Throw pillows are essential to making your home feel inviting and peaceful. Simply adding throw pillows to a sofa, chaise or even a bed can create a warmer living space. What we love about throw pillows is their versatility. You can switch up any number of pillows for completely different looks on one piece.

Once you know how to mix size, pattern, and material, you’ll be ready to start throwing your pillows together!
