Changing Pillows/Throws
You might not think your couch accessories make a huge difference in the overall look of your living room, but they do. According to an article written by Lauren Flanagan for thespruce.com, “Adding pillows and throw blankets is a great way to add color and texture, and the impact they create can give your room a fresh new look – particularly if you change them with the seasons. Taking away heavy, dark pillows and throws that were cozy in the winter and replacing them with light and fresh versions in the summer can lift and freshen a room instantly.” If buying new pillows costs a little more than you want to spend, look for pillow covers. They give you the same effect for a fraction of the cost.
