Ideas to renew your home with cushions

With cushions and cushion covers, you can add soft, cosy comfort and refresh your home without a lot of time, effort or money. And you can enjoy the feel and look of a variety of materials like cotton or linen. Here are some ideas to help you get the most out of your cushions.

It’s about textures, too

It’s not just the colours that create the impression, it’s the textures, too. Similar colours will look calm together and let the different materials make most of the impact.

More cushions, more impact

Sometimes less is more, but sometimes adding more cushions is a simple way to create a big effect.

Getting creative with patterns

Why not mix different patterns together and see what works for you? Solid colours help calm things down, if you want to do that.

Cool and calm with tone-on-tone

Tone-on-tone means using different shades of the same colour. You can layer up different tones to create a calm look with lots of definition and style. It’s easy to use cushions as part of the tone-on tone effect in the room. Here, the cushion, rug and some of the furniture have different shades of beige.

More with less

Even with only a few colours, you can create a beautiful combination full of your personal style using cushions with different patterns, shapes and textures.

Extra cosy and easy to change

You can make your sofa cosier and more comfortable with cushions. And it’s easy to change the look, maybe to welcome a new season, by changing your cushions or just your cushion covers.
