Budget bedroom updates

Switch Out Accent Pillows
Accent pillows let you quickly alter the personality of a room and shift the balance of colour. They're especially powerful used in a bedroom because the bed is a natural focal point. Pillows can update a room instantly by adding volume, pattern, texture, colour, and personality. Here, a subtle backdrop of cream and blue is brought into intense focus with a collection of lively pillows. Raspberry and sky-blue accent pillows pull the wall colour and accent colour together perfectly. Bold striped neckroll pillows add variety and interest to the grouping.
