The best seasonal decor is a more autumn-inspired take on furnishings you already have in your home, for an organic, complete feel. That's why Martha Stewart's pumpkin colored needlepoint pillows from T.J. Maxx are my favorite autumn accent.
These charmingly understated cushions are both elevated and playful, making them the perfect pick to add a taste of fall to your sofa or armchair. As opposed to traditional Halloween decor, they are designed to fit into your pre-existing design scheme, layered amongst your favorite decorative pillows and throw blankets. I like how the needlepoint design brings in a feeling of tradition, while the seasonal designs feel more whimsical.
Even better, the diamond pattern design can remain out for months, transitioning effortlessly from early fall to halloween, to Thanksgiving. Better yet, it's under $20 from T.J. Maxx for something that looks so specialty.
This cream, orange and green needlepoint pillow is exactly what your living room needs this season. It's festive but not too 'halloweeny' perfect for anyone who wants their autumnal decor to feel expensive and heritage.
To style this throw pillow, I would recommend layering it on your sofa. Mixed with other cushions and blankets, the look will feel more understated. Alternatively, it would be a pretty bedroom accent. If placed in the front of your decorative pillows (especially on a white bed!) it would add an elegance to your sleep space.
