Transitioning Throw Pillows | Christmas Edition

I’ve mentioned it before, but one of the ways I like to transition the decor in my home from season to season is swapping out my throw pillow covers. I actually keep them all in the trunk in our living room that we use as a coffee table, so they are close by when I’m ready to swap things over. This makes it super easy to do a quick change in my decor, without the expense of buying all new pillows every time. So I wanted to share how I transitioned our couch pillows over recently for Christmas.

I mentioned in my fall home tour that one of the ways I like to make seasonal changes, is by adding cozy texture for the cooler months. I begin by doing this in fall, shown above, and carry it all the way through the winter.

Here in New England, we are known for our long winters, so even though it feels icy and cold outside, I want the inside of my home to reflect all the cozy vibes that will keep us warm all winter long.

Before : Fall

Just to refresh, here is the throw pillow combo I had for fall~

Option 1

The first option would be to keep the same throw blanket, and grey pillow that was in the back. I moved it up, and added a larger white knit pillow behind it.

I love the texture from the chunky knit rows in the white throw pillow, and could also use this look for more of a “winter” look, or a neutral holiday feel.

Option 2

For a slightly more festive feel, I kept the chunky white throw pillow, and instead – added a simple white & red knit throw pillow to the mix. Playing off of the green throw blanket, and the simple red stripe in the new throw pillow gives a subtle holiday feel.

Option 3

Making things slightly more festive, I kept the larger 2 pillows the same, but mixed in a holiday plaid lumbar pillow in the front for more of a festive Christmas feel.

You can compare the 2 Christmas pillow combos side-by-side below ~

I listed the sources below for each throw pillow :

• Subtle Red Stripe Throw Pillow – Purple Rose Home
• Chunky Knit White Throw Pillow – HomeGoods (similar one found here)
• Plaid Lumbar Throw Pillow – Pottery Barn
• Merry & Bright Throw Pillow – With Lavender Grace
• Green Throw Blanket – Amazon

You can see all 3 options below ~

And one more look on how I transitioned from Fall to Christmas.

I’ll be sharing more of our living room decorated for Christmas this year tomorrow! In the meantime, you can see past years of how I decorated our living room for Christmas below ~
