Ever wonder how designers make throw pillows look so effortless? Save my ultimate throw pillow guide for easy pillow layering & groupings for beds and seating! In this guide I’m giving you all the details on which pillow sizes layer best for: twin, full, queen & king sized beds, lounge chairs, love seats, standard sofas and L-shaped sectionals!
I created some simple graphics to help you visualize which throw pillow layering & grouping options you love most! Additionally, I’ve written out all the pillow size details in inches for easy sourcing. Keep in mind, if your sofa is oversized you can totally upgrade your sizes a bit (for example your 20″x20″ to 22″ x22″ and your 22″x22″ to 24″x24″)!
While my guide covers the basics, there are truly so many unique pillow shapes out there such as bolsters, spherical pillows, circular pillows, heart shaped or other seasonal pillows etc.! Once you have the sizes down, feel free to have fun experimenting with unique shapes! And of course, design is subjective, so layer up your throw pillows to *your* heart’s desire.
