Decorating with Cushions

Pillows and cushions can transform any space. They are an essential element for home décor. From living rooms to bedrooms, cushions are the cherry on top. They can bring much joy as they help to curate your space, create cohesion in a design, and bring comfort, easily!

Bring Comfort

Primarily designed to offer additional support, cushions can make a bench as a practical backrest or can be used for sitting and reading in bed. They are a great accompaniment for outdoor dining, on a chaise lounge or a window seat. Choose from our variety of filling options. From feather to down, you can find the right support for your needs.

Create Cohesion

Coordinate elements of the room, and play with the drapery, sofa and rug colours to create a cohesive look, adding that much-needed pop of colour.

Make it all easy

The great advantage of using cushions is the ability to update your room easily. You can change the aesthetic by swapping out seasonally or when you want to experiment with new colours, patterns, or textures with no permanent commitment to a new décor.

Cushion styles

Create interest and depth with different patterns, textures and colours. Keep things simple by coordinating cushions with existing décor. Look for colours and patterns that will coordinate with the colours you are already using in your space.

Below you can find our recommendations for different uses and space styles.

NEUTRAL TEXTURE | Monochromatic textures bring depth

RUSTIC CUSHIONS | Add soft textiles to create a cozy and inviting space

LUXE CUSHIONS | Bold colourways and opulent fabrics to bring drama

COASTAL-INSPIRED | Create a clean and snug space

Do not forget to karate chop the center of the cushion to create a lived-in inviting look, or fluff your cushions up for formal elegance.
