Holiday Pillow Shams
Finish the holiday bed with pillow shams that bring color and texture all the way to the headboard. Layer solid voile, velvet, and flannel alongside patterned Christmas bedding, or bring in a classic plaid for a little more holiday spirit.
Holiday Pillow Shams for the Finishing Flourish
Think of holiday pillow shams as the ornaments of the bed. Pair jewel-toned velvet shams with patterned Christmas bedding, let classic plaid peek out among subtler layers, or mix voile and flannel in complementary colors. The shams don’t all have to match. Look for colors and textures that speak to one another and pull the whole bed together.
Fabric brings another dimension to the mix. Velvet adds richness and depth, voile keeps the look lighter, and flannel brings soft warmth when winter nights settle in. Prop your shams behind everyday sleeping pillows for a finished arrangement, or layer different sizes to build more height at the head of the bed. When the decorating is done and it’s time for bed, simply set them aside.
