The easiest way to jazz up your space is to incorporate throw pillows! While it can be tempting to purchase new throw pillows every season, why not try making your own pillow covers for the pillow you already have? Bonus if you use a plain neutral toned pillow case that you already own and sew on some easy-to-make tassel and stitch-detailing to create a fresh, new pillow cover that is on-trend.

Incorporate colours and textures that are on-trend for 2020, such as bold blues, earthy greens and crushed velvet.
