Cushions are an effortless way to give your home a seasonal refresh. Whether you’re seeking vibrant orange cushions to wake up your living room or outdoor seat cushions for patio parties, here’s how to find the perfect style for your space.
Cushions for Your Living Room
Choose a mix of textures such as faux leather, velvet and cotton jacquard for an opulent feel. As for colour, you can opt for versatile neutrals that blend with your sofa, or use bright cushions to pick up the accent colours from elsewhere in the room.
Cushions for Bedroom Décor
Cushions help create a peaceful ambience in the bedroom. Choose understated neutrals or cool, calming colours – green or blue cushions in soft fabrics are perfect for adding both comfort and style.
Outdoor Cushions
Entertaining outdoors? Look for outdoor chair cushions in easy-care fabrics and vivid colours that will energise your patio space. Make sure to store them inside when not in use to keep them looking good for longer.
Cushion Styling Tips
While there are no hard and fast rules, with a little creativity you can transform cushions into art. Here are a few tips to try:
• Place one or two cushions at each end of your sofa, with a single accent cushion in the middle to finish.
• Place accent cushions in front of your sleeping pillows to add a chic touch to your bedroom.
• Don’t be afraid to mix and match: choose cushions in contrasting colours or a variety of different textures to create depth and visual interest.
