The Wrong Way to Decorate With Throw Pillows

By Christa Terry

Throw pillows are great, aren’t they? When your couch is just not supportive enough, throw pillows pick up the slack. They make a neat little seat when there is seating overflow, and really wee ones can use throw pillows for all sorts of things. And they’re pretty, too!

But really, enough is enough. If you really need twelve giant throw pillows to make your couch comfy, it’s time to get a new couch. Or if you find yourself sitting on the very edge of the couch, it’s probably time to reevaluate how you’re using throw pillows. This image above is not it, but there’s definitely a right way to use ’em, so I recommend grabbing some cute throw pillows like these:

    I’d argue that couch isn’t even something that’s designed for anyone to sit upon. Everything about it screams “Don’t sit on me, don’t disturb the pillows that’ve been so carefully arranged, go find a folding chair somewhere.”

    It’s a couch-shaped easel for the display of throw pillows.

    I agree that too many pillows do not look good. But if you are going to decorate your couch with throw pillows, how many pillows would you say is the max on a standard couch?
