Cushions are more than just comfort enhancers—they’re a versatile design element that can transform the look and feel of any room in your interior space. Whether you're aiming to refresh your living space or simply add a touch of personality, styling cushions effectively can make a significant impact. Here’s a guide to help you master the art of cushion styling and elevate your home decor.
One of the most exciting aspects of cushion styling is the opportunity to play with patterns and textures. Mixing different designs can add visual interest and depth to your space.
Patterns: Combine various patterns like stripes, florals, and geometric designs to create a dynamic look. Mixing with our collection of Walter G cushions will give you the perfect mix.When mixing patterns, consider the scale and colour palette to ensure they complement each other. For example, pair large floral prints with smaller, subtle patterns to maintain balance.
Textures: Incorporate different textures such as cotton, linen, and canvas to create a tactile experience. Combining a soft linen cushion with a chunky cotton knit adds richness and comfort to your arrangement.
Colour Coordination: Stick to a cohesive colour scheme to unify the different patterns and textures and try not to have too many competing in the brightness department. Choose cushions in varying shades of the same colour or complementary hues to create a harmonious look.
Experimenting with different shapes and sizes can add dimension and intrigue to your cushion arrangement.
Standard Shapes: Traditional square cushions are a staple, but don’t shy away from other shapes. Rectangular cushions, often used as lumbar support, can add a sophisticated touch to your sofa or bed.
Mixed Sizes: Mix large and small cushions to create a layered effect. For instance, place larger cushions at the back and smaller ones in front. This approach works well on sofas and beds, giving a well-thought-out, inviting appearance. Your usual size of cushions are 60 x 60, 50 x 50 or 40 x 60. Here at Harry and Kit we have a range of different sizes which are perfect for mixing with.Â
Layering: Layer cushions for a plush, inviting look. Start with larger cushions and build up with smaller ones, creating a visually appealing arrangement that encourages relaxation.
