My Cozy Home Upgrade: Throw Pillows & Blankets I Swear By (2024)
Is your living room feeling a little...blah? Mine was! I was tired of the same old boring couch situation, but a full room makeover wasn't in the budget. Sound familiar?
Ugh, the worst part is knowing a few simple changes can make a huge difference, but sifting through all the options online? Time-consuming! Plus, those 'perfect' styled rooms on Pinterest always seem to cost a fortune.
I went on a mission to find affordable ways to cozy up my space, and I'm so excited to share my finds! I focused on throw pillows and blankets that add texture, color, and most importantly, comfort. Here’s what I grabbed...
The Ones I Actually Kept
Okay, these pillow covers are seriously amazing for the price. I grabbed the velvet ones in a dark teal and they instantly elevated my couch. The hidden zipper is a nice touch (makes washing them SO much easier), and they feel way more expensive than they are. I've seen the price bounce around a bit, so keep an eye on it!
The Coziest Blanket Ever
This blanket is like being hugged by a cloud. Seriously, it's SO soft. I sized up to the 60x80, and it's perfect for snuggling on the couch during movie night. It goes in and out of stock sometimes so be patient. Get the exact blanket I bought.
The Inserts That Don't Go Flat
I've wasted so much money on cheap pillow inserts that end up looking sad and deflated after a week. These are AMAZING. They actually fill out the corners of my square pillow covers and stay fluffy. They're a little pricier than some, but so worth it. I'd recommend these if you want your pillows to look luxe!
The One With All the Texture
Okay, I grabbed this macrame throw for some added texture to my living room. It's cute, but not the softest blanket ever. I'd say this is more for looks than for actual snuggling. If you love the boho vibe, though, it's a great deal! I've seen the price fluctuate, so check if it's on sale.
Overall, the Phantoscope pillow covers were the stars of the show. They instantly transformed my couch without breaking the bank. And definitely snag that Bedsure blanket while it's available – you won't regret it!
FAQ
How do I choose the right size throw pillows?
For sofas, 18x18 or 20x20 inch pillows are a good starting point. For larger sectionals, you can go bigger, like 22x22 or even lumbar pillows for extra support and style.
How often should I wash my throw pillows and blankets?
Wash your throw pillow covers every 1-2 months and your blankets every 2-3 months, or more often if you have pets or kids. Always check the care label for specific instructions!
