How To Arrange King Size Bed Pillows

My new way of room decorating and how to arrange king size bed pillows in mini-maxi style!

Have you ever wanted to change up a space instantly? My bedroom is one of those spaces that I constantly want to change, but never actually do it. I’ve spent so much time updating and decorating the first floor of the house, that one of the most important rooms gets neglected. Having a space to retreat and relax to is the most important space you can ever create. Unfortunately, I hadn’t touched my master bedroom……ever. This was partially due to the mess that was in my room and not finding the right decor at an affordable cost.

I was beginning my day earlier this week. Getting a load of laundry done, tidying up the breakfast table, making beds you know the morning routine. I was straightening out my old, faded comforter stained by baby oil from the times we used to dress the kids as babies on top of our bed when I decided that enough was enough. I had put off this bedroom so long that I dreaded actually spending time in it other than to sleep. I dread spending time in there so much that I had 3 baskets of folded laundry just sitting at the end of my bed, because I didn’t want to spend the time to actually put it away. I remembered what I had told my eldest daughter in college just the night before, the only way out of a problem is through. That’s when I really decided to just go for it. I’d wanted a new bedroom look for so long and decided to create it in less than a day, well more like 6 hours since that’s how long the kids would be in school.

Task numero uno…..the bed itself! Our king size bed takes up the majority of the room as you can guess. So, I needed a look that would be light and airy, but still speak to my love of color. I headed to Target that morning and spent about 2 hours choosing the items for the room. I’ll be sharing the full before and after looks on my Youtube channel this weekend.

Plus, you get a peak of the room. 🙂

How To Arrange King Size Bed Pillows

If you give a maximalist a pillow, then she’ll want to get more pillows….

I’m far from being a minimalist, but my husband is all for minimalism. When it came to decorating the bedroom, I wanted him to also feel like it was a retreat and a place for serenity as well. So, I definitely calmed my inner maximalist for this bed design. I decided to design a compromise that would give my husband the clean, crisp looks he loves with my love of maxi patterns and colors. A maximum minimalist or maxi-mini style! I could have put way more pillows are on our bed, but let’s also be honest that only 1 person typically puts the pillows back on the bed and I don’t have time for all that in the morning!

To decorate the bed, I started with 3 vibrant yellow 24″x24″ size sham pillows. These bright beauties have a pleating detail that creates a pattern without overwhelming the bed with patterns. Be sure to use at least 3 pillows for your bed. Anything less can make your bed look disproportionate. Your next set of pillows can be one of two options. You can add another set of King pillow shams (this is the set that typically comes with the comforter set) or add your 2 king size bed pillows that come with the sheet set. I decided to go with the latter to uphold my maxi-mini style compromise. I love how the yellow fleur de lis design on the sheet set coordinates with the vibrant yellow pillows.

Finish up the bed with an assortment of toss pillows. I shopped my house for these toss pillows which complement the yellow and teal accents on the bed. The teal color is repeated on the new macrame edge blanket from the new Opalhouse line at Target. Oh, I didn’t mention that I also used a white comforter I found in the clearance section at Target. It was only$52.00!!! That may seem expensive for just a comforter, but King size comforters can start at $200. This white comforter is from Target’s luxury Fieldcrest line and is super comfortable and warm.

What do you think of the colors? The toss pillows give me the opportunity to incorporate the patterns I like to see without going too crazy with in your face patterns. Would you consider yourself a minamalist or maximalist bed decor person? Stay tuned for the room makeover video and I hope you start taking control of your home and creating the spaces you’ve always wanted as well.
