No matter what your aesthetic is, you can find covers for any home decor aesthetic, from a simple minimalist look to a bold eclectic vibe. You don’t have to stick with the cover that your accent pillow comes in, either: Stocking up on a mix of styles allows you to transition your room from one look to another — especially as the seasons change.
Most throw pillow covers come with a zipper or flap closure that will have you giving your couch a trendy refresh with just a simple zip. Plus, washable covers will help ensure that your pillows are always clean.

Target
contemporary pick

Target’s offering a major deal on this two-pack of throw pillows, which includes two striped throw pillow covers and inserts. Each one comes with a hidden zipper closure for a more smooth look and can be thrown in the wash for an easier clean.
What Is a Throw Pillow Cover Called?
Another common name for throw pillow covers is shams, which can be grouped together with pillowcases too. It’s not uncommon for shams to come in sets and are typically a synonym for covers that you use for your sleep pillows as well.
Should a Throw Pillow Cover Be the Same Size As the Pillow?
It’s best to find a throw pillow cover that it at least one inch larger than your pillow. This will provide you with some extra room to zip the pillow inside as well as shift and fluff your pillow to your liking. Getting a sham in the exact size may make it hard to put the insert in the cover and it may leave the pillow in a weird shape.
