Are they fabric covered? One idea would to be to make new covers (info below) or you can paint them (also below)

They look like they're loose pillows, so I would make new covers for them in colors/patterns I like.

Cassandra....Make envelope cases and velcro at closure. I do that at holidays and use the same pillows just a different cover. Good luck

  Hi, I liked your answer. I don't have a sewing machine and have arthritis. So something simple without too many steps would be best for me. How do I accomplish your idea? Thanks

  You can purchase velcro that has the sticky back and after cutting the size you need... fold you material the correct size, cut the velcro and place it where it's needed and stick together. Be sure to use the different velcro on each side so it will close together. Good luck

You could do a stretch cover and put your cushions and pillows on top.

You could get some pillow covers that are the size of the pillows in different colors or patterns
