What are Euro Shams and what are they for?

This cushion is also known as Euro Pillow and its dimensions are generally 65cm x 65cm, but you can also find them in 60cm x 60cm, 55cm x 55cm, etc. It is a cushion very similar to a pillow since it is made up of the same filling as the pillow. The important thing here is that it is a larger size than the pillow so that it can stand out from the latter.

What should you consider when incorporating this element into your decoration?

1. They frame the bed

In the same way that the headboards serve to frame the bed, the euro shams do the same with the rest of the bed's decoration. They also add that volume that makes the bed look fuller.

2. They add color and contrast

Knowing how to combine colors will enhance the entire look of the bed. You can use euroshams to contrast or give that touch of color to a more neutral style. Here you can read more about color theory.

3. Textures

To give more interest and personality to the bed you can add euroshams with different textures. This type of decoration is ideal, for example, for a neutral style where there is a lot of beige or earth colors.

4. Design

You can choose some prints that complement the style of the rest of the bedding. For example, silhouette of flowers and plants, geometric lines, etc. The important thing here is that there is a theme that encompasses all the decoration of the bed.

5. You play with the shapes and quantity of cushions

In addition to this large format cushion you can add smaller cushions. The asymmetry makes the look as a whole look more interesting.

Now that you know this tip, it's time to implement it!
