PILLOW STYLING TIPS
Soft layers. Effortless charm. Endless possibilities.
The right pillows can completely transform a space — adding warmth, colour, and personality.
Whether you’re styling a bed, sofa, or reading nook, these tips will help you create a cozy, balanced, and visually pleasing arrangement.
Play with Size & Shape
Mixing different pillow sizes adds depth and visual interest to your space.
Standard sizes we love:
-
50 × 50 cm (classic square)
-
45 × 45 cm (slightly smaller, easy to mix)
-
30 × 50 cm (lumbar / rectangular)
→ Styling tip: Layer large pillows at the back and smaller shapes in front for a balanced, inviting look.
Mix Textures
Texture brings instant warmth and dimension — even with a neutral color palette.
Try combining:
-
Linen, cotton, or washed velvet
-
Woven details or subtle embroidery
-
Smooth vs. nubby or tactile fabrics
→ Use texture to balance softness and structure throughout your room.
Use a Cohesive Colour Palette
Choose 2 to 3 complementary colors to repeat across your pillows and surrounding décor.
Tonal ideas:
Warm & earthy
Soft & muted
Bold & contrasting
→ Add one accent cushion for a pop of colour or a seasonal touch.
Keep It Asymmetrical — But Balanced
On a sofa: Try three pillows on one side, two on the other — a classic designer trick.
On a bed: Layer two larger pillows at the back, a pair of medium ones in front, and finish with a small lumbar cushion.
→ Asymmetry feels natural, relaxed, and visually pleasing.
Switch with the Seasons
Refresh your space without redecorating:
Spring/Summer: Light fabrics, soft neutrals, pastels
Autumn/Winter: Richer hues, plush textures, deeper layering
→ Bonus Tip: Use Quality Inserts
For a full, high-end look, use down or down-alternative inserts slightly larger than your covers.Example: Use a 55 × 55 cm (~22 × 22 in) insert for a 50 × 50 cm (~20 × 20 in) pillow cover.
