaped, measuring 26x26. This larger size gives them a fuller and fluffier appearance that adds a touch of elegance to your bed. Euro shams are not only aesthetically pleasing but also serve a functional purpose. They can hide your sleeping pillows (the ones you actually use at night) and keep them neatly tucked behind the two big white Euro shams.
Finding the Right Arrangement
Euro shams add height to your bed, giving it a more polished look.
Once you hop on the Euro shams bandwagon, you can start experimenting with different arrangements to find the perfect look for your bedroom.
If you don't have a headboard, like Bridget with her gorgeous white planked wall, adding Euro pillows to the back of your bed can create an illusion of height and make it appear more visually appealing.
To create a symmetrical look, start with the big Euro pillows and then add your sleeping pillows. If your sleeping pillows have an interesting design or pattern, there's no need to hide them; they can add personality and dimension to your pillow arrangement.
Next, incorporate two decorative pillows, giving them a slight karate chop in the middle for a stylish touch. You can find unique decorative pillows at stores like HomeGoods to add flair to your bed.
To tie everything together, add a long textured pillow that brings both sides of the bed together. Now, step back and admire your beautifully arranged pillows - your bed has never looked better!
Tips for Pillow Arrangement
Here are a few tips we've learned from our pillow-poufing adventures:
- Use one Euro sham for a twin bed, two Euro shams for a Queen or Full-sized bed, and three Euro shams for a King-sized bed.
- You don't need dozens of throw pillows to create a well-made bed. Choose a number of pillows that fits your lifestyle and keep it simple.
- Instead of sticking to a matching set that comes with your comforter, incorporate other colors, textures, and patterns to add interest to your pillow display.
- If you want to use multiple decorative pillows, choose just a few colors to avoid overwhelming the bed.
- Odd numbers of pillows usually work best for a balanced look. Consider using sets of 3, 5, or 7 pillows.
- Don't forget about storage! When you sleep at night, you'll need a place to keep your gorgeous pillows. Line them up on a window sill or explore creative storage options, like Bridget's new piece of furniture in her boudoir!
Achieve a dreamy and fluffy bedroom with a well-arranged collection of Euro shams.
With these tips and the magic of Euro shams, you can transform your bed into a stunning focal point in your bedroom. Say goodbye to average, everyday pillows and hello to a stylish and inviting sleep sanctuary. Sweet dreams, friends!
