Selecting the Right Pillow Sizes
When designing your nook, variety is key. Different pillow sizes contribute to a layered look that's dynamic and inviting. Start with larger pillows as the base, such as 22"-24" squares, which can support your back or serve as a foundation on a bench or daybed. As you layer forward, introduce medium-sized pillows, around 18"-20”, which add comfort and depth. Finally, incorporate smaller, accent pillows like 16" squares or lumbar pillows to infuse a touch of style and detail.

Choosing Colors and Patterns
Color and pattern coordination play crucial roles in the aesthetic appeal of your nook. Begin by selecting a color palette that complements your surrounding decor. Monochromatic schemes create a serene, sophisticated look, while contrasting hues can create a focal point.
Introduce subtle patterns for added interest without overwhelming the senses. The Astor Designer Pillow Cover | Blush is an excellent choice for a soft touch of elegance.
Embracing Texture
Texture is the secret ingredient to a well-designed nook. Mixing different materials like cotton, velvet, or linen adds dimension and richness to your space. Experiment with the Laval Pillow Cover to inject a layered tactile feel, elevating both look and touch.
Strategic Placement
The arrangement of your pillows is as important as their selection. Balance and symmetry can create a harmonious setting. Opt for a symmetrical setup if your nook features a central piece of furniture, like a cushioned bench. For asymmetrical arrangements, make sure to distribute different sizes and textures evenly to maintain visual interest.
