How can some living rooms appear professionally done even with just a handful of cushions? Sometimes, it’s about a combination of shapes, not more accessories.
A rectangular pillow can split a line of square cushions, provide additional comfort, and create an unexpected design element for a sofa or bed.
Give Your Sofa a More Interesting Shape
A sofa covered with all square cushions can sometimes be boring. One rectangular accent = contrast = more intentional. Decorative lumbar pillows also provide support behind the lower back when you're relaxing or reading.
If you are choosing a Lumbar Pillow Cover, take the measurements of your sofa into account. A shorter version is appropriate for a smaller loveseat, and a longer one can even out a big sectional.
Understand Pillow Sizes Before Shopping
Measurements are important as they could result in a cover that looks loose, stretched, or misshapen.
If you are looking for accent chairs, common sofas, and layered bedding, 12 x 20 is a good size to consider. This is particularly true for square pillows and 12x20 pillow covers.
Longer option – 14x36, making a noticeable horizontal accent on larger beds and sofas.
Please check the insert dimensions before ordering. For lumbar pillow covers 12x20 or 14x36, be certain that the product listing includes the finished size of the cover, not an approximate size.

Pay Attention to the Finishing Details
Pay attention to the stitching, quality of the fabric, and closure. Convenience is the key with using pillow covers that have a zipper closure as you can take them off and wipe them clean and can even change the designs when you refresh your décor.
Match colors and prints with the rest of the furniture rather than matching each and every accessory. If you can find a bit of contrast, it will often look natural and collected.
Keep Your Covers Looking Fresh
Always follow the manufacturer's care directions when washing. Fabrics or printed materials might need to be gently cleaned with natural materials. Never use harsh bleach, dry covers thoroughly before storage, and turn frequently used covers over to even out the use.
One Simple Detail, A More Thoughtful Room
Decorating doesn't always involve a new sofa, fresh paint, or expensive accessories. It may be only a single cushion, but its shape and texture can make an impact on how different a space feels. Look at patterns, try out proportions, and select a pattern that suits your home.
