Pillows

Pillows are the quickest way to shift a room's color and texture. This collection covers square throw pillows from 16 to 24 inches, lumbar pillows around 12 x 20 inches, and pillow covers, in cotton, linen, wool blends, faux leather and cowhide. Patterns include stripes, florals, plaids, diamonds, chevrons and solids, with tassel, fringe and embroidered details.

A simple formula for a sofa: two larger solids at the ends, a patterned pair in front, and one lumbar in the center. Finish the look with throw blankets and see outdoor pillows for the patio.

How to mix and size throw pillows

A good pillow arrangement balances scale, pattern and texture. Start with the size of your seating and work inward.

  • Match pillow size to the sofa. Deep sofas suit 22 or 24 inch pillows; standard sofas and accent chairs look right with 18 or 20 inch pillows.
  • Layer sizes front to back. Place the largest pillows against the arms, then smaller squares or a lumbar in front.
  • Vary pattern scale. Combine one large pattern, one small pattern such as a narrow stripe, and one solid in a shared color.
  • Add texture. Cotton next to linen, wool or faux cowhide keeps a single-color scheme from looking flat.
  • On a bed, line up two large squares against the headboard and finish with one lumbar.

Zippered covers make seasonal swaps and washing simple; check each product for whether an insert is included. Our guide on how to mix throw pillows has more combinations, and decorative throw pillows lists square styles by color.
