Halloween Throw Pillow Finds for an Easy Spooky Update


If you want an easy way to decorate your home for Halloween, start by swapping your everyday throw pillows for Halloween pillow covers.

I bought these Halloween throw pillow covers on Amazon for all the throw pillows in our two living rooms, and I love how much Halloween spirit they’ve brought. Adding a few Halloween pillows to your sofa or accent chairs is a quick way to bring in seasonal decor and make your home feel ready for the holiday.

I also love that this is an easy change to make each season. When Halloween is over, simply remove the covers to switch back to your everyday pillows, and you’re done!

I’ve linked the Halloween pillows I purchased below in case you’d like to add a little Halloween decor to your home, too!

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN THROW PILLOW COVERS

One reason I like seasonal pillow covers is that I can use the pillows I already own instead of buying all new pillows every time I want to change my decor.

Before ordering pillow covers, measure your existing pillows so you know what sizes to buy. Then buy pillow covers that are either the size of your pillow or one size smaller. When choosing which size to buy, keep the following in mind: 

  • SAME SIZE AS YOUR PILLOW: This will make the cover easier to put on, but the pillow cover may look a little looser or baggier once on the pillow. 
  • ONE SIZE SMALLER THAN YOUR PILLOW: This can give you a fuller, plumper-looking pillow, but it will be harder to get the pillow inside the cover.

Since these Halloween pillow covers are on the less expensive side, I would be careful about sizing down too much. The zippers may not be as sturdy as those on more expensive covers, and forcing a pillow into a cover that’s too small could break the zipper.


FINAL THOUGHTS

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to decorate for Halloween, using Halloween throw pillow covers on the pillows you already own is a great option!

It’s an easy way to make a noticeable difference without adding a lot of extra decorating work. Plus, when Halloween is over, you can remove the covers, store them away, and put your everyday pillows back out. They give your room a lot of festive fun, without needing to store a lot of extra pillows.
