It changes a room more than its size suggests.* Also asked as: 20 inch round pillows?; Do you make throw pillows? > **The quick answer:** Yes for flat round pillows, made to size such as 20 in (51 cm) across; spherical, fringed and cord-edged pillows are checked with the production team case by case.

To quote, send measurements, a reference image, and filled or covers only. ![Mustard and rust textured bouclé throw pillows with self piping on a cream linen sofa, terracotta teapot and bougainvillea](https://cushionguide.com/media/throw-pillows/mustard-rust-textured-throw-pillows-linen-sofa-1600.webp "A golden pair: mustard and rust pillows set against lime plaster and a spray of bougainvillea.") ## Key facts - Flat round pillows are made to size, such as 20 in (51 cm) across. - Throw pillows come filled or as covers only. - Pillows can be made in matching or contrasting fabric, including the fabric and piping of an earlier order. - Spherical, fringed and cord-edged pillows are checked with the production team before they're confirmed. - A quote needs the measurements and a reference image. ## What to send for a round or unusual pillow - ✓ **The diameter**, for a flat round: 16 in (41 cm), 20 in (51 cm), whatever the sofa asks for. - ✓ **The size across**, for a sphere. One request was 12 in (30 cm). - ✓ **A reference image** of the shape, the edge and any fringe or cord. - ✓ **Filled, or covers only.** - ✓ **The fabric**, matching your cushions or contrasting.

A sphere, a fringe or a cord edge is a different construction, so the team looks before it says yes. That is care, not reluctance. Start with the [throw pillows](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/throw-pillows/) you already have, then add one shape. The Pattern on [matching throw and lumbar pillows](https://cushionguide.com/guides/matching-throw-pillows-lumbar-pillows/) helps with fabric and [piping](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#piping), and the [pillow cover studio](https://cushionguide.com/studio/pillow-cover-studio/) lets you try sizes first. Which shape is missing from your sofa? A square frames. A circle interrupts. One round pillow is often enough. > **Tailor's margin:** A flat round pillow is made to its diameter, such as 20 in; a spherical or fringed pillow is checked with production before anyone says yes. > Two 20 in round pillows beside one 22 x 22 in square, in matching or contrasting fabric: a flat round pillow is made to size like any square. > > — Hana ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Do you make throw pillows to match my cushions, round ones too? **The workshop's answer:** Yes, in any size, in matching or contrasting fabric; send measurements and a reference image. Past orders included two 14 x 14 in filled pillows in an earlier order's fabric and piping, and a 22 x 22 in square with two 20 in flat rounds. **A common question:** Can your team sew decorative pillows that are round, spherical, fringed or corded? **The workshop's answer:** The workshop took a request for 15-20 in squares, a 12 in spherical pillow and a 16 in flat round pillow, and checked feasibility with its production team before confirming. **A common question:** Can I see photos of finished pieces before I buy? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. Ask in messages and the workshop sends real customer photos and videos, close-ups of details, or links to similar finished pieces. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Is there a warranty on custom cushions? Warranty terms come from the workshop, not from this site, so ask for them in writing before you order. If a defect appears, send a photo and keep your order conversation handy. ### The pillow listing says sold out. Can I still order? Yes. Sold out only means the listing's stock count ran low. Message the workshop and the listing is restocked, usually the same day; if checkout still fails, a private custom link is sent. ### Can a round pillow match the piping on my seat cushion? Yes. Pillows have been made in the same fabric and piping as a buyer's earlier order, and contrasting fabric is an option too. Quote the fabric and piping codes from your first order when you ask. ## Related at the atelier - [Can you make throw pillows to match my cushion or sofa?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/matching-throw-pillows-same-fabric/): Yes, matching throw pillows are made in the same fabric as your bench cushion, floor cushion or sofa, in any size, as covers only or filled, with zippered covers that come off to wash. - [Custom Throw Pillows in Taupe Boucle for a Beige Linen Sofa](https://cushionguide.com/readings/taupe-boucle-throw-pillow-beige-linen-sofa/): For a calm beige linen sofa, choose one custom throw pillow a single shade darker, such as taupe boucle, rather than a contrast color. - [Custom Throw Pillows, Mustard to Cream: Order by Code](https://cushionguide.com/readings/mustard-caramel-cream-boucle-pillows-scandi-sofa/): To order custom throw pillows that match a room, choose by fabric code, not by screen: request swatches, compare them in daylight against the sofa, then send one message with every size, code and… - [Custom Throw Pillows in Rust and Cream Bouclé, Season by Season](https://cushionguide.com/readings/rust-cream-boucle-pillows-oatmeal-sofa-window-light/): A pair of custom throw pillows in bouclé works all year when the darker one, here rust, stands upright at the back and the cream one leans in front. - [Can you make matching throw pillows in the same fabric as my cushion?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/matching-throw-pillows-same-fabric-cushion/): Yes, matching throw pillows can be made in the same fabric as your cushion, in any color and any size, as covers only or filled. - [Should I get piping on my cushions or not?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/piping-or-no-piping-cushions/): Piping is a style choice, not an upgrade: cushions cost the same with or without it. - [Matching throw pillows and lumbars to a seat cushion, color by color](https://cushionguide.com/guides/matching-throw-pillows-lumbar-pillows/) - [How to match a new cushion to your sofa, paint or wallpaper](https://cushionguide.com/guides/match-cushion-to-sofa-paint-wallpaper/) *— Hana* --- Written by Hana Lindqvist (https://cushionguide.com/masters/hana/) for CushionGuide (https://cushionguide.com/about/).
