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.
Two bed pillows two standard shams two 26 20 pillows one smaller pillow.
Any arrangement can be adapted for a king or california king size bed by adding a third column of pillows.
In fact you might just be that much cosier when you arrange pillows right.
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.
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.
Place your accent pillows at the forefront of the arrangement either centered or offset slightly.
Center two euro pillows in front of them followed by your two remaining standard pillows.
Start with three euros then tow 18 x 18 pillows followed by two 16 x 16 pillows and three 12 x 15 pillows.
Formula from back to front.
Add a third column.
For minimalist arrangements use 6 standard pillows instead of 4.
Use euro inserts that are one or two inches larger than the european sham cover to yield a full and rounded pillow.
The smaller size does not mean lesser comfort.
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.
