Use pillow shams instead of pillowcases to give a more finished look to standard pillows.
How to style a queen bed with pillows.
Start with three euros then tow 18 x 18 pillows followed by two 16 x 16 pillows and three 12 x 15 pillows.
Two bed pillows two standard shams two 26 20 pillows one smaller pillow.
For reference my bed is a queen but these looks also work on a king sized bed.
Match these to your sheets or use them to layer in another color or pattern.
Formula from back to front.
They are a nice weight and i love the sewn detailed pattern that makes the bedding look extra fluffy.
Place your accent pillows at the forefront of the arrangement either centered or offset slightly.
A good rule of thumb.
Two standard pillows in beige two large decorative pillows and two small textured decorative pillows in a blush hue are stacked upright on top.
Start your queen size pillow arrangement by propping two standard pillows up against your headboard.
Use a pair of large euro square pillows to add height to the bed and layer in pattern or texture.
Use 3 euro squares for a king bed.
My last project was a modern home with transitional decor.
For this look use 3 plaza quilted euro pillows across the back of the bed and one plaza quilted breakfast pillow lumbar pillow.
Match your euro shams to your duvet or quilt.
Note that european squares often coordinate with the duvet in terms of color and pattern.
Center two euro pillows in front of them followed by your two remaining standard pillows.
Instead of king size pillows use three queen or standard size pillows with shams for the second layer then center two boudoir pillows on the gaps.
