How do you feel about decorative pillows on your bed?

Last December, I stayed in a room where the person had a ton of decorative pillows on the bed. She was out of town, and I was there for a week. I actually took a picture of her decorative pillows so I could put them back on the bed just right when I was leaving (and yes, I laundered the bed linens too).

I piled the 10 or 12 pillows on a chair in the room. Never touched them again until the morning I left.

It made me remember why we don’t have decorative pillows on our bed!

Our kids’ rooms are now sort of both set up as guest rooms. Each double bed has two bed pillows and two additional bed pillows in shams that match the quilt or coverlet on the bed. Is that considered decorative?
