Want to give your home a quick style upgrade without the hassle of a full remodel? One of the easiest and most effective ways to spruce up your space is by coordinating your cushions with your curtains. It’s a simple trick that can tie a room together and really show off your personal style!

Get the Colours Right

First up, let’s talk colour harmony. Getting your colours right can totally transform the feel of a room. You can use a colour wheel to find complementary shades that make your decor pop, or go for analogous colours for a more understated, unified look. 

Say your curtains are a lovely deep blue — adding cushions in shades of teal or sky blue can create a super calming vibe, or you could shake things up with some vibrant orange cushions for a bold, eye-catching contrast.

Mix And Match Patterns Like A Pro

If the thought of mixing patterns makes you nervous, you’re not alone — but it can really pay off! If your curtains have a bold pattern, pair them with cushions sporting a simpler, smaller design. 

The trick is to balance things out so the patterns complement rather than clash. Matching a dominant pattern with a solid colour from that pattern is a no-fail strategy for a look that’s coordinated and chic.

Play with Textures

Texture is another great way to add depth to your space. Mixing textures can boost the cosy factor of any room, making it more inviting. Try pairing plush velvet curtains with crisp linen cushions for a mix that’s pleasing to both the eye and the touch. Or how about silky smooth curtains with some fluffy cushions for a bit of warm, snuggly contrast?

Set the Right Mood

Think about the overall mood or theme you’re going for in your room. If you love a clean, modern look, stick with a monochrome palette and sleek lines. More of a free spirit? Embrace rich textures and bold patterns for that bohemian feel. Whatever your style, make sure your fabric choices help create the atmosphere you want. We’re here to help at the Sewing House with loads of fabrics and designs that can align with any vision.

Some Practical Styling Tips

Don’t forget the practical bits: consider the size and scale of your cushions compared to your sofa or chairs. Larger cushions work great on big sofas, while smaller ones are perfect for armchairs. 

And think about the sunlight in your room — some fabrics might fade in direct light, so choose wisely to keep your colours looking bright.

Coordinating your cushions and curtains doesn’t just pull your room together, it elevates the whole look of your home. With custom options from the Sewing House, you have the freedom to pick and choose exactly what you need for that flawless, coordinated look.
