Choose the right pillow cover size.

Most rooms look best with a simple mix of square and lumbar pillow covers.

45 X 45 cmBest everyday square for sofas, accent chairs, and layered beds.

50 X 50 cmA fuller square for larger sofas, king beds, and relaxed lounge styling.

30 X 50 cmA lumbar shape for front layering, benches, and chair backs.

40 X 40 cmA smaller square for compact chairs, kids rooms, and tighter corners.

For a sofa

Start with two 50 X 50 cm covers at the back, then layer one 45 X 45 cm or one 30 X 50 cm cover in front.

Use larger square covers behind smaller squares, then finish with a lumbar cover for a clean hotel-style layer.

For a fuller look, choose inserts that match the cover size or are 1 to 2 inches larger.
