So, by overlapping the pillows in descending order together, the pillows look like a pyramid. Also, you can style by mixing the colors and patterns, which can enhance the house more interestingly. These pyramidal ways of arranging can add more depth to your house in terms of style, aesthetics, and organized appearance.

• Flanking pillow arrangement: In this flanking pillow arrangement, the two smaller-sized pillows are placed on either side of the sofa. These pillows are small compared to the central pillows.

• Corner pillow: In this arrangement, the pillows can be placed in the corner of the sofas. It must be in both corners so that the symmetrical arrangement of pillows is maintained.

• Cluster Arrangement: Start with the larger pillow in the corner of the sofa and arrange the small or medium-sized pillow around the larger pillow in a cluster manner. This creates a focal point and allows the other pillows to radiate. In this arrangement, use different colors, shapes, and sizes of the pillow so the arrangement can look more unique and stylish.

• Diagonal Arrangement: In this arrangement, place the pillow in the diagonal series so that the pillow looks more elegant. Place all the pillows in a line on one corner of the sofa to the center of the sofa and make the pillows overlap one another slightly. It creates a sense of movement of the pillow.

• Offset Look: Try to stack the pillows on one side of the sofa and let the other side pillow be spelled out or rest at different unbalanced levels, and this can make an aesthetic pleasing look.

• Mix Up: In this method, try to mix more color and size, like different radiant colors of pillows and different sizes of the pillows, in one corner and make the other end empty. So that it looks more cluster-asymmetric.
