apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

West Elm always has some pillowcases on deep discount...

I agree - the West Elm near me always has lots of pillows in their clearance section. All of their pillows have two prices on the tag - one for the pillow and one for the stuffer.

I second Aaron's suggestion of West Elm, but also try eBay (search for Thomas Paul), or Jonathan Adler. Try also BoConcept and even Pier 1, as well as Chiasso.

Circa50 also sells pillow covers from Maharam.

Yes, it is common to see the cases without the fill. Pottery Barn does it too.

In my last apartment I changed pillow covers seasonally, with a green/aqua set for spring/summer and a red/burgundy set for fall/winter. I always just kept all the cases on the pillows, some of which had sewn-on covers originally - so some individual pillows had three different looks to chose from!

For another tip, Crate & Barrel was always a good choice for solid color pillows; Pier 1 has some attractive choices but tends to have sewn-on pillow covers. Pillow covers are also a nice thing to buy when you travel, I have some lovely ones from Thailand and Bali - they're easy to pack but make a nice statement and reminder of your trip when you get home.

Try eBay seller Home Republic: http://stores.ebay.com/HomeRepublic

OR

Etsy seller Absoluut from Amsterdam, who makes beautiful pillow covers and the prices are just awesome!

i like my pillows from etsy seller Ruthscrafts. ridiculously speedy shipping considering it's coming from the UK.

ikea and west elm are my favorites, I have tons of pillow covers from both and I have liked their quality and prices.

you can always knot a large scarf around a pillow to change the look. just turn the pillow 45 degrees and tie the corners together. if you tie pretty knots, they can face out. or if you're like me, they face the couch. :)

i'm changing my living room from blue & brown to oranges too!

Why not make your own? If the pillows are a square or rectangular shape, they're very simple to sew, even by hand.

Finding covers only is a challenge. If you see something that will work for you in my line (www.henryroad.com), let me know and we can do a cover-only deal. Good luck with your search, Paula

as usual, thank you for all of you helpful advice and comments!

i can't wait until my apartment is ALL ORANGE accessorized!

also, if find the pillows i like, i'll just take off the covers, chuck the pillow and put them over my current pillows.

thanks again! and if you come across any other sources, let me know.

Thanks for the link, AT.

We can sell pillows w/out stuffers or swap out poly stuffers for feather/down if you have allergies. Just contact our customer service department before you place your order.

I've also found a lot of great deals on ebay for pillow covers.

I recently had a great experience with a reseller who made me custom pillow covers using their fabric choices. Working with the reseller was a pure joy and their quailty is #1.

I buy my decorative pillows online at Alluminare because they let you design them yourself. It's fun, and I can change the look of my apartment every season.
