The decorative pillow is to 2026, what wallpaper was to 2016 – a way to add color, pattern, and personality to any room. Our favorite brands are producing more quirky designs month after month – some are embroidered, displaying motifs and witty word art, while others are uniquely shaped and playfully patterned.

At Anthropologie, we've seen an array of decorative needlepoint pillows (like this 'Causing a Racket' tennis-themed pillow), and recently, Jonathan Adler has launched bold and glamorous pillows from his new collaboration with Michaels (like this funky Bee Beaded Pillow). Even Emma Chamberlain's debut West Elm collection featured decorative pillows – including the Cottage Pillow, which is charmingly shaped like a house.
