A good couch or bed is hard to come by, but a good throw pillow is a different story. In fact, the right one is a great remedy for any sofa or chair that you feel just bleh about it. You can change your pillows out from season to season, switch up your color palette, or try a new aesthetic without the hassle or cost of actually overhauling a space. Consider throw pillows—and other home decor—like accessories for your home. We all agree on the power of accessories, right? Whether you prefer spots or stripes, silly phrases or muted tones, there’s a throw pillow or pillow case for any and every mood, I promise you that.
