Cute, inexpensive, and comfortable, throw pillows are an easy way to add some functional Christmas decor to your couch or bed. Whether you plan on having lots of friends and family over during the holiday season, or you plan on getting in some serious TV time, throw pillows are comfortable to lay on, especially if you have a Christmas blanket to snuggle up with as well. Plus, Christmas throw pillows are really fun and festive, and can add a bright spot to an otherwise simple couch.
Whether you love a cheery red, a classic plaid, or a Christmas quote, there are plenty of throw pillow patterns to choose from. Many throw pillows also come in sets, so it’s easy to decorate your whole sofa. If you want to create your own set-up, try layering different sizes and patterns for a chic Christmas look.
Keep in mind, the pillows on this list are actually pillow covers. Throw pillow covers work well as you don’t have to purchase a brand new pillow and can simply cover your existing throw pillows. If you want a separate throw pillow, you can find some nice throw pillow inserts here.
