Five Statement-Shaped Throw Pillows to Elevate Your Grey Couch

65

There’s no rule that says all throw pillows need to be square or rectangular! In fact, plenty of people have found success with statement-shaped throw pillows, including heart-shaped and star-shaped designs. If you have a grey couch that needs some style, here are five stylish statement-shaped throw pillows you can decorate with.

Feather Down Alternative Pillow

Made from 100% polyester and filled with feathers, a feather down alternative pillow is slightly more affordable than one made with real feathers but still holds its shape well. With a quick shake before placing back on your bed, you can instantly fluff it up again. These are good options for you if you’re looking for something low maintenance. All you need to do is wash regularly and occasionally air out outside on a sunny day.

Burlap and Hemp Sofa Pillow

Add a dash of pattern and texture with a hemp pillow. Made from burlap and hemp, it’s got an undeniably rustic look that’s perfect for shabby chic or midcentury modern designs. For something more subtle, opt for cotton or linen in a modern hue like black or white. It’ll be especially eye-catching on a natural fiber couch. This throw pillow is one you can actually wash—it has a removable cover made from 100 percent linen. You can machine wash it in cold water, but hang dry only; tumble drying could cause shrinkage. Available at West Elm for $39 (originally $48).

Embroidered Geo Tassel Throw Pillow

The geometric pattern on a soft white cushion gives any grey sofa extra texture. But one geometric pattern doesn’t have to take over your entire home: balance it out with some other bold patterns and textures. For example, go for a brighter couch and offset it with softer lines in your pillow or rug.

Modern Aztec Aztec Tribal Black and White Print Throw Pillow

This black, white and grey throw pillow from Urban Outfitters is bound to bring some depth to your home’s decor. The tribal pattern adds visual interest, while bringing in a bit of exoticism. The bold shape adds a nice pop of style, making it an ideal addition for your grey couch or futon. This unique accent pillow has a fun mix of modern and classic, making it a great addition for your living room or bedroom. Buy: $39

DIY Tasseled Moroccan Jewelry Pouch Decorative Pillow

Use an old vintage piece of jewelry or any tasseled scarf you have lying around and make it into a pillow. That way you can show off your creativity in such a sophisticated way, adding texture, colors and elegance to any room. Plus, it’s always good to know how to make something yourself instead of going out and buying something from a store. This is also a great project for kids who want to learn basic sewing skills! It takes about 20 minutes to make and costs less than $10.

12 Days of Christmas Cozy Accent Pillow: Another one that requires no sewing whatsoever – just some simple knotting – but will add so much style to your living room! All you need are 12 days worth of newspapers (if they aren’t already colored in) plus a string and scissors. You can also add anything else you like inside – small toys, tiny bottles filled with sand, glitter... anything goes!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
