Do you have a reading nook, sofa, guest room or a space you want to spruce up? Using throw pillows is a simple way to refresh your home, bringing a little attitude and a whole lot of warmth. Because we love how throw pillows can make a huge impact in a room, we’ve put together this guide to using these design treasures. And don’t worry—every pillow featured is under $35.
Decorating fundamentals
If you’re working with a small budget, look at updating your room as a fun challenge. Choose a room and then create a list of “must-haves.” Think small—a combination of inexpensive wall art, affordable throw pillows and a blanket or two can create fun energy in a tired room. These details will pull the room together. Keep in mind to decorate in odd numbers for the best visual appeal. For a relaxed vibe, go with three pillows or make your bed a palace with thirteen!
Sources of inspiration
Throw pillows are one of the best accessories for furniture. Just as jewelry completes an outfit, pillows can tie a room together.
Pillows add comfort and they are a good go-to design element to add a pop of personality. Use a variety of materials and prints to add texture and interest and make a room feel full of cozy hygge. Think about the things in your home that you love, and use that as inspiration to influence your pillow selections. Pillows make your home look luxurious, even if you don’t spend a lot of cash.

Personal vision
Want to achieve a certain style? For a farmhouse look, use neutral pillows in various textures and patterns to warm up your space. Play with sizes and shapes, too—oversized, circular, rectangle, bolster are just a few.
For an eclectic approach, focus on bright pops of color. Look for fun prints and textures: think embroidery, fringe, fuzzy, tasseled, beaded, or even pompoms.

The best part about these throw pillows is that the covers are machine washable. So, no worries if they get a little dirty!
