Anyone can choose the perfect pillows for their sofas and beds. Before you make your selection, consider how these factors will impact the way you enjoy your pillows.
Know Whether You Want Functional or Decorative Pillows
Some pillows look great, but they aren’t very functional. If you plan to use the pillows for comfort, then make sure you explore your options to find options that feel good to you. If you only want to use the pillows for decoration, then you don’t have to worry about how they feel. Just focus on their aesthetics.
Know Whether You Prefer Firm or Soft Pillows
Assuming that you want some functionality from the pillows, you need to know whether you prefer firm or soft designs. This often depends on the material stuffed inside the pillow. If you don’t know what firmness you prefer, go to a home supply store that sells a lot of pillows. This will allow you to experience a wide range of firmness options.
Consider How the Pillows Will Look in the Room
There are a lot of ways to incorporate decorative sofa and bed pillows into a room. You can choose pillows with bold designs that stand out as their decorations. You can choose pillows that match your bed or sofa, making the furniture seem more prevalent in the room. You can also choose colors that will bring out other elements in the room, such as the wallpaper or carpet. Any of these approaches can work well, but you should make a conscious decision so you know what kind of fabrics to look for.
Test the Pillows in Your Home
There’s only one way to know which pillow is perfect for your sofa or bed: you have to experience it in the room. Yes, you can make inspired decisions in the store, but you never know exactly what the pillows will look like until you put them in your home. Choose several of your favorite options so you can test them at home. After you have chosen the perfect pillow, exchange the other designs that didn’t pass your test. Headboards don’t have to just sit there at the top of your bed. Innovative headboard ideas can add function as well as aesthetics to your bedroom. Try some of these cool ideas to jumpstart your decorating process.
Make a Bookshelf Headboard
When you learn to decorate and make your headboard functional, you can find all kinds of interesting ways to use the space. Avid readers might want to make a headboard that keeps their favorite books within reach. You can either make them with multiple shelves or one shelf that lets you stack books. Suddenly, you have a headboard made of books. That’s pretty cool for those who love reading.
Just Paint the Wall
Your bed doesn’t need a headboard. So why not just paint an image on the wall where you would traditionally put a piece of wood? Decorating your bedroom in this way takes a space that’s usually boring and allows you to make it special. If you’re not great at painting, you can buy stencils that will make the job much easier. Just find a pattern you like and set aside a few hours to decorate your room.
Use Recycled Materials
Now, this doesn’t mean that you should start pulling things out of the trash to make your headboard (although a headboard made of squashed aluminum cans could look great if done right). You can “recycle” nearly anything. If you have old pillows that are starting to look worn, wrap them in new fabric and hang them above your bed in place of a headboard. You can also use quilts, mounted logs (make sure they’re clean!), and even old books. Feel free to get creating when decorating your headboard. It’s your room after all. As long as you like it, that’s all that matters.
