Accessorize Your Bed With A Pillow Sham

If you need extra pillows for your bed to sleep comfortably, but hate having them sitting around the room looking messy during the day, you may want to consider using a pillow sham. A pillow sham is designed to be a decorative addition to your bed while holding a standard bed pillow.

You can shop for a pillow sham that is ideal for any decorating style, from country to modern. Pillow shams can come in simple bold designs or charming patchwork designs. You can even use lace or toile shams to add a touch of romance to the bedroom. If you can't find a sham that matches your current bedding, look for a sham in a contrasting color to add excitement or shop for a sham in a coordinating color to give the room a finished appearance.

Before you choose a pillow sham, you may want to look for a sham with a quilted cover for added texture and softness. Also, if you want your sham to enhance the room's décor, be sure that the sham has an opening in the back instead of on the side, since side opening shams are sometimes a bit messy looking.

If you are having trouble choosing just one pillow sham, why not use several shams and layer them on your bed? In fact, if you use enough shams, you can even turn your bed into a day bed.
