How to arrange pillows

The number of pillows you should use on your sofa/sectional and bed can vary based on personal preference, the size of the furniture, and the style you're aiming for. However, here are some general guidelines we tend to follow:

Sofa/Sectional:

  • Sofa: For a standard-sized sofa, a common arrangement is to use 2 to 4 throw pillows. This provides a balanced and comfortable look. You can choose a combination of different sizes, shapes, and patterns.

  • Sectional: The number of pillows for a sectional can vary based on its size and the number of seats. As a starting point, you might use 2 to 4 pillows on each corner of the sectional. This could add up to 6 to 12 pillows for a larger sectional.

Beds:

When it comes to bed pillows, consider the following options for different bed sizes:

  • Twin or Single Bed (38" x 75"):

    • 1 to 2 standard pillows for sleeping

    • 1 accent pillow or small decorative pillow

  • Full/Double Bed (54" x 75"):

    • 2 standard pillows for sleeping

    • 1 to 2 accent pillows or small decorative pillows

  • Queen Bed (60" x 80"):

    • 2 standard pillows for sleeping (or queen-sized pillows)

    • 2 to 4 accent pillows or decorative pillows

    • Optional: 1 or 2 Euro shams (26" x 26")

  • King Bed (76" x 80"):

    • 2 king-sized pillows for sleeping

    • 2 to 4 accent pillows or decorative pillows

    • Optional: 2 or 3 Euro shams (26" x 26")

  • California King Bed (72" x 84"):

    • 2 king-sized pillows for sleeping

    • 2 to 4 accent pillows or decorative pillows

    • Optional: 2 or 3 Euro shams (26" x 26")

Remember that these are just general guidelines, and you can adjust the number of pillows based on your personal preferences and the style you're aiming for. Additionally, layering pillows of different sizes, shapes, and textures can add depth and visual interest to your sofa and bed arrangements. It's a good idea to experiment with different arrangements and pillow combinations to find what works best for your space and your comfort.
