Stock Up on Extra Pillowcases For a Luxe Bed
When it comes to a well-styled bed and super-comfy bed, an abundance of pillows is essential. You'll want at least one pillow insert for the pillowcase or pillowcases that come with your sheet set, but there's no need to stop there. You can buy additional pillowcases in a matching or complementary pattern to plump up your sleeping space. You may also want to layer on some decorative pillows for added softness and texture.
The Details
To create the most luxurious bed possible, you'll want to think carefully about each layer of your bedding, beginning with your sheets. Pottery Barn Teen's collection of sheets includes something for everyone from floral sateen to crisp, striped cotton percale. A twin/twin XL sheet set will come with one pillowcase, and full, queen and king size sheets will come with two. Most of the sheet sets available at Pottery Barn Teen also give you the option of buying a set of two extra pillowcases. This, of course, allows you to add extra pillows to your bed in a matching color or print. If you want to try something a bit different and create a magazine-worthy bed, however, you also have the option of picking out pillowcases in a contrasting or complementary color or pattern.
Once you've selected your perfect sheets, you'll need to choose a comforter, quilt or duvet cover, which will come with a sham. Here too, you will be able to buy a set of two extra shams that will give you even more layering options. The next and final layer will come in throw pillows. With decorative pillows, you can really experiment with color, shape and texture. These pillows provide the finishing touch that makes your bed, and by extension, your bedroom, feel thoughtfully designed and uniquely personal.
