Five Statement-Shaped Throw Pillows to Elevate Your Grey Couch

65

There’s no rule that says all throw pillows need to be square or rectangular! In fact, plenty of people have found success with statement-shaped throw pillows, including heart-shaped and star-shaped designs. If you have a grey couch that needs some style, here are five stylish statement-shaped throw pillows you can decorate with.

Feather Down Alternative Pillow

Made from 100% polyester and filled with feathers, a feather down alternative pillow is slightly more affordable than one made with real feathers but still holds its shape well. With a quick shake before placing back on your bed, you can instantly fluff it up again. These are good options for you if you’re looking for something low maintenance. All you need to do is wash regularly and occasionally air out outside on a sunny day.

Burlap and Hemp Sofa Pillow

Add a dash of pattern and texture with a hemp pillow. Made from burlap and hemp, it’s got an undeniably rustic look that’s perfect for shabby chic or midcentury modern designs. For something more subtle, opt for cotton or linen in a modern hue like black or white. It’ll be especially eye-catching on a natural fiber couch. This throw pillow is one you can actually wash—it has a removable cover made from 100 percent linen. You can machine wash it in cold water, but hang dry only; tumble drying could cause shrinkage. Available at West Elm for $39 (originally $48).

Embroidered Geo Tassel Throw Pillow

The geometric pattern on a soft white cushion gives any grey sofa extra texture. But one geometric pattern doesn’t have to take over your entire home: balance it out with some other bold patterns and textures. For example, go for a brighter couch and offset it with softer lines in your pillow or rug.

Modern Aztec Aztec Tribal Black and White Print Throw Pillow

This black, white and grey throw pillow from Urban Outfitters is bound to bring some depth to your home’s decor. The tribal pattern adds visual interest, while bringing in a bit of exoticism. The bold shape adds a nice pop of style, making it an ideal addition for your grey couch or futon. This unique accent pillow has a fun mix of modern and classic, making it a great addition for your living room or bedroom. Buy: $39

DIY Tasseled Moroccan Jewelry Pouch Decorative Pillow

Use an old vintage piece of jewelry or any tasseled scarf you have lying around and make it into a pillow. That way you can show off your creativity in such a sophisticated way, adding texture, colors and elegance to any room. Plus, it’s always good to know how to make something yourself instead of going out and buying something from a store. This is also a great project for kids who want to learn basic sewing skills! It takes about 20 minutes to make and costs less than $10.

12 Days of Christmas Cozy Accent Pillow: Another one that requires no sewing whatsoever – just some simple knotting – but will add so much style to your living room! All you need are 12 days worth of newspapers (if they aren’t already colored in) plus a string and scissors. You can also add anything else you like inside – small toys, tiny bottles filled with sand, glitter... anything goes!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
