Divas Don’t Do This! Taming the Pillow Monster
Last week’s decorating blunder was using too many accessories! Remember….remove at least one thing!
This time we will discuss:
TOO MANY THROW PILLOWS!
Pillows are fun, but if you have to throw them on the floor to make room on the couch (or the bed), you have WAY too many! If you can’t decide which ones to keep, put some of them away in a closet and bring them out when the seasons change. If you don’t have room in a storage closet, you just have too much stuff!
Yes, decorating divas, it IS possible to have too many things!
If you have to clear your couch to make room for sitting, now your room is completely thrown off by the sea of pillow icebergs all over the floor. That’s not attractive to guests. Besides, your friends get embarrassed if they have to ask where they should put the pillows. Don’t make them work for a seat!
Use pillows sparingly and where the room calls for it. Couches are for sitting and talking or watching television. The occasional family member who wants to sleep can use the arm of the couch or bring their pillow out for a snooze.
When you do pare down, you will find that the energy it took to move all those pillows starts winding it’s way into other areas of your room. You may find that your wealth or health increases just because you made room for it!
