T.J. Maxx Is Selling a $25 French-Inspired Decor Gem That’s So Coquette

One of the most freeing attitudes I’ve adopted lately has been to not box myself into a certain aesthetic. If you were to ask any of my friends about my style, for example, they would tell you that I’m a minimalist, both in terms of personal style and interior decor style. But when I tell myself that I’m a minimalist, it can sometimes hold me back from trying new things and further refining my taste. 

My hack for avoiding this problem is simple. I find that when I browse select home retailers’ decor offerings, I feel inspired to branch out. T.J. Maxx is one of those retailers not only because a lot of its products are budget-friendly, but also because so many of them look vintage-inspired, more expensive than they are, or both.

Case in point: the Envogue toile bow pillow, which is delightfully French-inspired and undeniably cute. At $25, it’s a steal, too, and it’s bound to sell fast.

Despite its relatively subtle color and pattern, the bow pillow still makes a statement because of its oversized design. At 14 inches tall and 24 inches across, it’s almost the size of a standard bed pillow. If your sofa or bed is already overflowing with accent pillows, this pick might be too much to add on top, but it’s perfect if you want a playful bedscape.

The pillow is available in blue and white at this link, though you can also shop the pink version if you prefer a bolder pop of color. Both versions feature a charming exterior inspired by the 1800s French toile print. The print is known for its single-color pastoral designs, which were historically printed on unbleached fabric. The pillow also has a polyester fill and exterior.

Despite its vintage-inspired print, the pillow feels current because of its trendy bow shape. If you look closely at the print, you’ll also notice some ribbons, which further add to its coquette aesthetic. No matter where you put it, the pillow will elicit comments and compliments from visitors.

What’s also great about this T.J. Maxx find is that you can tie it in with a variety of other decor trends. Ruffly bedding is having a moment, for example. How darling would the pillow look atop a frilly, ruched duvet cover? Additionally, scallops and wavy-edged items are popular; the pillow would match a lot of furniture and decor in that style category, too. And obviously, if you like a Rococo vibe, this is a no-brainer.

T.J. Maxx decor items don’t usually stay in stock for a long time, so if you like the toile bow pillow, I suggest getting it ASAP. For such a reasonable price, it doesn’t hurt to try something new.
