Ready to dive into the comfy, cosy world of cushions? We’ve pulled together the ultimate guide to making your sofa, bed or any little nook in your home both stylish and snuggle-worthy. 

Choosing the Right Colours

It’s the first thing you’ll notice about your new cushions — the colour. Picking the right cushion colours for your room can transform your space from ‘meh’ to ‘magnificent’! 

Consider the accent colours in your room already, and go for a similar colour to complement the vibe. Or, if you’re feeling bold, go for a striking contrast colour to add an accent to your space.

To take your decor to the next level, why not try swapping out your cushions with the seasons? Invite in Spring with bright, pastel colours. When the weather starts to turn, cosy up with dark, warm colours during autumn. 

The Thing About Patterned Cushions

Patterned cushions are a brilliant way to add depth and character to your space, and if you’re looking for a way to add a bit of personality and texture, patterned cushions are the way to do it.

Start by selecting a primary pattern that you love, perhaps something bold or intricate, as your focal point. Then, complement it with simpler patterns or textures that share a common colour or theme. 

Mixing stripes with florals, geometrics with organics, or checks with abstract prints can create a dynamic yet cohesive look. 

The key is to balance the scale of patterns though; if you’re going to introduce multiple patterns with cushions, it’s crucial to combine larger prints with smaller ones to avoid visual chaos. 

Experiment with different combinations until you find the perfect mix that reflects your personal style and brings your room to life.

How Many Cushions Do I Need?

Too many cushions, and you risk turning your cosy corner into a cluttered mess. Not enough, and it might look a tad bare. 

For sofas, a good rule of thumb is one or two cushions per seat. Got a deep sofa or a spacious bed? You can get away with a few more. Just remember, it’s all about balance and comfort — cushions aren’t just for decoration!

Styling Your Cushions

Ever heard of the 2-1-2 arrangement? It’s super easy and can help you achieve a perfectly arranged look, every time. Start with a large cushion in each corner, pop a smaller one next to each of these, and cap it off with a quirky rectangular cushion in the centre. It’s a great way to mix and match sizes and shapes for that oh-so-chic look.

For a more formal vibe, symmetry is your friend. Think even numbers for a balanced, polished look. More laid-back? An odd number of cushions, especially in groups of three, adds a casual, inviting feel to your space.

Looking After Your Cushions

Let’s not forget about cushion care. To keep your cushions looking their best, give them a regular fluff and a spin in the wash according to their care instructions. This will keep them fresh and fabulous for years to come.

Cushions should be more than just a comfy addition to your space; they’re a fantastic way to express your style and switch things up without breaking the bank.
