How to Style Your Holiday Pillows
Now that you’ve decided what type of holiday pillows to use, I’ll give you some tips on how to style the pillows based on specific rooms. Let’s start with the living room.
Living Room
I just love snuggling on my sofa with a bunch of pillows and a cup of hot cocoa in my hand while I watch the holiday classics!
Use the layering technique when styling your sofa and sectional with holiday pillows. I don’t like to use any more than five pillows on a sofa. In regards to sectionals, feel free to use more based on the size of your sectional.
I like to use the 2-2-1 method when layering holiday pillows.
Start with two neutral pillows, then add two pillows on top that have more visual interest such as a plaid pillow or bold pattern. Finally, add a pillow in the center with a winter scene or a festive saying.
Living Room Floor
Another fun option for your living room is to create a pile of pillows on the floor. This works best if you have a comfy rug or carpet. I like to make a pile of pillows in front of the fireplace and cozy up with warm throw blanket!
Bedroom
The more pillows the merrier when styling your bed! Find a couple of festive holiday pillows and add them to your bed using the layering technique outlined above in the living room section. I recommend going with plush pillows for the bedroom to give it a warm and cozy feel!
Accent Chairs & Recliners
Don’t forget about your chairs and recliners when styling your holiday pillows! Try using two pillows on each chair or recliner. Use a neutral pillow in the back and then place a pillow with a bold pattern, festive saying or fun winter scene in the front. And here’s a bonus tip: add a comfy throw blanket for those cold winter nights!
Side Chair
Don’t forget about the Christmas and holiday cheer to the dining room. Dress up your extra side chairs with a holiday pillow that has a bold and festive saying.
Storage
You can never have enough comfy pillows in the winter, but that does lead to the question of where to store them all? I like to use a basket for my extra pillows in my living room. I place the basket in the corner of the room so it’s out of the way, but close enough to access when needed.
For bedrooms, maximize your space with a storage bed. You can use the built-in drawers on the bed to store your extra pillows. Another option is to utilize the space under your nightstand. My Montana Bedroom Set with nightstand includes a fun and functional wire basket that is a perfect place to keep an extra pillow.
A Tasty Treat!
Do you know what really hits the spot on a cold night? How about some toasty s’mores! Gather your friends and family for a fun night of s’mores. Here are some tips on how to create your own party-ready s’mores board.
