Beautiful Shams Dress Up the Bed
Frame the bed with beautiful pillow shams. They tie together quilts and coverlets, comforters, and duvet covers for a finished look, and they come in sizes to fit Standard, King, and Euro pillows. Pair matelassé or quilted designs with matching bedding for a tailored look, browse linen shams for a breezy-but-elevated aesthetic, or choose breathable, natural cotton shams in your favorite finish and feel: crisp percale, smooth sateen, soft jersey knit, or cozy flannel.
The right sham can define the personality of the bed, whether you’re looking to create a focal point or add a complementary layer for texture. Try a dramatic dark-and-light color scheme for graphic contrast, enjoy a more serene palette in gentle earth tones, or let a bold floral or medallion pattern anchor a neutral bed.
Shams Q&A
A sham is a primarily decorative bedding item that slips over a pillow and secures in the back or on the sides. Shams are not meant to be slept on, but are intended to complement other pieces and bring interest to the bed.
A sham slips over a bed pillow and is often placed in front of or on top of the pillows you sleep on as the finishing touch to a layered bedding look.
Pillow shams are intended as a decorative bedding item rather than a functional one, and may feature beading or embroidery that makes it uncomfortable to sleep on. While you can sleep on a sham, we recommend using a regular pillowcase instead.
A sham is not the same as a comforter—it is a primarily decorative bedding piece that covers a pillow and adds interest to the bed. Shams are often sold in sets with matching comforters, so you can create a cohesive bedding look.
