How Many Throw Pillows Is Too Many?

What fun it is to change out your bedding and coordinate pillows to refresh a space on a budget! There is no right or wrong way to style a bed—it’s a matter of preference. My hubby’s preference? 0 pillows. Mine? 100. We compromised and landed on 4.

I recently changed our bed from a queen to a king after 33 years of marriage and I realized in order to make my king bed look more complete…more pillows (sorry honey!). That doesn’t mean you need to spend a fortune. If you’re on a budget, I would suggest a lumbar pillow. Minimalism is on-trend right now, and a single lumbar pillow is a great way to make your bed look sophisticated and complete while avoiding breaking the bank.

It’s OK to go with your design gut! You’re the one living in your house every day.

Here’s a few beds I’ve styled recently pulling from many different vendors at different price points.

If you’re looking for high-end, unique pillows that are one-of-a-kind, my favorite place to shop is Citizenry (check out this one!).

If you're on a budget, my favorite Etsy seller (ElleSEAshoppe) has very affordable, beautiful pillows!

Have fun—there are so many great resources to choose from. And if you’re feeling stuck, I would be happy to help!
