I have 4....two patterns. I'm always tossing them on the floor save one when I want to stretch out on the couch. They are a bit of a pain together with the throw but room would be too plain without them

I have two on the end that I always sit on.

Two on the sofa, two on the loveseat next to it...nothing special, as the TV is there and no one wants the pillows, but me (LOL).

But in the dining room, a small loveseat has three pillows and it's adorable! And they're comfortable, too. More for reading, than watching TV :)

The family room sofa has 4, and the living room sofa has 2. They generally stay on the sofa. There's a sofa in the playroom that is supposed to have 3, but they often get moved around.

two on each end. So, 4 all together and that is one both sofas.

I like the look of three pillows on a sofa your size. Matching on each end, then a contrasting smaller one for the left, or whichever side balances the room. That is beautiful fabric. A throw could also go on the side with less pillows.

I am down to 2. I have had 4 and sometimes 3 with one being a lumbar shape. But I'm tired of tossing them around so have minimized for now. I think with your sofa, I would go with 2 to start in that beautiful pattern. Then if you think you need more, add later. With only 2 sofa cushions, I don't think more pillows are necessary. As suggested, a throw might be best.

Are you having the pillows made? I would do them a bit larger and add some fringe trim, so the 2 pillows will be plenty.

I have 2 on each sofa for when I want to stretch out. When company comes I remove them because people don't seem to want to sit up against them.

I love it, and wish I could use those colors. Just an FYI, and something I found out while doing a search for toile:toile is usually only two colors.Chinoserie is multi colors w/Oriental design/pattern.

Would you post the site please? I'm looking for something with a cobolt blue pattern. TIA

2 pillows on the couch. Even those get moved. I can't think about more.

We currently have 2 on the large sofa and 1 on the smaller sofa in our 'snug', but make up for this with a whopping 9 on the window seat! Other sofas in the house have 2 or 3, but I've just had a major clear out and got rid of about 8 ;)

I think 2 would be adequate on each of your new sofas.

Forgot to say, that fabric is adorable!

I have too many (9 total for couch, loveseat, and wingback), and they're always getting thrown on the floor when we're in the room. They only look good when they're freshly arranged.

I think two large, or three, with one being smaller, is sufficient.

I think it depends on the depth.

Chispa - yes my mom is making them for me. I'm thinking 24 square ? With piping to match the curtains.

Patty Cakes look up robert Allen neo toile. The color I'm getting is cove but kswl got the coral. I think it comes in a navy color as well.

Bumblebee I can't remember the exact depth but the couches are not super deep. I tried some of those out and They were uncomfortable for me. These are average depth.

I'm glad so many people only have two!

One of my pet peeves is too many sofa pillows...unless you have a sofa that's never used. My personal rule of thumb is 3: two big (20") matching ones, plus one smaller non-matching.

24" is pretty darn big so just double check that they won't overpower your sofa.

Just two rectangular/lumbar type. I use them to prop up my arms and the iPad.

I use one on the sofa and one on the matching loveseat. I think when you have loose back cushions, fewer throw pillows look better.

Only two, and they can still get in the way! Love the fabric and sofa. Who makes the sofa?

I love pillows! I swap mine out occasionally. Right now on the great room sofa there are 4 pillows. I think my larger 2 are 22" and they are not too large for my sofa. Especially when you put a smaller pillow in front. At other times I will have 1 square pillow on each end, then on one end I will have a smaller, contrasting rectangular pillow. The sunroom loveseat has two pillows. I just ordered a long (36") rectangular pillow for the loveseat in the office, hope I like it!

I have a ridiculous number of pillows right now. But the chairs and loveseats are fairly deep and mom being elderly likes to be able to arrange to sit a bit further forward. Plus they are all feather inserts so they squish really easy. I forgot to see if any got tossed aside when we had a house full and they all seemed to be in the same place the next day so I guess no one had too big of an issue....or they figured I would shoot them for putting them on the floor...lol More likely is there just is not room in the room

Too many! I'm a softy for softies, though. I agree with Kippy that the squishy down ones are my favorites.

if I am having company, I put 4 or sometimes 5 or 6 (depending on season!) but for every day, my hub constantly is tossing pillows aside, so I tend to keep them off... I keep 2 comfy (and not as pretty) pillows on one end or very nearby to prop under my head or legs if I am watching tv at night...

I have 5 per couch, and two couches. Nobody throws them to the floor, but DH does pile them up on whatever part of the couch he is not on. They look lovely when they are all "fluffed" and arranged, but we use them a lot, too, for propping up books, laptops, napping or just support.

Due to an elderly semi-continent dog, we cannot have rugs at this time and I feel the added pillows (we used to have just 2 or 3 per couch) brings a little more softness/cozy to the room, which otherwise has a lot of wood.

Two large ones on the big couch, at each end, one large one on the love seat. We use them to lean back on, any extras would be in the way and get tossed off.

Love your couch and fabric choice, Butternut!
