When your bedroom needs a wake-up , there's no better (or better-priced) place to turn than some dazzling pillows. For the ultra-luxe experience, hotel experts recommend arranging at least three on your bed. A bright pop of pillow color can also act as the centerpiece for a stylish bedroom.

Here's the breakdown on every type of pillow your bed could desire, plus some inspiration on how to put them to work.
