Jenn Todryk uses festive covers to transform throw pillows
Following Todryk's tip makes holiday decorating a breeze. Many of us already have throw pillows in our possessions. Todryk suggests changing their outward appearance to reflect the season. Pillow covers are a cozy way to add festive colors and holiday motifs to your space. They can even pull a room together. So, before you fill your shopping cart with fluffy pillows that you'll need to store in a month, consider Todryk's tip and look for covers instead.
Transform Your Living Room with Holiday-Themed Pillow Covers
If you're looking for an affordable and space-saving way to give your living room a festive feel this holiday season, take a cue from Jenn Todryk's design tip. Instead of buying new pillows each time you want to redecorate, opt for exchangeable pillow covers. Todryk shares on Instagram that this simple change can "change the entire feel of the space."
To achieve her holiday look, Todryk chose three different pillow covers with varying textures and colors. She mixed a soft, chunky knit cream-colored cover with a red plaid cover and tied everything together with a lumbar pillow cover featuring seasonal gnomes. The result was a quick and noticeable injection of holiday spirit into her living room.
Not only does this tip save money, but it also saves space. The reusable pillow covers can stay out all year long and change with the seasons. Once the holidays are over, you only need to stow away a thin cover instead of a bulky pillow. Plus, if you already have pillows on hand, you won't need to spend extra money when it's time to redecorate.
If you're worried about mixing patterns, don't be. According to Charlotte Lucas of Charlotte Lucas Interior Design, mixing patterns in home decor can be incredibly chic. Just remember to vary the scale of the patterns, as well as the color and texture.
Todryk's covers may not initially seem similar, but they all share some qualities that contribute to a cohesive yet varied display. She used a plaid design that featured multiple colors. At least one of those colors is also found on the other pillows. The gnome cover borrows the red and white, while the sweater-like cover takes the neutral cream tone. Picking one multicolored pattern and joining it with others that borrow a color will unite your throw pillows while still making room for variation. So play around with patterns and choose the covers that give you a delightful holiday feeling.
