Where to buy affordable throw pillows
Decorative throw pillows are one of the easiest ways to elevate the look of a room or refresh a space for a new season. Designer patterns can cost upwards of $80 per cover, but thankfully, you do not have to spend a fortune to get the same look!
My go-to stores to shop for throw pillows on a budget include Amazon, Etsy, H&M, Target and Woven Nook. Amazon in particular has genuinely stepped up their pillow game within the last year, and offer the widest selection at the best prices. For today's roundup, I ordered several from Amazon to test in person and narrowed down my top 16 affordable patterned covers for a designer look.
Aside from the price point, the best thing about these pillows is that they come in a variety of sizes and colors, and can be mixed and matched. No need to worry about clashing, as they all have classic patterns and neutral earth tones that pair together beautifully.

Beyond these floral and block print patterns, Amazon also has a huge selection of other pillow designs and textures with a high-end look. You can find a larger roundup of pillows (and more textiles) on my storefront.
Throw pillow insert recommendations
I have to mention inserts as they are just as important as the covers themselves. Here are the three I use most:
- Pillowflex Synthetic Down: These are the best quality, hold their shape well and very comfortable. They are also the most expensive.
- Basic Home Feather Down: A more affordable option than the Pillowflex, great for 'karate chopping' and will never become lumpy. However, you will have to deal with feathers poking out.
- Oubonun Down Alternative: These have held up great for a year in our rental. They are soft and squishy, and do not keep their form quite as well as the Pillowflex—but it is barely noticeable and they are half the price.
A note on polyester fill inserts: in my experience, you get what you pay for. Most of the pillow sets you will find at big box stores or for $10 on Amazon are the cheap poly fill. They do not hold their shape, and become lumpy in no time. It is definitely worth the investment to have high quality inserts that you will not have to replace down the road.
And on that note, always opt for pillows with a removable insert. Throw pillows take up plenty of storage space, and it is much easier to swap out just the covers when you want a new look.
Now that summer's over, I am in full-on fall mode and cannot get enough of these colors and patterns. Do you have a favorite combination?
