Pillows: More Than Just a Place to Rest Your Head
Nothing says "comfort" to me better than a good pillow. A good pillow isn't just a pillow that you can lay your head down on (although that's important). A good pillow can also be cuddled up with or tossed playfully back and forth with others. And a good pillow should always enhance the surrounding decor.
It's really easy to choose good pillows for any room since they come in every color and texture that you can imagine. If you get creative with pillows, they can really help to spice up any space. If you take a look at a room and immediately want to grab the pillow that's there and pull it to your chest then you know that you've designed the room right!
The really great thing about pillows is that they're small and affordable so you can play around with them a lot. Stick them on chairs. Use them to decorate outdoor lounge areas. Let the kids have pillow fights with them. Pillows not only say "comfort"; they also say "fun"!

The above picture is how my bed looks; it has lots of pillows on it. However, a bedroom may look prettier when it only has one or two pillows on the bed. These fun fabrics are repeated in the sheets and curtains of the room. How flirty! I would need more pillows than this to be really comfortable but if I had a guest bedroom then I might decorate it this way and keep the extra (functional) pillows in the closet.
The most obvious place to see pillows is in the bedroom. The sad thing is that most people choose rather dull bedroom pillows because they think of these pillows in a function-over-form kind of way. When choosing bedroom pillows, choose pillow cases that are fun and that add to the decor of the room.
Pillows don't always have to serve a functional purpose. They can also be decoration. I would love to see the pillow that's on the chair here moved to one of the stairs as a decor piece amidst the other items on display there. You could also frame great pillows in shadowboxes and hang them on the wall.
