The Easy Seasonal Decor Trick You’re Overlooking — And 11 “Cute” and “Cozy” Options Under $75
While it sounds fun in theory, overhauling my decor for the festive seasons isn’t all that easy. First, there’s the storage issue. Where will all the strands of spooky ghost garland and bulky pumpkin paraphernalia go once fall has come and gone? Your guess is as good as mine. Then, there’s the cost. Sure, there are deals to be had, but all those purchases can add up fast. Which brings me to the seasonal decorating “hack” you might be overlooking: throw pillow covers.
Hear me out — instead of buying a ton of new decorations every year, I’ll be buying easy-to-swap fall pillow covers for the throw pillows I already own. This helps me save cash without skimping on the fun fall feels. Read on to see why you should consider doing the same — and for our coziest, most stylish picks for the season.
Why I’m Switching Out My Throw Pillow Covers for Fall
I spend the bulk of my time at home on my couch anyway, so concentrating my fall decor efforts here makes the most sense (I can always keep the festive vibes going throughout my home with a scented candle or diffuser). “Efforts” is used lightly, because pillow covers are beyond easy to swap — and storing them even more so (just fold them flat and tuck them in a drawer). It’s the kind of low-lift, space-saving change I can see myself sticking with for years to come. I can’t say the same about lugging out a heavy box of jack-o’-lanterns every year, you know?
Besides, buying two or three pillow covers is also way more cost-effective than splurging on heaps of decorations every season. Not to mention, these can be washed or spot-cleaned, and used again and again. And with the holidays speeding into view, I want to save where I can.
For a home accent, pillow covers can have a surprisingly transformative effect on your living room. The right cover will warm up even the plainest of couches faster than you can say “pumpkin spice latte,” all while enriching your living space with plush, snuggly textures and delightful seasonal motifs. To spare you the homework of tracking down these cozy fall pillow covers yourself, I scoured the internet to find the most stylish, budget-friendly options.
