The most perfect burgundy throw pillow that is like a glass of Bordeaux for your living room.
THE PERFECT BURGUNDY PILLOW TO CARRY YOU FROM HALLOWEEN TO CHRISTMAS
There are few things in life that bring me as much joy as a seasonal pillow swap. Some people live for pumpkin spice lattes — I live for pillow covers. It’s the quickest, easiest way to make a room feel brand new without actually redecorating the entire house — because let’s face it, none of us have the time (or the budget) for that between school drop-off and holiday hosting.

When I tell you I have been searching for what feels like forever for an affordable burgundy pillow cover for the holiday season that is the perfect shade of burgundy without being too red, or too purple, I mean it. For two years, I have been searching for the perfect shade of burgundy that felt like it leapt right out of a Ralph Lauren catalogue and onto my couch, but at HomeGoods prices. And I finally found it. This pillow cover is the exact shade of burgundy at 5 o’clock after a long day of solo-parenting — rich, warm, and utterly inviting — but for your living room. It’s the perfect shade of red that isn’t too bright, because we’re certainly not here for candy cane red in October.
This burgundy is just right — a color that feels like fall leaves and holiday cheer had the perfect baby. It whispers “welcome holiday season” the moment you walk into the room.
Think of it as the little black dress of your sofa. It pairs just as effortlessly with October’s pumpkins just as it does with December’s twinkling lights and garland.
THE CASE FOR BURGUNDY
VELVET: THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON
Velvet is quite literally the quiet hero of holiday décor. It’s rich, cozy, and elegant without trying too hard. Add a few velvet burgundy pillows to your couch or accent chairs and suddenly your living room feels ready for mulled wine, Christmas movies, and hosting friends (even if the rest of your house still has a magnatile minefield on the floor).
The beauty of a burgundy velvet pillow is that, unlike toddlers, it plays well with others. Pair it with ivory pillows, or even a blue-and-white grandmillennial pattern and suddenly your sofa looks like it belongs in a Nancy Meyers movie. Add a deep green velvet for December and you’ve got holiday magic without veering into the tacky territory of red-and-green overload. For fall, layer it with cozy textures — think chunky knits, faux fur, or even a classic ticking stripe — and the whole room feels like it was styled with intention (when in reality, you swapped out two pillow covers and called it a day).
And because I firmly believe in the “less effort, more impact” school of decorating, here’s my favorite trick: swap whatever’s in your vase or coffee table arrangement for some burgundy hydrangeas in October, then pine or cedar in December. Suddenly, your living room is coordinating with your pillow covers, and you’ve fooled everyone into thinking you’re that mom who has it all together.
STYLING IDEAS
Who knew one pillow cover could do so much? This burgundy beauty is timeless, chic, and the easiest way to step into the holiday season — like pouring yourself a glass of red at the end of a long day, but for your living room.
