One question we get asked A LOT is how many pillows do I need for my sectional sofa? While we love to approach each space uniquely and based on personal preference, there are some guidelines we follow to achieve the look of a perfectly styled sectional. And, we love using all of Everand’s beautiful textiles for the refugee women they support. Their work allows them to generate a sustainable income and thrive as individuals as they rebuild their lives in Chicago.
Here we’re going to share some pillow formulas to help you get the look of a pro yourself.
Begin with your biggest pillows first. We use 22"x22" pillows for the 3 corners. They do not need to match, but this is a great place to establish your color palette.
Layer up
Create layers by adding square 20"x20" pillows to each corner. Have fun mixing patterns and textures, as well as playing with the scale of each print.
Add an accent
A lumbar is the perfect pillow to complete your look and add dimension using a different shape. We often use 1 in the center corner, but feel free to add more to the ends if you have a longer sectional.
If you’re still confused, we have here the answers to the 3 most frequently asked questions when it comes to styling pillows on a sectional couch.
- How many pillows do I need?
- What sizes should my pillows be?
- How should I arrange my pillows?
Hopefully, the diagrams below will help you answer all three and send you on your way to pillow nirvana!
