A square pillow has four equal sides, the shape most sofas and beds are built around, working as a small accent or a deep back cushion depending on how big it is; the elongated lumbar form sits under rectangle pillow. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep square pillows in the standard runs.
Which square pillow size suits a sofa versus a bed?
For a sofa, a twenty to twenty-two inch square pillow reads generous, eighteen inches suits a smaller settee, and a bed layers larger squares behind the sleeping pillows; finer versions sit under luxury throw pillows. Match the size to seat depth so the pillow fills the corner.
How do I layer square pillows with lumbar shapes?
Square pillows layer with a lumbar shape when the squares sit behind for height and the long cushion in front for support, mixing a print with plain in a shared palette, as our throw pillows show. An odd number across a sofa looks easier than a matched pair.
How do I fluff and store square pillows?
To store square pillows off-season, knock them back into shape, slip them into a cloth bag rather than sealed plastic, and keep them somewhere dry rather than a damp loft; a good luxury pillow insert recovers its loft after airing. Give them a shake before they go away.
