Transforming Your Space One Throw Pillow at a Time

Want to know my go-to for cheap and easy ways to transform a living room or bedroom? Throw Pillows!!! They can be relatively inexpensive and a great option for a room refresh without having to buy all knew furniture. Just swap out some pillows and you’ve got a whole new look!

Above is a standard couch in a neutral surrounding. At first glance this is a seemingly neutral and somewhat uninteresting landscape, but with a little bit of imagination and the right combo of throw pillows you can turn it into any style you could imagine.

In this example I have created a tropical jungle vibe. By using brightly colored pillows that exemplify nature found in the jungle I have created a vibrant theme. I chose animal prints, patterns with bright tropical foliage, and scenes with animals like tigers and jaguars. This fun combination brings something unexpected and wild to an otherwise neutral space.

For this example I chose a more Moroccan/Boho style. I used lots of natural fabrics, tassels and stayed within a black and white theme with just a few pops of color to add interest. This look is very different from the first example and was created by only swapping out the throw pillows.

In this last example I went with a glamorous look of luxury. By choosing deeper jeweled tones and velvety fabrics, you can make a space feel so much more sophisticated and upscale. With the help of some well chosen throw pillows this expensive look can be achieved without actually spending a lot!
