Guest Picks: Pillow Fight
Pillows come in all shapes, sizes, patterns and colors. The best part is that you can simply switch out the cover instead of the whole pillow. Sure, pillow prices can get expensive, but keeping a budget and an idea in mind will help you get the look you want for less. Plus, if you're handy with a sewing machine, you could even turn dinner napkins into some new pillow covers. — Michelle from Stuttering Shell

I'm kind of obsessed with my Boston terriers, and this pillow's caption describes both of my dogs in the most perfect way: "loves to burrow under the covers." If you don't have a dog, I suggest you either get a dog or give this doggy-inspired pillow to a friend. It's also available in four other dog breeds.
Do you travel? Or maybe you just have a favorite city? If it's Paris, London or New York, then this is the pillow for you. These accent pillows feature the skyline of each city and highlight some of their more famous sites.
These Sculpted Felt throw pillows are exquisite. Not only are they rich in color, but their texture adds just enough "oomph" to make them pop on your sofa or love seat. The orange one is my favorite.
While the gray and red stripes on this pillow might not work with your current room's decor, this would still be a good thing to have on hand — you know, tucked into a closet or chest. They're only 20-inch squares, but they still provide extra seating or give you some extra support while lounging on the floor.

My love for all things chevron runs deep, so I could not leave out a pair of chevron throw pillows. I'll admit that I did not like the zigzag pattern at first, but then I realized that I wasn't wearing the stuff — I was coming home to the stuff! I like simple lines and clear designs, and that's what I see when I look at these pillows. I think my couch needs them.
It's big. It's red. It's cushiony. I love these corduroy floor pillows. I would never put them away because I love the tufted detail. And they come in eight different colors, so you're bound to find one that works with your home's decor.
