Let’s talk Layering Pillows

Pillows are very essential when layering your bed as they will add style, color, dimension, volume and comfort.

The number of pillows will depend on the appearance you are trying to achieve. As a “rule” though, you will need certain types of pillows. You will need Euro pillows, normal sleeping pillows, shams and lumbar pillows.

Here’s how…

*Prop your Euro shams against the headboard
*Place your standard shams in front of the Euros
*Then your bed pillows in front of the shams.

For the decorative pillows:
Start layering forward and toward the middle.

PS: Depending on your preference, you can precisely prop them up for a simple, elegant look or pile them on a little more randomly for a cozy, relaxed appearance.
