How to properly place a bedspread and decorative pillows on a bed to decorate this functional element of the interior? How many decorative pillows are appropriate to place? How not to “overdo it” with decorative bedspreads and pillows on the bed? What pillow size is best? Is it worth covering the bed linen, and in particular the blanket, with a decorative bedspread? All these issues need to be considered when decorating your bedroom. Obviously, the answers to the above questions depend on the style of the bedroom and your personal aesthetic preferences. But here are a few simple principles to keep in mind.
With a blanket instead of a bedspread
There is no need to hide bed linen if it looks good! A blanket with a smart duvet cover can easily pass for a bedspread. You will achieve a special effect if you lay the product from two types of fabric: the upper part is decorative and will decorate the bedroom.
The bottom can be shown off slightly by folding back the top of the blanket. If the linen is linen, you don’t need to iron it carefully: slightly wrinkled plain fabric is at the height of fashion today and fits perfectly into Scandinavian and eco-style.
This is a convenient option for those who are used to saving time. Just make a couple of moves and the bed is fine.
Tip #2:
- From big to small, back to front
This simple rule ensures that the selection of fabrics and colors for decorative bedspreads and pillows is very important. A bedroom decorated in the same style will be elegant, and if you use pillows of different colors and textures, you can highlight the details. Anything that has an unusual fabric, texture or pattern is brought forward. Typically, such decorative elements will not be large. A win-win is to leave a neutral background, especially if the head of the bed is also active.
Tip #4:
- Play with colors and patterns for a casual look
Simple, clean white bed linen harmonizes well with a patterned decorative bedspread, representing a real work of art. In this modern room, the palette is kept simple, with grays and whites coordinated with bright pops of color.
Tip #1:
- All components of a well-equipped bed must perform their functions
In the photo you can see all the important components: decorative pillows, bedspread and blanket. Throw pillows can also be used to provide extra support while sitting up and reading in bed. They can be used instead of night pillows during the daytime to ensure they don't get dirty. The bedspread is usually lighter weight than a blanket that is used on a regular basis. The blanket will be used for cooler nights.
Tip #8:
- Use decorative pillows to tie the interior together

Here's another example of a simple palette of taupes and whites with a little pop of brightness. The printed walls behind the bed are matched with pillows made from the same fabric, resulting in a completely cohesive environment.
Tip #9:
- If you want to introduce a lot of throw pillows, use a limited palette so as not to overwhelm the room.
In this contemporary setting, tonal variations in gray create a complex palette. Even with nine pillows, a duvet cover and a bedspread, the interior does not look cluttered.
Tip #6:
- Choose a decorative bedspread with the perfect cut
It is best to describe the interior in the photo as a simple, elegant and personal mini-lesson for all of us. The subtle stripes on the bedspread and upholstered headboard create a luxurious and cozy environment in the space. However, a decorative faux fur pillow adds a little fantasy and clashes with the “smoothness” of the rest of the decor.
