We're Not Saying We're Martha Stewart...

Uptown Girls always love inexpensive decorating tips. Let’s be honest, sometimes, your old apartment setup can get played out and boring. Recently, we’ve discovered a great way to easily and cheaply switch up the look of your apartment, and it comes down to one item: sofa accent pillows. Instead of spending $40 and up on designer pillows, we love the idea of buying a square pillow (as in, just the pillow part) and then getting pillow slip covers in fun colors and patterns to change up the look of your living room. For example, try mixing up one or two patterned pillow covers with several solids that match or complement a color in the pattern. This will make your living room look brand new! And after a few months or a few years, if you tire of these pillows, just store the cases away and get new ones and enjoy a totally different look. A store that offers this option is Ikea (which we love), and pillows cost around $7, while the slipcovers average at around $10. For the price of one or two designer pillows, you can get a whole living room’s worth of accent pillows. Decorate away!
