Target's Chic Pumpkin Pillow Is Giving Pottery Barn Vibes For Way Less

With fall fast approaching, the temptation to splurge on cute new decor items and transform your space for the season is real. That's particularly true when you're shopping for tasteful seasonal pieces, which often means heading to more elevated retailers like Pottery Barn or West Elm and spending a pretty penny. Thankfully, good ol' Target has come in clutch this season with a well-reviewed, budget-friendly item from its fall 2025 collection: an on-trend bouclé throw pillow from the in-house line Threshold that's shaped like a pumpkin.

Available in three muted autumnal hues and retailing for just $20 each, the Teddy Boucle Shaped Pumpkin throw pillow from Target has gotten the seal of approval from many reviewers online, who overwhelmingly say it looks polished and higher quality than its affordable price would suggest. It's also a near-perfect dupe for a bouclé pumpkin pillow from Pottery Barn, which goes for at least $20 to $40 more depending on the size. Depending on your location, you can pick up a Target version at your nearest store or have it delivered straight to your home. Snag several in different colors, stagger them throughout the house, and you'll give your home a whimsical touch for fall that still looks refined without breaking the bank (pumpkin spice lovers, we're looking at you).

How to style seasonal home decor items in a chic, elevated way

When decorating with seasonal decor items like a pumpkin-shaped pillow, there are a few key styling tips to keep in mind so you keep your space looking chic and don't fall into any common traps. First things first: Don't go ham with it. Many interior design pros recommend choosing a few pieces, ideally multipurpose ones, and using them sparingly and intentionally throughout your space. Think: supplementing your year-round furniture and home decor, not drowning your home with new or kitschy items.

You'll also want to make sure that you choose the right pieces. It can be helpful to take stock of what you currently have first, and then source inspiration for seasonal decor online. Next, hunt for seasonal items in warm colors or interesting textures, and style them around other pieces in your home that look more classic and refined. Aim for a balance of different hues, textures, and vibes. You can't go wrong with a functional accent piece, such as a quilted blanket, a candle in an autumnal scent, or a themed coffee table book that captures the spirit of the season. By being more selective, you'll avoid going overboard on the seasonal stuff and save your hard-earned money for timeless home decor pieces — like a bouclé pumpkin pillow.
