Christmas Throw Pillows

Get your home holiday-ready and transform every corner into a festive escape by exploring my favorite Christmas Throw Pillows! Now that Thanksgiving has officially wrapped up (along with all the leftovers!), It’s the perfect moment to shift into full Christmas mode. One of my absolute favorite ways to kick off the holiday decorating season is with Christmas throw pillows—they instantly add charm, color, and that cozy holiday feel to any room.

I’ve found so many festive pillow options this year from Amazon, Wayfair, and a few other favorite shops, and I’m already obsessed with how they’re turning my home into a winter wonderland.

Pillows That Have Become Staple Pieces in My Home

Over the years, a few Christmas pillows have become must-haves in my home.

You know those pieces you pull out every single year because they just feel like Christmas?

Where to Place Your Christmas Throw Pillows

Don’t be afraid to spread your pillows everywhere! Sofas and sectionals are obvious spots, but consider adding throw pillows to accent chairs, benches, and even the foot of your bed.

Layering Techniques for Maximum Coziness

Try arranging your pillows by size—larger pillows in the back, medium in the middle, and smaller lumbar pillows in front.

This layering trick adds dimension and gives your home that designer-styled look without any real effort. Plus, the more pillows, the cozier your room feels!

Mixing Classics with New Finds

Each year, I like to rotate in a few new Christmas pillows while keeping my timeless favorites.

This mix keeps my décor feeling fresh while still holding onto the traditions I love.

Whether you’re adding a trendy plaid pillow or a modern minimalist design, combining old and new creates the perfect balance!
