Cotton Shams

Dress up Your Bed with Cotton Shams

Complete your bedroom’s focal point with a pair of cotton shams. In the master suite, a set that coordinates with the bedspread provides a streamlined approach—whether you opt for a sleek neutral hue or a bold one instead. Alternatively, consider making a statement with a fabric in solid colors that incorporates an engaging quilted or woven texture. Either way, settle the cotton shams against the headboard along with standard pillowcases and decorative throws in shades that complement the room's color scheme. Rely on an ottoman or bench at the foot of the bed to act as storage for ornamental pillows while you sleep. During the cooler months, consider also draping a folded blanket over the foot of the bed to complete the look.
