The StoneGable Pillow Arrangement
As a self-professed pillow queen, I take great pleasure in arranging pillows. For my everyday pillow arrangement, I tuck our "sleeping" pillows behind the euro shams (26" x 26"), which stand on end leaning against the headboard. A decorative cheetah pillow (18" x 18") on the diagonal goes between the euro shams, and a "bumpy, lumpy" white pillow (20" x 20") is placed in front of the diagonal pillow. The centerpiece is a long Mongolian lumbar bed pillow (16" x 36") perfectly centered on the bed, with the same diagonal pillow in front.
My bedroom boasts a monochromatic color palette, creating a soothing ambiance. I find solace in the visual serenity of my bedroom after working with colors and decor all day.
Clean and Simple Pillow Arrangement
If you're in need of a quick and easy way to style your bed pillows, this arrangement is perfect for you. Simply place three euro sham pillows across the top of your bed, tucking your bed pillows behind them. It creates a clean and minimalist look.
Simple Plus One
For a touch of style, add one more pillow to your bed arrangement. I suggest placing a square pillow (18" x 18") in front of the long lumbar pillow. To make a statement, choose a pillow with a bold design or pattern. Animal prints, for instance, add a unique touch and ensure your front pillow gets noticed.
The 3-2-1 Arrangement
Adding a pop of color to your master bedroom can create a vibrant atmosphere. Borrowing pillows from your living room, consider the 3-2-1 arrangement. Place three euro shams against the headboard, two pillows side by side in the center, and a smaller long lumbar pillow in front. You can even include an additional smaller lumbar pillow if you can't resist the allure of pillows!

The Casual 3-2-3 Bed Pillow Arrangement
Arranging pillows on your bed offers countless possibilities, ranging from formal to casual. If you prefer a casual look, try the 3-2-3 arrangement. Begin with three euro shams against the bed, place two pillows in the center, and casually toss three pillows in the front. Embrace the imperfections and let them fall naturally, but be sure to aim for the bed and not the floor!
The Symmetrical 3-2-2 Pillow Arrangement
If you have a preference for symmetry, the 3-2-2 arrangement will delight you. Simply add two large pillows (22" x 22") sandwiched between three euro shams and two decorative pillows (18" x 18"). The result is an elegant and balanced look that will transform your bed into a stunning focal point.
The Full Designer Look: 3-2-1 Plus 1
For those who adore a bed filled with pillows, this arrangement is for you. Prepare to be captivated by the layers of luxurious pillows that create a visual masterpiece. Start with three euro pillows, followed by two large pillows, a long lumbar pillow, and then a pretty decorative pillow in front. Your bed will become a haven of comfort and style.
When it's time to sleep, the question arises: what do you do with all those gorgeous pillows? If you have a spacious bedroom, a large basket dedicated to your pillows is a fantastic idea. However, if space is limited, consider piling your pillows on a settee next to the bed or even stacking them neatly on the floor. Remember, there are no rules when it comes to where you store your pillows at night.
That concludes our exploration of eight diverse bed pillow arrangements. I hope you feel inspired to experiment with your pillows and create a harmonious and inviting ambiance in your bedroom. Let your creativity run wild and make your bed a delightful sanctuary!
