If couches were clothing, throw pillows would be the equivalent of the necklaces and chains we use to transform any bland outfit into a fashion statement. Just like accessories, throw pillows offer a way to infuse your personality into your space.

An empty couch is like a blank canvas, waiting to be brought to life. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the impact of a few well-chosen decorative pillows. They have the power to completely transform the look and feel of your couch and, by extension, your entire living space. Throw pillows also offer a low-commitment way to experiment with different design styles before fully embracing a new aesthetic.

You might add leopard print throws to your boucle sectional to bring a touch of trendy fashion into your home or opt for textured, spherical pillows to introduce visual interest.
