How to style your pillows

This guide is designed to help you style your sectional with confidence using pillows and throws. Whether you’re working with a compact sofa chaise or a large L-shaped sectional, the right combination of scale, quantity, texture, and pattern will elevate your home curating a cohesive designer-approved look.

​

Before choosing pillows or throws, keep these foundational tips in mind:

• ​Scale matters more than quantity: Larger sectionals require larger pillows, not just more of them.

• Odd numbers feel curated: Designers often style in odd groupings (3, 5, 7) to avoid a showroom look.

• Contrast creates depth: Mixing solids, textures, and patterns prevents the sectional from feeling flat.

• Comfort is non-negotiable: Styling should enhance relaxation, not restrict it.
