A good rule of thumb.
How to style a queen bed with pillows.
Use a pair of large euro square pillows to add height to the bed and layer in pattern or texture.
Two standard pillows in beige two large decorative pillows and two small textured decorative pillows in a blush hue are stacked upright on top.
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.
Place your accent pillows at the forefront of the arrangement either centered or offset slightly.
For reference my bed is a queen but these looks also work on a king sized bed.
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.
Use 3 euro squares for a king bed.
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.
Center two euro pillows in front of them followed by your two remaining standard pillows.
Two bed pillows two standard shams two 26 20 pillows one smaller pillow.
Match these to your sheets or use them to layer in another color or pattern.
Match your euro shams to your duvet or quilt.
Here a freshly pressed bright blue quilt is topped with a plush vintage blanket at the foot of the bed.
They are a nice weight and i love the sewn detailed pattern that makes the bedding look extra fluffy.
If you prefer a simpler lighter style then use 3 euros with one rectangle or decorative pillow in front.
Start your queen size pillow arrangement by propping two standard pillows up against your headboard.
My last project was a modern home with transitional decor.
