Everyone has a pillow formula. Some people like a bunch of mismatched pillows, some like a totally symmetrical look etc... I personally like two solid pillows on either end of the couch, then I like two printed colorful pillows in front of those, and then I sometimes throw in another different pillow in the middle of the couch, sometimes its a lumbar.
