While it is easy to find luxury cushions, not all cushions can be described as such. Not all cushions display the same way. Here are some suggestions for styling your cushion and the key quality elements to look for.
1. Opposite Cushions Attract
You can add a lot of impact to your sofa or armchair by adding contrasting cushions. You have options: black and white, blue and white or plain and stripes leopard print, and even plain and simple. A patterned couch looks great with block-colour options, while a printed or embellished option is an easy way to add interest to a plain design.
2. With your cushions, go tonal
A subtle color combination is a better alternative to striking contrasts. Match the colour scheme in your room with your geometric cushions and add a variety of shades from light to dark. This works well with neutrals, as any designer who is a master at this would tell you.
3. Choose textured pillows
Look for rich fabrics, patterns and appliqués to add depth to interiors. You can create a sophisticated look with velvet, suede, or fur options. For the best quality, choose designs that use fabric from reputable fabric shops. The cushions can be embroidered, beaded or woven and offer a unique look. They are worth the price for their quality and craftsmanship.
4. Mix and match your cushion covers
Designer cushions should be a mixture of different sizes, colours, and patterns. They shouldn’t look out-of-place, but rather a cohesive collection of options with at least one element (colour or fabric) in common. So the smallest ones will be in the front, so they can be the most intricate. Remember to combine patterns using the rule of large, small, and medium prints.
5. Pick cushion designs that are in line with your personality
You can brighten up any room by choosing cushions that are reflective of you. No longer are animal designs just for cats. Fun patterns can be a great way to liven up a sofa.
