Easy Bedroom Update For A Big Impact
Want to to do a easy bedroom update for a big impact without breaking the bank? I did just that! I took my plain old bed and added a bunch of pillows in different textures all in the same color. It’s a total transformation!
Easy Bedroom Update For Big Transformation.
I am always trying to budget when it comes to decorating my home. I look for the best way to make the biggest impact for the least amount of money.
How To Make The Most Impact In your Bedroom
Start with a naked bed. Color tends to make a bold statement but for me I felt that color would stick out like a sore thumb. The reason being is that i have alot of white going on along with a fewe accents. I wanted to keep everything a neustral color but make a statement. That is why I went with assorted textured pillows.
I started arranging Euro pillows or you can use regular sleeping pillows. These serve as the anchor for your entire pillow setup. Once you’ve positioned these main pillows, layer in your Queen-sized pillows. These slightly smaller pillows to the arrangement. After placing the Queen-sized pillows, continue to introduce smaller decorative pillows. Play around with different shapes and sizes to achieve a balanced and inviting look.
I personally chose to mix an assortment of pillows, ranging from soft linens to knitted pillow.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with textures and placements until you find just whats right for your space. I am constantly rearranging the pillows and its makes it fun.
Pillows I used For My Bed
Euro Pillow : A Euro pillow is a large, square pillow, typically measuring 26×26 inches, often used for decorative purposes on beds or sofas.
Queen Pillow: A queen pillow usually just means a pillow sized to fit a queen bed it’s longer than a standard pillow but shorter than a king
Boucle Pillow: A bouclé pillow is a decorative pillow covered in bouclé fabrica textured, looped-yarn textile that looks soft, cozy, and slightly nubby.
Shag Pillow: another Textured pillow but very long furry stands.
Throw: I choose to use a large thestured or knitted throw to give my bed a statement. A small throw will not achieve that.
Why Use Multiple Pillows to make Update a Bedroom:
- Its cheape than getting a new bedroom set.
- You are creating a visual effect with multplie pillows.
- Using Beige for my bedroom was the right call. If i were to use color than i would have to buy other pieces that would balance out the room. Since I had the beige things going no need to purchase much more.

I love the inspiration photos you shared today and can’t wait to see how it all unfolds! Those slip covered chairs are perfect and are such a blank canvas!
Hi Maria,
I can’t wait to see how your bedding turns out. I was thinking about doing something similar for curtains but ended up purchasing a white scarf valance. The dresser is gorgeous and the chairs too. I would want this room for myself.
Have a great weekend,
Patti

I am such a fan of bold, bright, blue… so those pillows would be something I’d choose for myself! Can’t go wrong with blue and white in any room..
Thanks Eliesa, such a pretty name! Have a great weekend! Maria
I think the tie-dye is a fabulous idea and the few other places I’ve seen it… it has been very striking. You made a great choice and I bet your son will LOVE it!! Good luck with the dyeing process.
Thanks Diane, did my first test today and the color was a bit light will add more color tomorrow.
Maria
I love those two little chairs! With a bold pillow or throw rug in front of them, they will really pop!
Thanks Natale! Yes Im hoping to find some pillows and throw in my own closet that will match my blue and white theme! need to keep budget under $100.
Maria
Love those chairs!!!! I have one like it. What a score!
I love cottage style and adore those chairs. I think they’ll be gorgeous with the Shibora pillows!
Yes, I was thinking that, hopefully I get Indigo dye soon, i ised the wrong dye for the throw but it came out pretty good.
Maria
The sitting corner is going to be awesome. We have 2 accent chairs placed next to our fireplace and it’s my favorite place in the house.
I love the sitting area too, we were lucky we changed the plans on this home to add a little more square feet to this room for very little price.
Maria
All your inspiration photos are amazing! I love the shutters on the windows, so classic!
Thank so much for stopping by.
Maria
Great inspirations, can’t wait to see it all together!
Thanks for stopping by, I truly appreciate it. Have a great week.
Maria
It looks great! I love the chairs. I can’t wait to see it all come together.
Thanks, it was a nice surprise to rescue them before my daughter was getting rid of them. All she had to do was wash the slipcovers! But I guess she is looking for another look for her nursery.
Maria
I love those two chairs! I like simple furniture accents like that, then you can layer in with color and patterns with other items. I am excited to see this room all done!
Thanks Emily, its getting stressful waiting for stuff to finish this project, hopefully it all comes this week.
Maria
What a score on those chairs! And I love the idea of moving the bureau. Outside of paint, I think rearranging furniture is such a game-changer in a room. Looking forward to seeing how the bedding comes together.
Thanks Erin, its been a fun challenge! Its great to re-use other pieces from different part of the house, helps keeps the costs down.
Maria
Those chairs are great! And free! That’s awesome!
