Neutral + Comfy Living Room Inspiration
This post-holiday, pre-spring season always feels a little blah. The Christmas decor is gone, but it’s still a frozen tundra outside, and spring colors feel too soon. Muted, neutral tones are the perfect in-between. A few simple swaps instantly made my living room feel cozy, inviting, and like the perfect place to be on these dark winter nights.
I’m sharing the Target and Magnolia home decor finds I used to refresh my living room! See how I styled the Studio McGee woven throw and CLJ Dinah pillow with a few gorgeous Magnolia throw pillows for a cozy, neutral look. The best part? These pieces aren’t just for this in-between season, they are going to work beautifully all year round.

Studio McGee Woven Floral Throw Blanket
I swapped in this woven floral and leaves pattern throw from Threshold with Studio McGee, and it instantly made the whole space feel softer and cozier. The floral and leafy pattern feels timeless and neutral, the fringe edges add a little charm, and the medium weight makes it actually warm for these cold winter nights.
The colors are a perfect neutral mix of cream, beige, and soft brown, and the light and dark sides add extra character and depth depending on how you style it. Honestly, it’s almost too pretty to use, but it makes the room feel so inviting.
Chris Loves Julia Dinah Pillow
I went with the 22×22 size and chose the poly fill since I needed an insert anyway and it was the same price as buying just the cover. The Dinah pillow is available on several sites, so be sure to check each one I linked when you’re ready to purchase. I found the best deal on Amazon. The Ivory/Earth color is perfect, with muted green hues and a slightly off-white background. My favorite detail is the ruffled trim, which adds just the right amount of sophisticated playfulness.
Magnolia Home Throw Pillows
Heirloom Velvet Lumbar Pillow
This velvet lumbar pillow from Magnolia is a 10/10. The fabric feels so luxurious, the color has the perfect muted, vintage-washed look, and the piping detail just sealed the deal. The 14 x 20 size pairs beautifully with this accent chair! The color shown is Desert.
Flora Natural Printed Pillow
I’ve been on the hunt for a floral patterned pillow to complete my living room couch stack, and this one nailed it. The light brown-tan tones, linen fabric, and the adorable zipper pull totally sealed the deal. The color feels neutral but still has enough contrast to pop. The 18×18 size makes it perfect for layering with the CLJ Dinah pillow.
Townes Grey Pillow
Last, but definitely not least, is the Townes Grey Pillow — and don’t let the name fool you, it’s not grey! I see more brown and mossy-green tones. I took a gamble because I definitely didn’t want grey, and I’m so glad I did because it pairs beautifully with the others. The fabric is very soft, but my favorite part is the stitched edge detail. This pillow also has a zipper so you can remove the cover, if you’re wondering. It’s 18×18, but a little less stuffed than the Flora pillow, so it appears slightly larger — which I love because the contrast keeps everything from feeling too matchy-matchy.
