Most pillow arrangements are 2 columns wide and are designed to work best for a full or queen size bed.
How to arrange pillows on a queen size bed.
Start with three euros then tow 18 x 18 pillows followed by two 16 x 16 pillows and three 12 x 15 pillows.
Use euro inserts that are one or two inches larger than the european sham cover to yield a full and rounded pillow.
This is especially good for filling out a bed without headboard or for styling a bed with a particularly tall oversize headboard say for 26x26 euro sham cover you need 28x28 euro sham insert.
Add a third column.
You can tweak the sizes of the decorative pillows to best fit the size of your headboard if you have a taller headboard like i do you can go as big as a pair of 26 decorative pillows with a smaller pillow in front.
Two bed pillows two standard shams two 26 20 pillows one smaller pillow.
Formula from back to front.
In fact you might just be that much cosier when you arrange pillows right.
Place your accent pillows at the forefront of the arrangement either centered or offset slightly.
This is a more minimalistic look that starts with two bed pillows standing upright then two standard shams and then a trio of decorative pillows.
My last project was a modern home with transitional decor.
Start your queen size pillow arrangement by propping two standard pillows up against your headboard.
If you prefer a simpler lighter style then use 3 euros with one rectangle or decorative pillow in front.
Any arrangement can be adapted for a king or california king size bed by adding a third column of pillows.
For minimalist arrangements use 6 standard pillows instead of 4.
