Surely they are casually slung items, discarded in the heat of the moment ?

Childcar12 · 09/07/2019 11:46

But even the pillows... Hmm

Shouldn't you 'leave your hat on' 🤣

Nooo of course we all have various items to lay out casually on the bed for looks, didn't you know that?

Not a variety of clothes, kids, pets or just a bare, made bed 😀.

I have 5 pillows on my bed and use them all to prop myself up comfortably to read etc. but I do line them up neatly after I've made the bed. For aesthetics. No straw hats though!

whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 09/07/2019 11:50

I like to make my bed properly in the morning. Just as a little sense of achievement to start my day with a positive. I have throw pillows (that I actually use to prop myself up on spoonless days) but definitely not decorative hats or other oddities! Aha

Apolloanddaphne · 09/07/2019 11:51

I make my bed nicely with pillows and a throw. I've just changed the bedding so i might take a pic and let you see! I don't artfully lay other stuff on it though.

Childcar12 · 09/07/2019 11:52

I really struggle with those decorative pillows that just get taken off at night!! What is the point?!!

Exactly. They've just come dashing in and have flung their hats down on the bed. Oh, and her bag.

If only we could zoom out we'd see their clothes all over the floor and perhaps even the happy couple in flagrante delicto just out of frame.

Ahem. I think I'd better get back to work.

Crankybitch · 09/07/2019 11:53

I have decorative pillows & throws on my bed 🤷🏼‍♀️ Looks very pain with nothing.

howwudufeel · 09/07/2019 11:53

I make my bed up after it’s aired. The windows are opened wide to let in fresh air. I have cushions and a throw to decorate it. It makes getting into it a pleasure.

Apolloanddaphne · 09/07/2019 11:54

There we go. I just take off the cushions and throw when I go to bed then replace the next morning. Takes seconds.

I have 2 extra pillows and 3 cushions that I dress the bed with as I make it. Takes all of 30 seconds to do. We do use the pillows/cushions to prop us up when reading in bed or watching TV etc. Its just part of our morning routine, make the bed, sort the pillows, open the curtains etc.

Nautiloid · 09/07/2019 11:54

I have decorative cushions and a throw.

GreenGrowTheRushesOhh · 09/07/2019 11:55

Although what with the teddy bears I can't help picturing one of the couple as Lord Sebastian Flyte.

Apolloanddaphne · 09/07/2019 11:55

No clothes on my floor either! I like a tidy bedroom.

RightMover · 09/07/2019 11:55

I have decorative cushions and a throw, just because I like them 🤷‍♀️

Rainbowknickers · 09/07/2019 11:56

We’re having a good day in this house if someone remembers to make it!

MyOpinionIsValid · 09/07/2019 11:56

I dont get the bed cushion thing either. It's a complete mystery to me.

MissB83 · 09/07/2019 11:56

I have two decorative pillows! But no hats or teddies.

Youmadorwhat · 09/07/2019 11:56

Yep! 🤣

LoafofSellotape · 09/07/2019 11:57

I make my bed every day, throw, cushions etc.

LoopIt · 09/07/2019 11:58

It looks better and much more homely. If you don't like it then don't do it. Not really something to have an entire thread about.

Nottobesoldseparately · 09/07/2019 12:02

Our spare bed, has a bedspread with 2 additional and matching pillow shams.

It also has an additional folded blanket across the foot. 2 silk cushions and some soft toys which my niece likes when she sleeps over.

So yes, the bed is decorated. I love it.
