What Are Quilted Pillow Shams?

Pillow shams are decorative pillow coverings designed to enhance the appearance of a bed. Unlike everyday pillowcases, which are primarily intended for sleeping pillows, shams are commonly used as part of a layered bedding arrangement.

Quilted pillow shams feature stitched or quilted detailing that adds texture and visual dimension to the pillow surface. They can be placed alongside your regular pillows to create a more complete and coordinated bedroom look.

Why Choose Quilted Pillow Shams?

Quilted pillow shams are a simple way to introduce detail and character into your bedroom.

1. Add Texture to Your Bedding

Quilted stitching creates a distinctive surface that can make a simple bedding arrangement look more thoughtfully styled. It adds dimension without requiring additional decorative accessories.

2. Create a Layered Bedroom Look

Layering different pillow styles can make your bed appear more inviting. Quilted shams can be paired with regular pillowcases, decorative cushions and complementary bedding.

3. Explore Different Fabric Choices

Fabric influences the overall appearance and feel of a pillow sham. Cotton and European linen offer different textures and visual characteristics, allowing you to choose a design that suits your preferences.

4. Complement Different Bedroom Styles

A well-arranged bed can make your entire bedroom feel more inviting. Here are some simple ways to style quilted pillow shams.
