Throw Pillow Covers for Sofas, Couches, Chairs and Beds
Think first about where you want to use the pillow and what you want it to add to the room. A single patterned or textured cover can give an accent chair a focal point, while a sofa or couch gives you more room to combine different sizes and finishes. A black-and-white botanical print can sit beside a solid textured cover, while a rectangular lake-blue geometric or tropical-leaf design can introduce a different shape in front of larger square pillows.
Beds can accommodate the same kind of layering, with larger square covers toward the back and smaller squares or lumbar shapes in front. Selected covers also use longer bedding-oriented proportions for standard pillows or body pillows. If you already have inserts at home, measure them before choosing new covers. Once you know the size you need, you can concentrate on the colors, materials and designs that suit the space.
Throw Pillow Cover Sizes and Shapes
Already have an insert? Start with its measurements. Throw pillow covers come in many square and rectangular sizes, so there is no single dimension that works for every chair, couch or bed.
16 × 16 in For smaller chairs or layered arrangements
18 × 18 in Versatile square for sofas, chairs and beds
20 × 20 in Larger square that works alone or as part of a group
22 × 22 in For deeper seating or larger arrangements
24 × 24 in Can sit toward the back of a layered arrangement
26 × 26 in For layered bed or seating arrangements
Sizes such as 18 × 18 throw pillow covers and 20 × 20 throw pillow covers appear across several styles, including floral prints, black-and-white botanical designs, velvet finishes and textured covers. Selected designs are also available around 16 × 16 and 24 × 24 inches, with additional dimensions throughout the collection.
Shape matters too. Alongside square covers, Decorinall offers rectangular and lumbar formats such as 12 × 20 inches, 16 × 24 inches and other available proportions. The assortment also includes selected longer pillow-cover formats, including waterproof covers sized for standard bed pillows and long body pillows.
Use the Size and Shape filters to see the dimensions currently available, then compare the finished measurements of the throw pillow cover on the product page with your insert. For more detailed help with cover and insert sizing, see our Pillowcase Size Guide.
Materials and Textures
Texture can matter just as much as color. The collection includes covers made from materials such as polyester, woven cotton, cotton blends and linen blends, together with different surface constructions and finishes. Selected 100% cotton covers use woven construction to create visible surface texture without lying on a printed design. Polyester appears across a range of constructions and finishes, including printed twill, peach-skin, geometric jacquard, plush textures and quilted designs. Selected linen-and-cotton blend covers add another fabric option, including geometric styles with digitally printed artwork.
Velvet throw pillow covers range from solid pom-pom edged styles to raised wavy-line designs, giving you color with visible surface detail. For a more pronounced plush texture, Teddy-style faux fur and other plush covers add noticeable surface texture without relying on a printed pattern.
Chenille throw pillow covers and corduroy styles offer another way to introduce texture when you want something more visually detailed than a smooth fabric. When your sofa or bedding already includes several patterns, a solid textured cover can add depth without introducing another busy design. When the surrounding fabrics are fairly plain, texture can help the pillow stand out even when you stay within a simple color palette.
The collection also includes selected waterproof constructions. These range from quilted polyester covers to polyester pillowcases backed with waterproof TPU, giving you options that combine a simple bedding appearance with an added moisture barrier. Because two covers can look similar while using different fibers, backing materials or construction methods, check the individual product specification for the exact material and finish.Use the Material, Texture & Finish and Features filters to compare what is currently available.
Throw Pillow Covers by Color
Think about whether you want the pillow to blend into the room or become one of its stronger accents. For a graphic neutral look, the
collection includes black-and-white botanical, butterfly and geometric designs, along with solid black, gray, beige, brown and dark gray options in selected textured styles. For blue throw pillow covers, the collection moves from lake-blue geometric lumbar designs and coastal sea-life prints to Light blue, blue and navy teddy-plush textures. Selected waterproof styles also come in shades such as sky blue and navy blue, alongside light gray and dark gray, giving you options from softer tones to deeper contrast.
Green throw pillow covers range from tropical foliage to dark green faux fur and solid Green plush textures, with green also appearing on selected long pillow covers. For warmer or brighter accents, look for pink peony florals, pink, purple and burgundy velvet, sunflower yellow, pale mauve and other available shades.
You do not have to match every pillow exactly. One easy way to build a coordinated arrangement is to pick a color from a patterned throw pillow cover and repeat it in a nearby solid or textured cover. This ties the pillows together without making every design look the same. Use the Color filter to see the shades currently available, as color options vary by product and design.
Decorative Throw Pillow Covers and Patterns
To make the pillow one of the visual features of the room, decorative throw pillow covers give you plenty of options beyond plain solids. The current assortment includes sunflower artwork, pink peonies, tropical leaves, black butterfly florals, black-and-white leaf-and-circle motifs, brown-and-white abstract waves, coastal shells and sea life, and modern geometric designs. You can also find decorative detail through construction, including geometric jacquard, velvet pom-pom edging, raised wavy-line velvet, bubble-texture plush surfaces, double-sided cow print and
quilted botanical stitching.
When one cover has a strong floral, botanical, geometric, animal or coastal design, let it become the focal point and pair it with quieter solids or textured covers. Another easy approach is to repeat one color from the patterned cover elsewhere in the arrangement so the different pillows feel connected without looking identical. Use the pattern & design filter to compare solid,
floral and botanical, geometric, animal, coastal and other available designs.
Zipper Closures, Envelope Openings, Sets and Care
Before choosing a cover, check how it opens, what is included, and how it should be cared for. Those details can make a real difference once you start using the cover at home. For a removable cover, many current designs use hidden, concealed or invisible zippers. Selected botanical prints, abstract-wave covers, geometric jacquard styles, woven cotton designs, and plush or faux-fur covers use zipper closures. For zipper throw pillow covers, check the Closure filter and confirm the construction on the individual product page.
Other covers use an envelope opening instead. Selected waterproof polyester and TPU-backed pillowcases, for example, close with overlapping fabric rather than exposed zipper hardware. This gives you another option for a simpler opening without a zipper. What’s included is also worth checking before you order. Many throw pillow covers are sold as a single cover with the insert purchased separately, while selected products come as pairs or coordinated multi-piece sets. When shopping for a throw pillow covers set, confirm whether the listing includes one cover, a pair or a multi-piece set rather than relying on styled otographs, which may show several pillows even when only one cover is included.
Care requirements vary by fabric and construction. Some washable throw pillow covers, including selected printed polyester and sunflower designs, can be machine washed, while quilted, textured, or other decorative finishes may require different care. Follow the washing or cleaning instructions for the specific cover you choose.
Seasonal Throw Pillow Covers
Changing a few accents with the season can be simple with seasonal throw pillow covers, especially when you already have compatible inserts to reuse. Christmas throw pillow covers, fall designs and other occasion-led styles may appear in the assortment at different times of the year. Swap them in for a seasonal update, then return to everyday floral, botanical, geometric, animal or solid-color covers when you are ready for a
different look. Use the current collection and filters to see which seasonal designs are available when you shop.
How to Choose the Right Throw Pillow Cover
When several throw pillow covers catch your eye, a few practical checks can help narrow the choice:
- Size & Shape — Measure your insert first, then choose a square, rectangular, lumbar or longer pillow cover in a compatible size.
- Material & Texture — Consider whether a printed fabric, woven cotton, jacquard, velvet, plush, quilted finish or another verified construction works best for the look and texture you want.
- Color & Pattern — Choose a shade that works with your existing furnishings, or introduce a stronger accent with floral, botanical, geometric, coastal, animal or other decorative designs.
- Closure & What’s Included — Check whether the throw pillow cover uses a zipper, envelope opening or another closure. Also confirm whether the listing is for one pillow cover, a pair or a multi-piece set, and whether the pillow insert is included or sold separately.
- Features & Care — Look for stated features such as waterproof backing where relevant, and follow the washing or cleaning instructions for the specific fabric and construction.
