The other day, at the suggestion of my friend Jill, I bought a pumpkin pillow for a spot I was stuggling to decorate. I placed it on the chair in the corner of my kitchen, that before the pillow looked rather bare. It instantly brought Fall into that end of the room and Voila! Of course I shared this picture with Jill, who’d had the idea in the first place. And you know what she said? “Looks great! I’ve started buying pillow covers instead of actual pillows for seasonal decorating. They take up a lot less room when you’re not using them. With each season I just switch them out.” Well, damn if that gal isn’t good. The thought NEVER crossed my mind, but now I’m in, and I mean deep. There are so many options out there for all kinds of holidays, including Fall. So thanks to Jill, here’s a super easy and inexpensive way to add Fall to your home…
Easy Way to Add Fall To Your Home: Seasonal Pilllow Covers
If you’re considering this easy way to add Fall to your home, first decide where your “pillow spots” are. Maybe a couple for the couch? One or two for the bed? And maybe one on that accent chair in the guest room? Most pillows come in standard sizes, so consider this when deciding on locations. Popular sizes include 18″, 20″ and 24″ square, plus the lumbar version in 12″ x 20″. Once you decide on a size that works for your various spots, you’ll want to choose between down and foam filling. Foam is more economical. Down is more luxurious. Down alternative is a happy medium.
Now, as my Dad used to say, you’re off to the races. You can have so much fun for such a small amount of investment with this one. On sites like Amazon you can grab a set of four, 18″ Fall pillow covers for as little as $12.99! If something like this doesn’t strike your fancy, you can go simpler with solid, cheneille pillows, with a Fall design. Let your imagination be yor only guide because they are probably out there.
Insider Tip: If you don’t already own pillow inserts and don’t want to buy new ones, check out your local thrift or consignment shop, like Consignments Ltd. Shops like these almost always have pillows for sale, and it doesn’t matter what the covers look like because you’re replacing them with Fall, then winter, then Valentine’s Day and so on. Hope you have fun with this!
Have a lovely Sunday, my friends. Marianne
