Decorative pillows are âridiculous and impractical.â HOWEVER, seeing them on my bed makes me happy. They tie together other elements in the room, making it feel cohesive and luxurious. I vote âyesâ on pillows đ
Hahaha I'm with you on this one. Every night I complain due to the many pillows on my bed but in the morning I love how my bed looks with all of them on. đ
I gave up the extra pillows and never looked back! The decorative ones would go on the floor at night then back next to the ones that we put our faces on in the morning. Minimal beds are where it's at for cleanliness and easy maintenance :)
Pillows have nothing to do with cleanliness- Iâm also not a minimalist- like a lot of others. I prefer the coziness of my clean pillows. If it works for you - good on ya/ but minimalism is not where itâs at for everyone.
I like that most of the people commented that they like pillows but this comment has almost 200 likes đ€Ł I have three pillows on my bed and none of them look pretty but I still find my bed very inviting.
I enjoyed your post, it brought back a memory. We had a foreign exchange student from Schleiden Germany for 10 months. We were showing him our home. He saw the extra pillows and said, âThis is an American home for sure. We do not have all those pillows.â
I used to be an "I must have decorative bed pillows, 6 deep" person. But, now I am a No to the clutter. Recently, I changed my mindset, thanks to watching you. You have changed my lifestyle. My home has been sooooo cluttered, with shistuff. I have been faithfully decluttering and reorganizing everything, from closets, cupboards, drawers, walls, pantry, craftroom (hubby calls it my craproom...) and even some of my beloved plants. The decorative pillows on the beds have become the latest victims. I offer stuff to family, then friends, some goes on the curb (gone within the hour). Final place is my local Goodwill donation drop-off, except for plants, I don't do faux plants. And Goodwill doesn't take real plants. It has been so liberating. I am slowly becoming happy and proud of my home, again. Thank you, Cas, for the help with your show and your CZcams channel!!! So, sorry, I am no longer the YES to decorative pillows on the bed.
@@CrazyCrafter821 ~ đđ€Łđđ€Łđ Your husband is a kind and wise Man!!!đ€ Happy Wife, happy life!đđ I like your husband's saying much better. Have an amazing weekend!
I LOVE your approach to "organize how your brain works". BINGO!!! Everyone one of us is unique and do things differently. So, if you know you do not like to fold clothes, do not set yourself up with a system that requires folding. It's a setup for failure. If you know you will kick your shoes off at the door, do not set yourself up with a shoe organizer that requires putting them away. Get a pretty basket by the door and kick your shoes off in there. Great ideas in this video! Love your channel!
Decorative pillows are clutter for me and I don't like to use the prettiest ones because I want to keep them pretty. So over the years I've decluttered all my pretty pillows and kept only the functional ones. It saves time in the morning and there's less mess on the floor at night.
Yes to this! All 6 of the pillows on our bed are functional (and pretty). I like having a bolster for reading in bed, and both hubby and I like a body pillow. I have solid neutral colors on the body pillows and, every day when I make the bed, I use them together with a couple functional decorative pillows that I use for reading. It makes the bed look nice and inviting. So for me, pillows need to be functional and attractive. Cas, your bedroom looks beautiful, peaceful, and inviting!
Iâm entirely too lazy to take pillows off the bed and put them back on. They look cute, but Iâm not going to do it. So Iâm kinda on Joeâs side. But I am 100% on your side on a garbage can. Tags on clothes, empty personal supplies (deodorant, lotion, etc.) are facts of life. I even have two garbage cans in my room, but to be fair, the one was added when I had to give a cat an ear cream using disposable gloves daily. I put a garbage can near there for convenience. (He slept on the bed so it was easiest to catch him there.)
My goodness, yes I forgot to agree on the garbage can issue when I commented on throw pillows :-). This might be a little ridiculous, but we have three trash cans in our bathroom, and two to three trash cans in our bedroom. Let me explain, lol I wouldn't say we have a massive ensuite, but it's not tiny. The thing is that we have two sinks in our master bathroom and then of course the toilet. And it's a very long skinny bathroom, so we each have a tiny trash can next to our sink and then there's one next to the toilet. And then there is a trash can on each side of the bed because...*blush* We have our dessert in secret at night in our room :-)
My husband hates decorative pillows. I love them! I conceded this point to him. No extra pillows on our bed. I know when to pick my battles and this wasn't that big of a deal to me.
I'm totally a pillow person! Sitting here with my 9+ pillows surrounding me. Love all the organizing tips. I'm new to the channel but so glad I found you. After years of struggling to wrangle the mess of myself, my husband, and 5 kids I'm ready to declutter and let go. You motivate me to get started loving my home. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
See, that's nice, but for me, i never just sit on my bed. I sleep in it for about five hours each night and i don't return until the next night. So, it's a waste for me.
I am a pillow person because it adds cozy layers and warmth. It is a hassle to tear down the bed at night and then make it all up again with all the pillows in the morning but it makes me feel happy.
I made my decorative pillows practical. Small 10" pillows covered in something soft and comfortable, like Minky, are perfect for tucking between your knees to support your back while lying on your side. I use another one to prop up my head just a bit more while reading in bed. I do have one decorative pillow covered in silk ribbon embroidery that no one would want to use, but it's oh-so pretty on my bed. :-)
Team no pillow here. It's clutter for me. I've donated brand new pillows that come in the comforter sets many many times. I have actually asked if I could get rid of the couch pillows before....so definitely team no pillows. Sorry Cass. đ
congratulations :) and in fact such channels inspire us to live our dreams ;) I have another dream job but decluttering organising help me to go for it :)
My hubby told me just the other day, if I ever need to go back to work I should definitely go into this occupation. I have been having so much fun decluttering and organizing our home. Thankfully/shamefully I am no where near done, 22 years of marriage, 2 kids and a lifetime of my grandmothers voice in my head to keep everything gave me a huge project to start off with.
@@cookfamily6141 you can do it!! When you're ready to help others, you've already got the foundation needed in your natural ability- not everyone can do it! I highly encourage you to take the next step when you're able to!! I only wish I had done it sooner. â€ïžđđŒđ
Iâm absolutely a decorative pillow person. Growing up, my bedroom was themed like Jeanieâs Bottle from I Dream of Jeanie and Princess Jasmineâs cage bedroom in Aladdin. In one corner I had a huge purple floor cushion packed with tons of decorative pillows of all kinds of sizes, patterns, styles. And covering the whole thing I had a gorgeous, embroidered burgundy bed tent. My favorite part of my room. When I moved away from that theme, I still kept a lot of those beautiful pillows. Over the years, though, Iâve donated or had to trash because an animal got to a pillow. Itâs sad to see them go, but itâs okay. Right now, I only have 3 of the 30 I started with. And I donât think Iâll ever give them up because they are just too sentimental and big bonus....they still match my new bedroom theme! I will say one thing... I donât understand the people who donât use the pillows as pillows. I mean, yes they are decorative but they are legitimate pillows. If you just want the decorative part, buy/make decorative pillow covers instead of the whole pillows and then you stuff the pillow covers with out of season clothes, old towels, plastic bags, whatever. And voila! A decorative pillow you wonât feel guilty about not actually using as a pillow.
My jaw dropped at the full length accessory storage mirror!! And, Itâs so true that the bedroom should be your oasis and safe place that is all yours- fortunately my husband feels the same way. Cheers to tackling the clutter one space at a timeâŁïž
My bedroom trash can is almost exclusively for tissues from blowing my nose. Doesn't need to be emptied often as there are no food particles for bugs to get into and it's a niche use, but it's nice to have it there for random things you wouldn't think of too, so you don't have to leave the room to dispose of something. That said, it's not completely necessary, it's just what works best for me personally ^^
Yes to a trash can! Useful for tissues, tags from new clothes etc! No to decorative pillows! 100% clutter to me. A nicely made clean bed should not need decoration, it should look inviting as it is
I didn't use decorative pillows much until a couple of weeks ago when my daughter gave me a beautiful new duvet cover (with embroidery) with matching pillow shams. I greatly enjoy seeing them when I walk into the room.
I told myself years ago that it's easier for me and my ADHD to keep the bedroom tidy if I gave up on decorative pillows. But the bed always felt sort of disappointingly bare. Then I ended up in possession of one really cool pillow. I threw it on my bed temporarily and realized I loved it. I can totally handle *one* extra pillow and it makes me happy. Team One Pillow!
I used to pile pillows on my bed and then I started watching Clutter bug videos and decided all those pillows were clutter! I save a lot of time making up the bed! đ
Love the look of decorative pillows! We have a minimal amount, but we get our muscles warmed up for the day putting them back on the bed every morning.
YES to the pillows! It's so pretty and it motivates me to want to make the bed. When you walk by that room during the day it makes you feel good, plus it causes you to look for things in the room that need to be put away. đ
No to decorative pillows, I can't be bothered with unnecessary steps in making my bed. I prefer our bedroom functional, calm and uncluttered because unless me and my husband suddenly decide to become swingers, no one is ever going to be in there besides us. Annoying decor just doesn't 'make sense by those standards :)
Hi Cas, I love the feel and comfortability of pillows, as well as, they are a necessity for my health and well being. I have medical issues with my neck, back, knees and feet and it is painful. I also suffer with arthritis also. They help to relieve pressure and help the realignment of my spine so I can sleep better. I have 1 full body pillow, 1 over-sized pillow, 3-4 standard Queen pillows and 2-3 decorative pillows. At night I take the decorative pillows off my bed, store them in an ottoman and then replace them on the bed each morning. A good pillow strategically placed can be your new best friend. đ
I have the decorative pillows, and I love how they make my bed look so pretty when itâs all made up. Thereâs a special spot in the corner we keep them when we are asleep. Itâs no big deal for me to arrange them in the morning. đ
I have 9 pillows on my bed.And love the decor they provide .The more pillows the better.Everyone who comes to my home wants to get on my bed and lay down it looks so inviting.
I like the look of lots of pillows but the reality is they ended up on the floor more often than not. So I simplified it, we have 2 sleeping pillows, and 2 decorative pillows, which I consider minimalist. And now making my bed is easy and I do it every day (nearly đ).
I'm leaning more and more towards minimalism as the years go by. So no extra pillows for me. I like how they look, but being responsible for them on a daily basis would drive me nuts đ
I've never used decorative pillows, they just seem like a hassle. I have a pretty headboard and comforter so I'm happy with the way it looks without the extra. Plus we have a tiny bedroom so they'd have to live on the floor while we sleep đ.
My bed has 5 pillows, 2 by my head, 3 by my feet. I use all of them while sleeping. One pillow is under the mattress to raise my feet up - it had been a couch pillow that has out-lived the couch. Two pillows are for my head when I sleep on my side. Two pillows are so that the angles of my legs don't make my hip hurt. None are for decoration. I never "make" my bed. A lumpy pile of delicious softness is much more inviting.
I keep a folding luggage holder (like the kind in hotel rooms) next to my dresser to store my few decorative pillows overnight. During the day it works well for other things such as laying out a t-shirt that may not be completely dry from the dryer before putting in drawers. And when guests come, I take out a rolling file cabinet from the guest room and put the luggage rack there to let guests use it to hold their luggage. I remove extra decorative pillows from that room so guests aren't encumbered with little room to move in the small space and I use the rolling filing cabinet to hold my own bedroom decorative pillows temporarily. It works like a charm and for me a good small investment.
7 decorative pillows here đ I just discovered this year that I love my bedroom more with these pretty pillows on the bed AND it motivates me every morning to make the bed (which was not the case before). So yeah it's not super practical to move them every night and day but I'm not going back đ€
No to extra pillows, but yes to a small waste basket in the bedroom - as an allergy sufferer, I need somewhere to put my used tissues that isn't a gross pile on the bedside table.
No to extra pillows for everyday use. I used to have lots but found that I am much more likely to make my bed if I have fewer pillows to manage. I do use decorative pillows in my guest room though.
I never wanted extra pillows but once we redecorate our bedroom, they are a must. I love them and they only take a few minutes to arrange. We just keep the extra pillows on our bench at the end of the bed while we sleep. Great video.. I was so glad to see that Iâve implemented most of these tips đthank you
Iâve been trying EVERYTHING to break my husband from leaving a pile of clothes on the floor. Even tho we donât have space, I think Iâm going to have to put a basket or something there for him to dump his dirty clothes into. đ«
@@dianaduncan4800 my husband could literally toss his dirty clothes into the basket in the master bath from the foot of our bed. He still piles them in the floor.
I start with the kids and myself and no clothing basket, dirty clothing goes right into the washer and no where else, I pick up after my husband if he doesn't do it himself he'll eventually get it
Yes to pillows. I've been most of my life without them, but I love how hotelish my room feels with them. It's luxurious đ plus, they're good to dive in to during the day if I'm taking a nap or just escaping the world.
I donât have decorative pillows on my bed, I know I wouldnât keep up with it. What I love is having a pillow or two that lives on a chair in the room, but can be moved to my bed! Mine is a quilted pillow I made myself. When I feel like it, it makes my room look extra nice, but it is so easy to toss and not worry about when Iâm not in the mood. Also great for when Iâm sick and need to elevate my head more while sleeping.
Yes to pillows!!! The extra 1 minute total that it takes me to take them off at night and put them on in the morning is worth it to me. I prefer how my bedroom looks with them.
@@anniep7280 They do still make them, but they're not nearly as good as they used to be - they're way smaller and have zero pockets, at least all the ones I've seen are/do (the ones we had growing up were/are big enough to fit a regular size pillow between the arms, the ones I've seen recently are barely big enough to fit a euro sham there, if even that).
Iâm not just in the team âno extra bed pillowsâ, we havenât had a pillow for a few months now and weâre loving it! Sure, it took some time getting used to it but I have less back and neck problems now! Itâs great! Sure, it looks like somethingâs missing but hey, I donât have to worry about shifting them around đ€·đŒââïžđ
I injured my neck with a bad pillow a few months ago, and the only way I found to heal it was by going with no pillow! I have since found a very supportive and grooved pillow, but I can understand the advantages to no pillow!
@@Scrambledmeags I have this problem also. Please, oh please, tell me what pillow you bought. If you have a link, it would be wonderful if you would share it with me. Thank you ever so much.
Nothing under the bed and no trash in the bedroom. Pretty bedding and decor we like. It needs to be restful. Two pillows each that we use. One of those usually has a holiday pillow case on it that I made.
I used to have decorative pillows on the bed for aesthetics. Now only have pretty pillowcases on the pillows that I use. I am enjoying the new system as it is simple and saves time and energy đ
No to layers of pillows - not on the bed, not on the sofa! I do have one special pillow on each of two beds. There is already a bench in each room with space for it. If you need a piece of furniture dedicated to hold them, or you have to throw them on the floor, thatâs a hard no!
Yes to pillows! We also have a pillow chair âșïž. I like to change them out with the seasons or simply swap them with a few from the couch collection to give the bedroom a refresh without spending a ton on new bedding, art or furniture.
Try buying shams/covers for a new look & lower cost option to change up your look without having to store a bunch of extra pillows. They make some great pillows shams, or you can even make your own for a custom look, for a fraction of the cost of actual pillows, & they store in a lot smaller space.
Six pillows, two large shams and one small decorative pillow. I easily remove the shams and decorative pillow before climbing in bed. I use all three regular pillows to have a firm comfy back for reading then use two to sleep. I always make the bed first thing and have a sense of joy and accomplishment when I make the bed in the morning. Definitely in the pillow camp!! I totally agree with you that the bedroom should be an oasis and stress free. For me this means very little on bedside tables and dresser and nothing under the bed (but we have hardwood floors and you can see under). When I make the bed, the room is instantly âcleanâ. Thanks for the tips.
Great tips for a tidy bedroom đđŒI got rid of all my extra pillows and bed cushions, much more calmness and much less laundry, winner! Not to mention that thereâs nothing to put back on the bed when I canât be arsed đ Be well đč
No decorative pillows, just sleeping pillows. I find pillows, even on couches to always be in the way and when I visit people and sit on their couch, I never know where to put the pillows....there's not enough room to sit with the pillow...most times I put it on my lap ;)
Yes to decorative bed pillowsâŠbut just one long one that says âXOXOâ on it. It was the compromise my husband and I came up with âŠ.he still thinks theyâre dumb btwđ€Ł
My family has always kept trash in the bedroom so when I had access to a trash can, I took it and it made things so much easier when I was learning to clean, decluter and organize my room. When I started the zero waste and minimalist journey, I just didn't have any trash for it so I gave it away. Now I only make organic trash (hair, fruit peels, and it all goes to the compost bin outside).
Lots and lots of PILLOWS! Love them. But one practical aspect to our pile of pillows, our dog likes to nap on our bed. By having sacrificial pillows she can lay on during the day, we put those off to the side at night for fur free pillows that we're hiding below. We each have two "protector pillows" in addition to the ones we like to sleep with.
Yes to decorative cushions! I was always a no on this until I had my room decorated, bought a lovely new bed and I just wanted to princess the whole thing up a notch. I must admit I started with five but paired down to three which is just right. It adds five seconds onto bed making and for me it makes a big difference to how I feel about the whole room. At night they go on a large wooden chest which doubles as my laundry bin. If I didn't have room for that and they had to go on the floor I would probably be annoyed by that and get rid of them!
You should use a CZcams poll for questions like âpillowsââŠYES, need decorative pillows!!! Way to plain without them. Theyâre the personality of the bedđ
Yes!! To quote Sheryl Crow, â if it makes you happyâŠâ. I have my grannyâs rocking chair that is my designated pillow holder. Luv u Cass!! đMimi
Yes to the pretty pillows! I think they add a finishing touch to the bed. Our master bedroom is right off the livingroom so I want it to look nice in case someone peaks in.
@@jeme7339 Lol! It's also where we have another bathroom. It gives me a reason to keep that room decluttered and nice looking. Most guests are our close friends or family so I don't mind.
I do admit that when done correctly, I like the look of lots of pillows. That said, I absolutely HATE dealing with them, have completely stopped using them, and have gotten rid of the ones for the beds in the house. I actually found I didn't like making my bed every day because it was "too much work" (let's face it, it's not really, but it was a handy excuse to be lazy).
I never used to have decorative pillows but I never made my bed in the morning. When I added 3 European pillows and 2 pillows with the quilt cover covers, it made me make my bed everyday as it's easy to make it look good and get the pillows off the floor. It takes 30 seconds. I'm pro!
I have a full size bed. I keep 2 pillows for sleeping and 2 for shams, but I have an iron bed with spindles instead of a solid headboard. So, I sewed lace ribbons to the shams and tied them to the headboard. That way, I don't bang my head on the bed, I don't have to take the shams off every night and put them back in the morning, I have a pillow to lean against when I read in bed, and they're easy to wash every month. I just untie the ribbon, take the pillow out, wash and dry the sham, put the pillow back in, and tie them back in place.
Yes! I love how it finishes the bed. I think of them like earrings or a necklace for our outfits. It could just be one in the center or 9 like I have.. đ€Šââïž But they have a home, nearly placed in the corner at night. And I love the look during the day.
Yes decor pillows. My bedroom is my special place when the kids are napping. Seeing the bed made and pretty pillows on it makes me feel like I have my sh*t together
Always feel rewarded to stay to the end! We go the middle ground and just have 3 extra pillows: 2 additional pillows with shams and 1 decorative pillow. My husband puts up with it. However, he likes to put the decorative pillow with the square standing on one corner like a diamond. I always put it resting on its side so its lines are parallel and perpendicular with the bed like a block at rest. We've been married over fifty years. So I guess we're still compatible
I love decorative pillows! I love being able to walk into my room and have it look pretty! Iâve scaled back on how many deco pillows I now use but that POP of color on a pillow is something I like to see đ
1 pillow is more than I can handle to sleep with since I am a stomach sleeper. Love to have decorative pillows. And yes, those d-pillows need a designated spot when I use the bed
Iâm in an apartment. Great tips and my bedroom is multi purpose and I see the bed, so the pillows are a beautiful visual. I alternate. More/less pillows and seasonal add ins. I have always had a trash can in every living spaceâŠlol. Thank you for helping me work on my mostly cricket đŠ self. 67 and still organizing. Oh my goshâŠ.my closets are finally ME. đ
Pillow for sure I have 4 on my bed it just looks amazing. I also have a hotel background to for me itâs a must. Itâs all about styling the bedroom to make it inviting. I got my husband so far now to actually put them on if I forget. So funny say yes to the pillow. !!!
Love the drawer dividers. Have made some from thick cardboard to see if it would work. Good Christmas idea. You can really see when the container is full. Also, I use an old pillow sham to stick between matress and box springs to hold lotions. Only had one sham. Works great too.
We have the Spaceaid Adjustable Bamboo drawer dividers in my top 2 dresser drawers. One is my cami/tank/ undershirts drawer, the other is my sock n underwear drawer. Highly recommend all of their products. we have a lot of them. Theyre, durable and very practical. And many can be used beyond the kitchen. My bras live under my bed in a tote. like you hubby's shorts. Changed my life. They fit perfectly across the width of the short side so it like tripled the space I had in my dresser and now I don't have the strap n flap tangled mess I used to.
Yes to decorative pillows-- I have 6 (and two sleeping pillows). I love the look even though nobody else sees them. They make me want to make the bed every day (which I didn't do before pretty pillows). â€
Cass, I've been following you for a while. I have little trash bins all over the place now! It's made a huge difference for me in keeping clutter down.
1) trash can is essential in the bedroom. 2) decorative pillows yesssss. But as a former messy person I only put them out when guests are around as itâs too much to do daily
@@jeme7339 guests often come in my room we talk / we might finish getting dressed to go out / often times family comes over and my aunt or girl cousins sleep in my bed even though we have guest rooms so we can chit chat all night I have a huge family so ppl are always coming by
@@jeme7339 Some people have large families and small homes, so sometimes your bedroom is the only quiet place to visit with a close friend. Multiple generations living in the same house is common these days, with rising housing costs.
Iâm curious - what trash does one have in a bedroom? I can only think of kleenex used in the night, which I would bring with me to the bathroom in the morning to throw away.
@@evelynmartin5570 Kleenex, packaging from new stuff , papers , food wrappers, cotton swabs , hair from my hairbrush , cotton rounds , used up products packaging , lip and eye pencil sharpening I do my hair and make up in my room I think itâs a personal choice just like ppl that allow their dog to lick them or eat off their plate (which I find gross )
I'm not a pillow person! To me is one more thing I have to do before going to bed and after making the bed....yes, I'm that lazy!! đ€Ș Love ur show Cass! â€ïž
I used to have lots of decorative pillows too, but recently changed sides of the debate. Now we have 4 (each have a soft and a firm) just gives a bit of height when the bed is made (and all the same color-white...just like in a hotel). So clean, tidy and calming. No more stressfull pillow clutter for me anymore! Just try it you'll be so glad you did.
I don't have that many pillows - but I actually use the "decorative" ones too. I like to read & watch stuff on my laptop in bed before going to sleep so I lean on my large European square pillows along with my sleeping pillow to make it more comfortable than leaning on just my wood headboard. I also have a large body pillow (left over from college days) that usually lives at the foot of my bed, but comes in handy when I want to prop my legs or feet up. The bolster also serves the same purpose & sometimes I'll use one or the other to prop up my laptop. I like having options. :)
I love love love extra pillows for beauty đ I think itâs like dressing up the bed after itâs done being made...kind of like putting make up on or jewelry on. It just completes the bed đ đ I donât over do it but it adds a nice touch and as you have taught me itâs a cheap way to add change to something. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos đ€
Yes to the pillows ! I love the comfy look they give our bedroom. I have actually loved pillows since I was a young girl. But I totally understand if someone isnât a fan, they do require a little extra effort when getting ready every morning. But God has made us all different đ
I love decorative pillows! I understand they're just for looks, but for me personally, it makes the whole bedroom just feel that much more cozy and luxurious. I'm all about making an exquisite bedroom because like you said, it's the first thing you see when you wake up in the last thing you see before you shut your eyes. Decorative pillows all the way!
6 regular pillows, a small pillow I call "my hugger", another travel size pillow, & 2 neck pillows =10. Plus decorative, which could just be one or a collection depending on the look I have going at the moment!
Decorative pillows are âridiculous and impractical.â HOWEVER, seeing them on my bed makes me happy. They tie together other elements in the room, making it feel cohesive and luxurious. I vote âyesâ on pillows đ
Well said for us people who love decorative pillows lol
Hahaha I'm with you on this one. Every night I complain due to the many pillows on my bed but in the morning I love how my bed looks with all of them on. đ
Exactly this đđŒ.
I'd rather have luxurious down filled silk covered actual pillows I can actually use . To each his own but 4 high quality pillows is all I need .
Only my guest room has decorative pillows. I donât have time for âfancyâ pillow I donât use.
I gave up the extra pillows and never looked back! The decorative ones would go on the floor at night then back next to the ones that we put our faces on in the morning. Minimal beds are where it's at for cleanliness and easy maintenance :)
I don't do pillows either. I never have done decorative pillows
Pillows have nothing to do with cleanliness- Iâm also not a minimalist- like a lot of others. I prefer the coziness of my clean pillows. If it works for you - good on ya/ but minimalism is not where itâs at for everyone.
@@penelopebranson3621 Good for you! Trying new things is how we find our new favorites.
We don't put extra pillows on our bed. I like the look of them but, I guess I'm lazy I just don't want to move them off and on the bed.
I like that most of the people commented that they like pillows but this comment has almost 200 likes đ€Ł I have three pillows on my bed and none of them look pretty but I still find my bed very inviting.
Iâm from Germany and here we usually have no decorative pillows on the bed. To me they are unnecessary clutter, so a clear NO from me âșïž
I enjoyed your post, it brought back a memory. We had a foreign exchange student from Schleiden Germany for 10 months. We were showing him our home. He saw the extra pillows and said, âThis is an American home for sure. We do not have all those pillows.â
Yes, greetz from Germany :-)
Ich stimme zu.
True!
That's the same in The Netherlands and I always think the same đ
I used to be an "I must have decorative bed pillows, 6 deep" person. But, now I am a No to the clutter.
Recently, I changed my mindset, thanks to watching you. You have changed my lifestyle.
My home has been sooooo cluttered, with shistuff. I have been faithfully decluttering and reorganizing everything, from closets, cupboards, drawers, walls, pantry, craftroom (hubby calls it my craproom...) and even some of my beloved plants.
The decorative pillows on the beds have become the latest victims. I offer stuff to family, then friends, some goes on the curb (gone within the hour). Final place is my local Goodwill donation drop-off, except for plants, I don't do faux plants. And Goodwill doesn't take real plants.
It has been so liberating. I am slowly becoming happy and proud of my home, again. Thank you, Cas, for the help with your show and your CZcams channel!!!

If you know you will kick your shoes off at the door, do not set yourself up with a shoe organizer that requires putting them away. Get a pretty basket by the door and kick your shoes off in there. Great ideas in this video! Love your channel!
Decorative pillows are clutter for me and I don't like to use the prettiest ones because I want to keep them pretty. So over the years I've decluttered all my pretty pillows and kept only the functional ones. It saves time in the morning and there's less mess on the floor at night.
I agree
Same!
I love mine. They donât take much time but I am retired.
Yes to this! All 6 of the pillows on our bed are functional (and pretty). I like having a bolster for reading in bed, and both hubby and I like a body pillow. I have solid neutral colors on the body pillows and, every day when I make the bed, I use them together with a couple functional decorative pillows that I use for reading. It makes the bed look nice and inviting. So for me, pillows need to be functional and attractive.
Cas, your bedroom looks beautiful, peaceful, and inviting!
Iâm entirely too lazy to take pillows off the bed and put them back on. They look cute, but Iâm not going to do it. So Iâm kinda on Joeâs side.
But I am 100% on your side on a garbage can. Tags on clothes, empty personal supplies (deodorant, lotion, etc.) are facts of life. I even have two garbage cans in my room, but to be fair, the one was added when I had to give a cat an ear cream using disposable gloves daily. I put a garbage can near there for convenience. (He slept on the bed so it was easiest to catch him there.)
My goodness, yes I forgot to agree on the garbage can issue when I commented on throw pillows :-). This might be a little ridiculous, but we have three trash cans in our bathroom, and two to three trash cans in our bedroom. Let me explain, lol I wouldn't say we have a massive ensuite, but it's not tiny. The thing is that we have two sinks in our master bathroom and then of course the toilet. And it's a very long skinny bathroom, so we each have a tiny trash can next to our sink and then there's one next to the toilet. And then there is a trash can on each side of the bed because...*blush* We have our dessert in secret at night in our room :-)
My husband hates decorative pillows. I love them! I conceded this point to him. No extra pillows on our bed. I know when to pick my battles and this wasn't that big of a deal to me.
I'm totally a pillow person! Sitting here with my 9+ pillows surrounding me. Love all the organizing tips. I'm new to the channel but so glad I found you. After years of struggling to wrangle the mess of myself, my husband, and 5 kids I'm ready to declutter and let go. You motivate me to get started loving my home. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
See, that's nice, but for me, i never just sit on my bed. I sleep in it for about five hours each night and i don't return until the next night. So, it's a waste for me.
I am a pillow person because it adds cozy layers and warmth. It is a hassle to tear down the bed at night and then make it all up again with all the pillows in the morning but it makes me feel happy.
I made my decorative pillows practical. Small 10" pillows covered in something soft and comfortable, like Minky, are perfect for tucking between your knees to support your back while lying on your side. I use another one to prop up my head just a bit more while reading in bed. I do have one decorative pillow covered in silk ribbon embroidery that no one would want to use, but it's oh-so pretty on my bed. :-)
Team no pillow here. It's clutter for me. I've donated brand new pillows that come in the comforter sets many many times. I have actually asked if I could get rid of the couch pillows before....so definitely team no pillows. Sorry Cass. đ
I'm a professional organizer because of your inspiration!! It's my dream job and I love it!! Thank you for all you do!! đâ€ïžâ€ïž
Same, girl!!
congratulations :) and in fact such channels inspire us to live our dreams ;) I have another dream job but decluttering organising help me to go for it :)
My hubby told me just the other day, if I ever need to go back to work I should definitely go into this occupation. I have been having so much fun decluttering and organizing our home. Thankfully/shamefully I am no where near done, 22 years of marriage, 2 kids and a lifetime of my grandmothers voice in my head to keep everything gave me a huge project to start off with.
@@TheChronicoles I love it!! Where are you? I'm in Oregon đ
@@cookfamily6141 you can do it!! When you're ready to help others, you've already got the foundation needed in your natural ability- not everyone can do it! I highly encourage you to take the next step when you're able to!! I only wish I had done it sooner. â€ïžđđŒđ
Iâm absolutely a decorative pillow person. Growing up, my bedroom was themed like Jeanieâs Bottle from I Dream of Jeanie and Princess Jasmineâs cage bedroom in Aladdin. In one corner I had a huge purple floor cushion packed with tons of decorative pillows of all kinds of sizes, patterns, styles. And covering the whole thing I had a gorgeous, embroidered burgundy bed tent. My favorite part of my room. When I moved away from that theme, I still kept a lot of those beautiful pillows. Over the years, though, Iâve donated or had to trash because an animal got to a pillow. Itâs sad to see them go, but itâs okay. Right now, I only have 3 of the 30 I started with. And I donât think Iâll ever give them up because they are just too sentimental and big bonus....they still match my new bedroom theme!
I will say one thing... I donât understand the people who donât use the pillows as pillows. I mean, yes they are decorative but they are legitimate pillows. If you just want the decorative part, buy/make decorative pillow covers instead of the whole pillows and then you stuff the pillow covers with out of season clothes, old towels, plastic bags, whatever. And voila! A decorative pillow you wonât feel guilty about not actually using as a pillow.
My jaw dropped at the full length accessory storage mirror!! And, Itâs so true that the bedroom should be your oasis and safe place that is all yours- fortunately my husband feels the same way. Cheers to tackling the clutter one space at a timeâŁïž
Iâve been eyeing those on Amazon for the longest time! Some even have lights! Just havenât made the leap. $$$
Get the jewelry organizer! I got one about a year ago and I Love it! All my jewelry and even nail polish is all in one place!

No, to decorative pillows - extra work. No, to trash can - there is no eating/trash in the bedroom. Great video, Cas!
My bedroom trash can is almost exclusively for tissues from blowing my nose. Doesn't need to be emptied often as there are no food particles for bugs to get into and it's a niche use, but it's nice to have it there for random things you wouldn't think of too, so you don't have to leave the room to dispose of something. That said, it's not completely necessary, it's just what works best for me personally ^^
Great to throw away receipts tags from clothing etc.
Not a pillow person. Thanks for your videos Cas!
Yes to a trash can! Useful for tissues, tags from new clothes etc!
No to decorative pillows! 100% clutter to me. A nicely made clean bed should not need decoration, it should look inviting as it is
Agreed. I keep small trash cans on both sides of the bed. I have trash cans in every room of the house
I didn't use decorative pillows much until a couple of weeks ago when my daughter gave me a beautiful new duvet cover (with embroidery) with matching pillow shams. I greatly enjoy seeing them when I walk into the room.
The single pillow sham on my twin bed is all I use. I don't understand extra pillows. The pillow shams give a nice touch.
I love the look of multiple pillows on the bed. Luxurious.
Switching to one long lumbar pillow vs several different sized ones was the best thing I ever did! Still looks stylized but sooo sleek and minimal!
I told myself years ago that it's easier for me and my ADHD to keep the bedroom tidy if I gave up on decorative pillows. But the bed always felt sort of disappointingly bare. Then I ended up in possession of one really cool pillow. I threw it on my bed temporarily and realized I loved it. I can totally handle *one* extra pillow and it makes me happy. Team One Pillow!
I used to pile pillows on my bed and then I started watching Clutter bug videos and decided all those pillows were clutter! I save a lot of time making up the bed! đ
Sorry Cas, I'm with Joe on the pillow debate! Only keep on my bed what I need to sit up comfortably, no pretty pillows for me!
Love the look of decorative pillows! We have a minimal amount, but we get our muscles warmed up for the day putting them back on the bed every morning.
đ
I am a hard no for decorative pillows in my home but I LOVE how they look in everyone elseâs !
Lol
YES to the pillows! It's so pretty and it motivates me to want to make the bed. When you walk by that room during the day it makes you feel good, plus it causes you to look for things in the room that need to be put away. đ
Yes to the trash can!! And yes to pretty pillows! I feel like a put-together grownup when we have the pretty pillows on the bed. đ
No to decorative pillows, I can't be bothered with unnecessary steps in making my bed. I prefer our bedroom functional, calm and uncluttered because unless me and my husband suddenly decide to become swingers, no one is ever going to be in there besides us. Annoying decor just doesn't 'make sense by those standards :)
Swingers! LOL
Exactly. I cannot understand why a guest would invade this most private room.
I think pillows make the bed look a place to sit especially if you just want to relax in your room. Love it great job
Hi Cas,
I love the feel and comfortability of pillows, as well as, they are a necessity for my health and well being. I have medical issues with my neck, back, knees and feet and it is painful. I also suffer with arthritis also. They help to relieve pressure and help the realignment of my spine so I can sleep better.
I have 1 full body pillow,
1 over-sized pillow, 3-4 standard Queen pillows and 2-3 decorative pillows. At night I take the decorative pillows off my bed, store them in an ottoman and then replace them on the bed each morning.
A good pillow strategically placed can be your new best friend. đ
I stopped using decorative pillows and wow what a difference it makes in tidy my husband always hated them so we are both happy here.
No to extra pillows. Yes to bins in the closet.
Bins in the wardrobe? With your clothes? Mine goes under the dressing table
I have the decorative pillows, and I love how they make my bed look so pretty when itâs all made up. Thereâs a special spot in the corner we keep them when we are asleep. Itâs no big deal for me to arrange them in the morning. đ
I have 9 pillows on my bed.And love the decor they provide .The more pillows the better.Everyone who comes to my home wants to get on my bed and lay down it looks so inviting.
I like the look of lots of pillows but the reality is they ended up on the floor more often than not. So I simplified it, we have 2 sleeping pillows, and 2 decorative pillows, which I consider minimalist. And now making my bed is easy and I do it every day (nearly đ).
I'm leaning more and more towards minimalism as the years go by. So no extra pillows for me.
I like how they look, but being responsible for them on a daily basis would drive me nuts đ
I've never used decorative pillows, they just seem like a hassle. I have a pretty headboard and comforter so I'm happy with the way it looks without the extra. Plus we have a tiny bedroom so they'd have to live on the floor while we sleep đ.
My bed has 5 pillows, 2 by my head, 3 by my feet. I use all of them while sleeping. One pillow is under the mattress to raise my feet up - it had been a couch pillow that has out-lived the couch. Two pillows are for my head when I sleep on my side. Two pillows are so that the angles of my legs don't make my hip hurt.
None are for decoration. I never "make" my bed. A lumpy pile of delicious softness is much more inviting.
I keep a folding luggage holder (like the kind in hotel rooms) next to my dresser to store my few decorative pillows overnight. During the day it works well for other things such as laying out a t-shirt that may not be completely dry from the dryer before putting in drawers. And when guests come, I take out a rolling file cabinet from the guest room and put the luggage rack there to let guests use it to hold their luggage. I remove extra decorative pillows from that room so guests aren't encumbered with little room to move in the small space and I use the rolling filing cabinet to hold my own bedroom decorative pillows temporarily. It works like a charm and for me a good small investment.
I am a pillow person! We have extra/decorative pillows on every bed in our house. It just seems more cozy that way.
7 decorative pillows here đ I just discovered this year that I love my bedroom more with these pretty pillows on the bed AND it motivates me every morning to make the bed (which was not the case before). So yeah it's not super practical to move them every night and day but I'm not going back đ€
No to extra pillows, but yes to a small waste basket in the bedroom - as an allergy sufferer, I need somewhere to put my used tissues that isn't a gross pile on the bedside table.
No to extra pillows for everyday use. I used to have lots but found that I am much more likely to make my bed if I have fewer pillows to manage. I do use decorative pillows in my guest room though.
I never wanted extra pillows but once we redecorate our bedroom, they are a must. I love them and they only take a few minutes to arrange. We just keep the extra pillows on our bench at the end of the bed while we sleep. Great video.. I was so glad to see that Iâve implemented most of these tips đthank you
Tons of pillows, they are beautiful and contribute to the feeling of luxury in the bedroom!
We've never had the extra pillows, couldn't afford to splurge on fancy pillows when we first started out, and just never felt the need to get them. Definitely like the hook idea, not sure if my husband can break the floor pile though đ©đ
Iâve been trying EVERYTHING to break my husband from leaving a pile of clothes on the floor. Even tho we donât have space, I think Iâm going to have to put a basket or something there for him to dump his dirty clothes into. đ«
@@dianaduncan4800 my husband could literally toss his dirty clothes into the basket in the master bath from the foot of our bed. He still piles them in the floor.
I start with the kids and myself and no clothing basket, dirty clothing goes right into the washer and no where else, I pick up after my husband if he doesn't do it himself he'll eventually get it
@@cindy844 mine probably would too even if we had room for a basket or chair đ luckily he'll do his own laundry though đ€Ł
Yes to decorative pillows. They're a cheaper way to change up the look of your space than the other linens or furniture.
Yes to pillows. I've been most of my life without them, but I love how hotelish my room feels with them. It's luxurious đ plus, they're good to dive in to during the day if I'm taking a nap or just escaping the world.
I donât have decorative pillows on my bed, I know I wouldnât keep up with it. What I love is having a pillow or two that lives on a chair in the room, but can be moved to my bed! Mine is a quilted pillow I made myself. When I feel like it, it makes my room look extra nice, but it is so easy to toss and not worry about when Iâm not in the mood. Also great for when Iâm sick and need to elevate my head more while sleeping.
Pillows Definitely lol
đ€Ł
It Gives your Bed a totally different
Look
Yes to pillows!!! The extra 1 minute total that it takes me to take them off at night and put them on in the morning is worth it to me. I prefer how my bedroom looks with them.
YES I am a pillow person. 4 regular pillows, and 3 decorative pillows. I also use the decorate ones sometimes to prop myself up in bed to read :)
I do this too! You used to be able to buy reading pillows but I have not seen them lately. I wonder if they still make them?
@@anniep7280 They do still make them, but they're not nearly as good as they used to be - they're way smaller and have zero pockets, at least all the ones I've seen are/do (the ones we had growing up were/are big enough to fit a regular size pillow between the arms, the ones I've seen recently are barely big enough to fit a euro sham there, if even that).
Iâm not just in the team âno extra bed pillowsâ, we havenât had a pillow for a few months now and weâre loving it! Sure, it took some time getting used to it but I have less back and neck problems now! Itâs great! Sure, it looks like somethingâs missing but hey, I donât have to worry about shifting them around đ€·đŒââïžđ
I injured my neck with a bad pillow a few months ago, and the only way I found to heal it was by going with no pillow! I have since found a very supportive and grooved pillow, but I can understand the advantages to no pillow!
@@Scrambledmeags I have this problem also. Please, oh please, tell me what pillow you bought. If you have a link, it would be wonderful if you would share it with me. Thank you ever so much.
Nothing under the bed and no trash in the bedroom. Pretty bedding and decor we like. It needs to be restful. Two pillows each that we use. One of those usually has a holiday pillow case on it that I made.
I used to have decorative pillows on the bed for aesthetics. Now only have pretty pillowcases on the pillows that I use. I am enjoying the new system as it is simple and saves time and energy đ
No to layers of pillows - not on the bed, not on the sofa! I do have one special pillow on each of two beds. There is already a bench in each room with space for it. If you need a piece of furniture dedicated to hold them, or you have to throw them on the floor, thatâs a hard no!
Yes to pillows! We also have a pillow chair âșïž. I like to change them out with the seasons or simply swap them with a few from the couch collection to give the bedroom a refresh without spending a ton on new bedding, art or furniture.
Try buying shams/covers for a new look & lower cost option to change up your look without having to store a bunch of extra pillows. They make some great pillows shams, or you can even make your own for a custom look, for a fraction of the cost of actual pillows, & they store in a lot smaller space.
Yes to extra pillows on the bed! I have 3 decorative pillows with crocheted tops that my late mother made for me and I treasure them.
Six pillows, two large shams and one small decorative pillow. I easily remove the shams and decorative pillow before climbing in bed. I use all three regular pillows to have a firm comfy back for reading then use two to sleep. I always make the bed first thing and have a sense of joy and accomplishment when I make the bed in the morning. Definitely in the pillow camp!! I totally agree with you that the bedroom should be an oasis and stress free. For me this means very little on bedside tables and dresser and nothing under the bed (but we have hardwood floors and you can see under). When I make the bed, the room is instantly âcleanâ. Thanks for the tips.
Love the look of pretty pillows, but I have come to enjoy the simplicity of just the pillows we need on the bed.
Great tips for a tidy bedroom đđŒI got rid of all my extra pillows and bed cushions, much more calmness and much less laundry, winner! Not to mention that thereâs nothing to put back on the bed when I canât be arsed đ Be well đč
No decorative pillows, just sleeping pillows. I find pillows, even on couches to always be in the way and when I visit people and sit on their couch, I never know where to put the pillows....there's not enough room to sit with the pillow...most times I put it on my lap ;)
Yes to extra bed pillows - I have just 3 and every night they annoy me but when I go into the bedroom in the day they look lovely đ
Lol đ yes annoy at night but love â€ïž
Yes to decorative bed pillowsâŠbut just one long one that says âXOXOâ on it. It was the compromise my husband and I came up with âŠ.he still thinks theyâre dumb btwđ€Ł
Same ... My husband is in charge of the pillows!
My family has always kept trash in the bedroom so when I had access to a trash can, I took it and it made things so much easier when I was learning to clean, decluter and organize my room. When I started the zero waste and minimalist journey, I just didn't have any trash for it so I gave it away. Now I only make organic trash (hair, fruit peels, and it all goes to the compost bin outside).
Thanks for sharing!
Lots and lots of PILLOWS! Love them. But one practical aspect to our pile of pillows, our dog likes to nap on our bed. By having sacrificial pillows she can lay on during the day, we put those off to the side at night for fur free pillows that we're hiding below. We each have two "protector pillows" in addition to the ones we like to sleep with.
NO to dust-collecting pillows!!! ...only if they're functional and have washable covers.
Yes to decorative cushions! I was always a no on this until I had my room decorated, bought a lovely new bed and I just wanted to princess the whole thing up a notch. I must admit I started with five but paired down to three which is just right. It adds five seconds onto bed making and for me it makes a big difference to how I feel about the whole room. At night they go on a large wooden chest which doubles as my laundry bin. If I didn't have room for that and they had to go on the floor I would probably be annoyed by that and get rid of them!
I like how you wanted to âprincess upâ. I know exactly what you mean đ
Yes pillows! I am thinking of sewing them (5 of them) together so I can just pick them all up at once and move them in one motion. đ
You should use a CZcams poll for questions like âpillowsââŠYES, need decorative pillows!!! Way to plain without them. Theyâre the personality of the bedđ
Yes!! To quote Sheryl Crow, â if it makes you happyâŠâ. I have my grannyâs rocking chair that is my designated pillow holder. Luv u Cass!!
đMimi
Yes for pillows! I enjoy the way it looks on bed, I have 6 on our bed and 4 is decorative.
Yes to the pretty pillows! I think they add a finishing touch to the bed. Our master bedroom is right off the livingroom so I want it to look nice in case someone peaks in.
? I'm confused; why in the world would a guest invade the privacy of your bedroom?
@@jeme7339 Lol! It's also where we have another bathroom. It gives me a reason to keep that room decluttered and nice looking. Most guests are our close friends or family so I don't mind.
I do admit that when done correctly, I like the look of lots of pillows. That said, I absolutely HATE dealing with them, have completely stopped using them, and have gotten rid of the ones for the beds in the house. I actually found I didn't like making my bed every day because it was "too much work" (let's face it, it's not really, but it was a handy excuse to be lazy).
I never used to have decorative pillows but I never made my bed in the morning. When I added 3 European pillows and 2 pillows with the quilt cover covers, it made me make my bed everyday as it's easy to make it look good and get the pillows off the floor. It takes 30 seconds. I'm pro!
I have a full size bed. I keep 2 pillows for sleeping and 2 for shams, but I have an iron bed with spindles instead of a solid headboard. So, I sewed lace ribbons to the shams and tied them to the headboard. That way, I don't bang my head on the bed, I don't have to take the shams off every night and put them back in the morning, I have a pillow to lean against when I read in bed, and they're easy to wash every month. I just untie the ribbon, take the pillow out, wash and dry the sham, put the pillow back in, and tie them back in place.
Yes! I love how it finishes the bed. I think of them like earrings or a necklace for our outfits. It could just be one in the center or 9 like I have.. đ€Šââïž But they have a home, nearly placed in the corner at night. And I love the look during the day.
Yes love extra pillows - not just decorative though, I prop them up to lay on when I'm watching TV or reading x
Yes to decorative pillows. IMO it creates beauty, adds color, and makes the bed look more inviting.
Yes! to decorative pillows, when I make my bed, itâs starts my day with beauty and function đ
Yes decor pillows. My bedroom is my special place when the kids are napping. Seeing the bed made and pretty pillows on it makes me feel like I have my sh*t together
Always feel rewarded to stay to the end! We go the middle ground and just have 3 extra pillows: 2 additional pillows with shams and 1 decorative pillow. My husband puts up with it. However, he likes to put the decorative pillow with the square standing on one corner like a diamond. I always put it resting on its side so its lines are parallel and perpendicular with the bed like a block at rest. We've been married over fifty years. So I guess we're still compatible
That is so sweet!! đ
And Congratulations to you two on 50 years of marriage!!! đ
I love decorative pillows! I love being able to walk into my room and have it look pretty! Iâve scaled back on how many deco pillows I now use but that POP of color on a pillow is something I like to see đ
1 pillow is more than I can handle to sleep with since I am a stomach sleeper. Love to have decorative pillows. And yes, those d-pillows need a designated spot when I use the bed
Iâm a pillow person!! 9 of them on my bed. I live alone so it doesnât matter. They make me happy. đ
Iâm in an apartment. Great tips and my bedroom is multi purpose and I see the bed, so the pillows are a beautiful visual. I alternate. More/less pillows and seasonal add ins. I have always had a trash can in every living spaceâŠlol. Thank you for helping me work on my mostly cricket đŠ self. 67 and still organizing. Oh my goshâŠ.my closets are finally ME. đ
Pillow for sure I have 4 on my bed it just looks amazing. I also have a hotel background to for me itâs a must. Itâs all about styling the bedroom to make it inviting. I got my husband so far now to actually put them on if I forget. So funny say yes to the pillow. !!!
Love the drawer dividers. Have made some from thick cardboard to see if it would work. Good Christmas idea. You can really see when the container is full. Also, I use an old pillow sham to stick between matress and box springs to hold lotions. Only had one sham. Works great too.
We have the Spaceaid Adjustable Bamboo drawer dividers in my top 2 dresser drawers. One is my cami/tank/ undershirts drawer, the other is my sock n underwear drawer. Highly recommend all of their products. we have a lot of them. Theyre, durable and very practical. And many can be used beyond the kitchen.
My bras live under my bed in a tote. like you hubby's shorts. Changed my life. They fit perfectly across the width of the short side so it like tripled the space I had in my dresser and now I don't have the strap n flap tangled mess I used to.
Yes to decorative pillows-- I have 6 (and two sleeping pillows). I love the look even though nobody else sees them. They make me want to make the bed every day (which I didn't do before pretty pillows). â€
Cass, I've been following you for a while. I have little trash bins all over the place now! It's made a huge difference for me in keeping clutter down.
Yes to pillows! I have 12 on my bed. Some are functional and some are purely decorative!
1) trash can is essential in the bedroom.
2) decorative pillows yesssss. But as a former messy person I only put them out when guests are around as itâs too much to do daily
?I'm confused; why in the world would a guest invade the privacy of your bedroom?
@@jeme7339 guests often come in my room we talk / we might finish getting dressed to go out / often times family comes over and my aunt or girl cousins sleep in my bed even though we have guest rooms so we can chit chat all night
I have a huge family so ppl are always coming by
@@jeme7339 Some people have large families and small homes, so sometimes your bedroom is the only quiet place to visit with a close friend. Multiple generations living in the same house is common these days, with rising housing costs.
Iâm curious - what trash does one have in a bedroom? I can only think of kleenex used in the night, which I would bring with me to the bathroom in the morning to throw away.
@@evelynmartin5570 Kleenex, packaging from new stuff , papers , food wrappers, cotton swabs , hair from my hairbrush , cotton rounds , used up products packaging , lip and eye pencil sharpening
I do my hair and make up in my room
I think itâs a personal choice just like ppl that allow their dog to lick them or eat off their plate (which I find gross )
I'm not a pillow person! To me is one more thing I have to do before going to bed and after making the bed....yes, I'm that lazy!! đ€Ș
Love ur show Cass! â€ïž
I used to have lots of decorative pillows too, but recently changed sides of the debate. Now we have 4 (each have a soft and a firm) just gives a bit of height when the bed is made (and all the same color-white...just like in a hotel). So clean, tidy and calming. No more stressfull pillow clutter for me anymore! Just try it you'll be so glad you did.
I gave up the decorative pillows BUT now sleep with 4-5 bed pillows. đ€« Iâm single! But itâs so much more comfy surrounded by pillows! đŽ
I don't have that many pillows - but I actually use the "decorative" ones too. I like to read & watch stuff on my laptop in bed before going to sleep so I lean on my large European square pillows along with my sleeping pillow to make it more comfortable than leaning on just my wood headboard. I also have a large body pillow (left over from college days) that usually lives at the foot of my bed, but comes in handy when I want to prop my legs or feet up. The bolster also serves the same purpose & sometimes I'll use one or the other to prop up my laptop. I like having options. :)
I love love love extra pillows for beauty đ I think itâs like dressing up the bed after itâs done being made...kind of like putting make up on or jewelry on. It just completes the bed đ đ I donât over do it but it adds a nice touch and as you have taught me itâs a cheap way to add change to something. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos đ€
Yes to the pillows ! I love the comfy look they give our bedroom. I have actually loved pillows since I was a young girl. But I totally understand if someone isnât a fan, they do require a little extra effort when getting ready every morning. But God has made us all different đ
I love organizing, I have got rid of quite a bit of clutter which makes life so much easier.
I love decorative pillows! I understand they're just for looks, but for me personally, it makes the whole bedroom just feel that much more cozy and luxurious. I'm all about making an exquisite bedroom because like you said, it's the first thing you see when you wake up in the last thing you see before you shut your eyes. Decorative pillows all the way!
6 regular pillows, a small pillow I call "my hugger", another travel size pillow, & 2 neck pillows =10. Plus decorative, which could just be one or a collection depending on the look I have going at the moment!
