Pillow styling tips
Number of pillows
Whether on the bed, the sofa or an XL armchair: the ideal number of cushions always depends on the size of the interior object and, of course, on personal taste. A large sofa or bed needs lots of cushions to add style and warmth to a room.

Size and shape of the pillows
The combination of cushions of different sizes, which can be stacked on top of and in front of each other, looks very stylish. Round cushions are also very trendy at the moment – especially on sofas and armchairs. So feel free to play with the shapes. You can give a room a modern and trendy update in no time at all.

materials of the cushions
Mix the materials too. It doesn’t matter whether pillows are made of linen, silk, cotton or knitwear: the contrasts look very exciting in a mix.
cushion colors
Don’t use too many pillow colors as this can make a room look very busy and cluttered. Also, never choose more than three eye-catching colors. For a harmonious ambience, interior specialists recommend limiting yourself to one color family and combining it with subtle colors such as white, black, beige and brown. When choosing a color, also pay attention to the environment and use the color of the wall or carpet as a guide, for example.
pattern on pillows
Restraint is also required when it comes to patterned cushions. Too many patterns can quickly create a turbulent picture. Used in moderation, however, they definitely give a sofa or armchair that certain something.
