What Your Pillow Arrangement Says About Your Style

120108_pillow01.jpgWould you describe your style as romantic? Or perhaps traditional? House Beautiful's December issue has a fun spread, featuring Dwell Studio bedding, that links your style to the way you arrange your pillows. Check out your own style after the jump...

A TAILORED pillow arrangement could mean that you are organized and that your ducks are in a row.

The MODERNIST prefers to lay pillows flat and organized.

If you perfectly prop the pillows with a single accent pillow then you are TRADITIONAL by nature.

Lots of pillows, including ruffles, may be a sign of someone who is ROMANTIC.

A BOHEMIAN personality likes to toss the pillows although keep some coordination as well.

Ah, so I'm a Bohemian for having my pillows every which way. I have to remember that next time someone accuses me of being merely a slob.

My style is whatever takes the least amount of effort to look presentable!

As a guy I don't want things "pretty" anyway; although I do still want things to look neat and not sloppy. Fortunately my girlfriend has very similar taste to mine. Modernist all the way...

All options have too many pillow. But I'm not ultra modern or bohemian...I I just have allergies.

According to the list I'm a modernist, but really I just like the look better.

This test accurately diagnoses me as a modernist, especially in the bedroom. The whole pillows-on-display thing baffles me. And I am not generally opposed to abundant decorative flourishes.

My pillows landed on the floor. Now the dogs are sleeping on them.

Tailored? Me? No way. I am a bit like holland at times, actually.

Traditional bohemian is the way for me! Traditional bohemian, Is that an oxymoron?

One pillow on a bed= traditional...? Well, not me. Actually, what it means is I could only afford one nice pillow. (I'd rather have one perfect pillow that I spent $$$ on rather than a bunch of mediocre ones...)
