I read this amusingly accurate article the other day. It's by House Beautifu (http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/how-to-arrange-pillows-1110)l. They claim that how you arrange your cushions reveals clues to your personality. Here is their article:
Pillow Talk: What Does Your Pillow Arranging Style Say About You?
Are you classic or casual? Romantic or relaxed? It turns out that how you arrange your pillows can reveal clues to your psyche.
If Your Pillows Are Asymmetrical
Are your pillows tossed about in any which way? Do you arrange your pillows without a particular order? Your unfussy style says that you are a relaxed, bohemian type who's easygoing and open to new experiences.
Tip: Stick to the same color scheme when selecting pillows, but try using different prints and patterns to mix up the look.

If Your Pillows Are Balanced, but Have a Single Accent
Do you prop pillows the classical way, but throw the symmetry off with one extra bolster? Do you prefer when something doesn't look too perfect? If so, your style is traditional with a twist. You're never too prim and proper — but you aren't given to the latest trends either.

If Your Pillows Are Precisely Stacked
Are your pillows tiered, trim, and level? Does clutter on the nightstands (or anywhere) drive you crazy? This systematic, monastic tower of pillows indicates you have a modernist style. If someone saw your bed, they would probably guess that you're artistic, creative, and intellectual.

If Your Pillows Are Delicate and Decorative
Are your pillows an exuberant array of Euro-square, cases, shams, boudoirs, and neck rolls? Do designs without embellishment feel cold and unwelcoming to you? If you're drawn to a dreamy, whimsical look, then you're a romantic. You prefer frilly and feminine to streamlined and rigid and are a firm believer that more is more.

If Your Pillows Are Perfectly Symmetrical
Do you consider yourself organized? Keeping all your ducks in a row — and your pillows too — means you have a tailored, classic style. This look is best for someone who is detail-orientated, organized, and orderly.

So which one are you?
