So, you are bored of the same old look of your house interiors? It's been the same sofa, the same wall decors, the same rugs for God knows how many years!!! You want to change the look of your house but are afraid of the high interior decorating costs. Well, not anymore. If you are short on money but running high on ideas, there are a lot many things that you can do for home improvement, without worrying about the bills. For instance, adding colorful throw pillows to your living and bedroom will spice up your interiors without costing much! Although, there is a wide variety in terms of colors and styles for throw pillows, yet the contemporary, modern ones, which come with clean lines and in bold colors, are currently the hot favorites.

Placement

Modern throw pillows can be placed in any room in your house. There are throw pillows for couch, rugs, bay windows, beds, rocking chairs, to name a few. So, as far as their placement in the house is concerned, you can be as creative as you want! You can place five-six of them on your bed to get comfortable. Or, you can place a few on the rug in your living room to increase your sitting space. Or, you can place a whole bunch of them on your living room furniture to liven it up!

Shapes and Colors

If you thought that square and rectangle is the only possible shape that a throw pillow can come in, simply search the Internet or go looking for them in a home store. You will be surprised to find these in the most unusual of shapes. There are kangaroo-shaped pillows, face-shaped pillows, square pillows with a big flower attached to the modern throw pillow covers in the front, Buddha-shaped pillows, dog-shaped pillows, etc. As for the colors, they come in grays, whites, blacks, all pastel shades and even bright colors such as red, orange, blue and fluorescent green!

Designs

The designs range from the minimalist, such as horizontal, vertical or zigzag lines to the more complicated mid century designs which exhibit things like "Om", "Guitars", "Butterflies" and other modern and psychedelic art designs, which are reminiscent of the 1960s', 1970s' rock and hippie era.

For those of you who want to extend the glamor and glitz of Hollywood right into their living room, there are Hollywood inspired cheap throw pillows available, which come in turquoise, yellow and white color, accented by bold black graphics. You may further go to cheap throw pillows. If you like to have designs from all over the world in your house, you can opt for throw pillows which come with designs picked from various places like Jaipur, Cayman Islands, St, Tropez, etc.

Modern throw pillows can come in multiple colors, with prints such as flowers, leaves, bubbles and a shimmering glimmer on them. There are also some unusual designs which are quite popular these days, such as "chair pillows" which have a chair printed on the pillow cover, a "walking pillow" which shows a man walking his dog, a "Freida Pillow" - as the name suggests has the face of the legendary painter on it and the "hands pillow" which shows both the hands in a Yoga "mudra" i.e. gesture.

Modern throw pillows are comforting, and an inexpensive alternative to redoing your interiors. They are available in a number of fabric materials such as cotton, silk, knitted, leather, linen, velvet and suede. Although suede is the most popular choice, yet they can be pretty hard to wash and maintain. If you ask me, my personal favorites are cotton throw pillows which have "love", "joy", "peace" written on them. Cotton is easy on skin and these words on the pillow make the room look warm, comfortable and inviting! So, you can see, there is a whole lot of variety in throw pillows. Choose the ones which suit and add on to your interiors!
