Decorative Pillow Cover

Decorative pillow cover in a 60/40 linen-cotton blend at 260 gsm with a hidden YKK zip and self-piped edge — available in 8 sizes from 16 × 16 in. to 28 × 28 in. and 15 solid colors plus 4 seasonal patterns. Our decorative pillow cover uses proper Belgian flax linen (not cotton-blend “faux linen”) on a woven cotton base, so it softens with each wash rather than pilling.

Why we make one decorative pillow cover in 8 sizes rather than one size 8 ways

Most decorative pillow covers are made in one size — 18 × 18 in. or 20 × 20 in. — and everything else is a variant that got squeezed onto whatever cloth was left over. That is why the 24 × 24 in. version is usually thinner cloth, and the 16 × 16 in. version usually skips the piping. We make the same 60/40 linen-cotton blend in every size, with the same hidden YKK zip and self-piped edge, so a bed styled with 26 × 26 in. Euros in front of 20 × 20 in. squares and a 14 × 22 in. lumbar reads as one arrangement rather than three cover suppliers.

Layering a decorative pillow cover arrangement

Sofa: two 24 × 24 in. Euros at the back corners, two 20 × 20 in. squares layered in front, a single 14 × 22 in. lumbar center. Bed: two 26 × 26 in. Euros against the headboard, two 20 × 20 in. sleeping pillowcases in front, one 14 × 22 in. lumbar or 18 × 18 in. accent center.

How to care for your decorative pillow cover

• Machine wash cool on a normal cycle
• Tumble low or hang while damp
• Zip closed before washing
• Skip fabric softener — dulls yarn-dyed color and stonewashed hand

Frequently asked questions

What is the standard size decorative pillow cover?

18 × 18 in. is the most common. 20 × 20 in. is what a designer typically specifies for the back of a deeper sofa or the head end of a made bed. 26 × 26 in. is the Euro pillow size.

Does a decorative pillow cover include the insert?

No — the cover is sold separately. Order the insert one inch larger than the cover so the cover fills to the corners.

Are decorative pillow covers machine washable?

Yes — cool wash, low tumble. Zip closed before washing.

Do the decorative pillow cover patterns fade?

Yarn-dyed doesn’t fade appreciably. Ours are yarn-dyed at the thread rather than surface-printed.
