The decorative pillow situation has gone too far.

A sofa should be somewhere to sit, not a puzzle you have to solve.

A sofa has one job. A straightforward, ancient, remarkably uncontroversial job: to be sat on.

And yet here it is, seventy percent cushion, twenty percent tiny blanket, ten percent theoretical seating. Before relaxing, one must relocate an entire textile collection.

The decorative pillow is furniture’s out-of-office message. “Comfort is currently unavailable. Please leave your body elsewhere.”

One pillow is an accessory. Twelve pillows is a barricade. We should be able to agree on this.

End of thought. For now.More where that came from

Another rabbit hole?
