I have a small chair in the corner of the room they go on and under. The two large europillows are stacked on the floor. If I didn't have the chair, they'd be stacked on the floor. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with our bedroom I thought all those pillows looked like a huge pain but after a while I noticed all the pictures I really liked of beds had LOTS of pillows. I went for it and don't mind moving them around every day.

Lynn: really like your idea as well - at least they are hidden. Part of the reason for not having the sleeping pillows on the bed is they are not that great looking. We have TempurPedic pillows and the pillowcases don't fit them really well so there's a lot of material around that stick out at the sides and could show with deco pillows in front - don't really know yet. I don't want to spend a lot of time doing my bed either. Trisha: throwing them on the bedside rug is not an option. Lynn and Terriks: First, we won't have too much wall space due to a lot of glass for the view and don't want the TV in front of any of the glass. But, I don't plan to spend a lot of time doing work stuff in the bedroom and if I do occasionally I can listen to the news and if there is something interesting to watch I can stop for a few minutes. I think of my bedroom as a place to go away from work and chores and to relax - read,watch TV, sleep. In fact, I will need to put on ear phones when DH is in bed if he wants to read. Ironing and other chores will usually be done in the kitchen, family room, or outside. Thanks for all your ideas - Cheers!

Mtn, I hear ya. One summer when I was a teen, I made my bed up so beautifully with new sheets, perfect corners, I couldn't bear to mess it up. I slept all summer on a sleeping bag on the floor next to it...cozy nest :) Throw pillows: depends on who gets there first. DH frisbees them into the corner. I use them for reading (3 little-ish ones) so I tuck them between bed and nightstand at lights out.

Thanks, Bluebell66! Re the size - yes, it's definitely wide enough to cover a pillow-top mattress. It may be a little hard to tell from the photo I posted, since the coverlet is folded back, but it just skims the top of the footboard on both sides.
