When styling a queen-sized bed, the foundation of a great pillow arrangement starts with large, plush pillows. We'll walk you through some different options for laying out your pillows, ensuring both comfort and aesthetic appeal. Whether you prefer a minimalist approach or a more luxurious, layered look, this guide will help you achieve the perfect setup to elevate your bedroom's style.
A popular styling recommendation for queen-sized beds is to start with two 26x26" throw pillows, followed by either a large lumbar or bolster pillow. This arrangement provides both visual balance and comfort, creating a welcoming and sophisticated look in any bedroom.

For those who prefer a fuller look, read on for more styles. First, we'll explore a foundation consisting of 20x30-inch shams. These larger pillows provide ample coverage and a plush appearance on a queen-sized bed, enhancing the overall volume and comfort. From here, we could add two 20x20" throw pillows, followed by a bolster pillow.

Another option is to pair two 18x18-inch pillows with a large lumbar pillow in front of the shams. This arrangement adds depth and variety to your bedding ensemble.
An alternative arrangement that adds substantial volume is to begin with three 24x24-inch pillows as the foundation. This setup offers a rich, full backdrop for your bedding. From this point, the direction you take can vary based on personal taste:
For the Minimalists: Keeping it simple yet impactful, we suggest adding just one more pillow to make a statement. Consider incorporating a large bolster or lumbar pillow to tie your arrangement together, ensuring it stands out with boldness and style.

For the Layer Lovers: If you love a plush, layered look, consider adding two additional square pillows in front of the three foundational pillows to dramatically transform the appearance. Depending on your preference, choose either two 18x18-inch or two 20x20-inch pillows for the second row.
