The Best Throw Pillows for An Elevated, Guest-Ready Home

Can you believe these pillows are all $35 and under? It’s true.

Sprucing up your home for the holidays doesn’t need to be a daunting, expensive task.

As we enter the season of giving, my goal is to help make holiday prep easy, affordable, and fun for you—and throw pillows are one of the quickest ways to make that happen! Adding a fresh color or pattern to your space provides an instant glow-up, bringing new life to any room. These budget-friendly pillows are perfect for a quick seasonal update without the commitment of an investment piece you may not love in five years.

I’ve done all the online ordering (and returning!) for you, testing most of these pillows myself to make sure they’re up to par. This edit has a color story for everyone; I spent serious time scrolling, ordering, and curating options to cover all color schemes. Whether you’re looking for bold blues, soft pinks, rich burgundies, or understated neutrals, you’ll find the perfect fit for your home here. And with many of these available in pairs, they’re even more budget-friendly—all under $35!

Quick Tips for Perfect Pillows

GO BIGGER: Use an insert one size up from your cover—for a 20x20 pillowcase, grab a 22x22 insert. Trust me, that extra fluff makes all the difference. I’ve used these inserts which have stood the test of time and look great!

FLUFF LIKE YOU MEAN IT: Don’t just set those pillows down—give them a real toss onto the ground a few times to get those feathers fluffed up. A good throw or two will bring out that plush, full look. Bonus: it’s therapeutic!
