    Please feel free to share a picture of your bedroom for critique?

    😜😂
    I only have two pillows on my bed, and no cushions :(  I don't think anyone would find it very aspirational. Although I do have a telly you can actually see, and my headboard matches the wall, carpets and curtains

    All the observations might apply...naturist, royal, vertically challenged residents from another dimension who don't need the the full length of the bed to lie down.  Box in front of window to facilitate drawing the curtains. Mirror image TV viewing via wardrobe mirrors to compensate for their alternate reality view of our world.  Handles at suitable height ...no clothes inside obvs as they're  naturists, but it's where they stashed the body of their decorator...no way they're paying for that dodgy papering job.
    But why so many pillows I hear you ask...the en suite loo was flushed with the lid up and the princess can feel that pee that atomised and ended up on the headboard...and she can still feel it!

    I hate radiators in front of windows with long curtains. On a cold winter night you can draw the curtains and keep all that nasty heat from the radiator away from you

    It's for potential buyers who don't know what a bed with pillows on looks like, so they can visualise having a bed with an insane amount of pillows and cushions on it, which will obviously persuade them to buy the house.

    It may also be to deflect attention from the hideous wallpaper, or the fact their headboard doesn't match anything else in the room....
    It hides the fact that bed is an extra short trick one, designed to make the room look like it's big enough to fit a real bed in it.

    The towels on the loo are to highlight how there is a lack of storage space for them, forcing the unlucky owners to live like that.

    To me, all those pillows have the opposite of what I imagine is the desired effect.
    It makes the bed look too small to actually sleep in comfortably, and so leaves me with the impression that the whole room is cramped.
