Three Easy Pillow Arrangements: Queen & King Beds

Building on last week’s post filled with designer-inspired pillow combos, I’m back to share some ideas for how to style them! This week, we’ll focus on three easy pillow arrangements for both king and queen beds. If you’ve ever wondered how to arrange the pillows on your bed, you’ve landed in the right place!

Below you’ll find two cheat sheets that will give you the sizes and shapes you’ll need to create these looks. Then, all you need to do is take those sizes, match them up with your pillow designs of choice (I love using Etsy* for decorative pillows), and bring that look to life in your bedroom. And Poof! You’ve got yourself a beautiful, thoughtfully styled bed.

These pillow arrangements are geared toward the idea that “less is more.” I tend to use fewer pillows in my designs - it’s just a little more practical! If you only need to take a few off at night and throw a few on in the morning, you’ll be more motivated to make that bed every day - at least that’s my mindset!

Let’s start with the big boy - the king bed!

For a king bed, here are three easy pillow styling options:

• (2) stacked king pillows (20”x36”) + (3) 24” square pillows + (2) 14”x20” lumbar pillows

• (3) 26” Euro pillows + (2) 24” square pillows + (1) 14”x36” lumbar pillow

• (2) king pillows + (2) standard pillows + (1) 14”x40 (extra long) lumbar

You can vary those sizes a bit depending on the height and shape of your bed, but these are good starting points!

And in case you’re wondering about the sources of any of these pillows, you can find the links to them here…

Now onto pillow setups for a queen bed!

For a queen bed, here are three easy pillow arrangements:

• (2) stacked queen pillows (x2) + (2) 22” square pillows + (1) 14”x20” lumbar pillow

• (2) 26” euro pillow + (2) 22” square pillow + (1) 14”x36” lumbar pillow

• (2) 24” square pillows + (2) 20” square pillows + (1) 14”x20” lumbar pillow

And below you’ll find sources for the pillows shown in this set - there’s some overlap with the king size sets, but I added one new one too!

Don’t forget that you can find other pillow patterns, colors, and styles over on last week’s post too!

Now tell me…which arrangement is your favorite? What are you planning for your bed?
