Cushions

Do you need cushions? Well, not in the sense of a life-or-death scenario! But they're definitely a valuable addition to many spaces. Cushions can add comfort and are a great way to introduce color, pattern, and texture to a room.

Cushions are an easy and affordable way to express your personality and refresh your décor. Discover a world of colours and textures, and create a space that truly reflects you. From bold and vibrant to subtle and sophisticated, find the perfect cushions to make your home your own.

Place a Cushion Wherever You Want

Cushions are incredibly versatile and can be used in almost any room of the house! They're not just limited to the sofa.

The living room is arguably where cushions shine the most. They're a staple on sofas and couches. Consider adding cushions to armchairs to create cozy reading spots or using large floor cushions to establish a casual, communal seating area.

In the bedroom, they make it look appealing to the eyes. Beyond aesthetics, cushions can also offer practical benefits in the bedroom. They can provide extra back support while reading or watching TV in bed. Think about incorporating a variety of sizes and shapes to create a layered and inviting look.

While not always a given, cushions can significantly enhance the comfort of dining chairs. For those who enjoy lingering over long meals and conversations, cushions provide essential support, making the dining experience more pleasant. Consider using cushions with durable, easy-to-clean fabrics, as spills are more likely to occur in this space.

The home office is a space where ergonomics and comfort are paramount. While decorative cushions might not be the primary focus, lumbar support cushions can be incredibly beneficial. They promote proper posture and reduce back strain, especially during extended periods of sitting.

Outdoor cushions are typically made from weather-resistant materials, allowing you to create inviting seating areas for relaxation and entertaining. Whether it's a cozy nook on a porch swing or comfortable seating for a backyard gathering, cushions make your outdoor space feel more like an extension of your home.

In a child's bedroom or playroom, cushions can serve both functional and playful purposes. Floor cushions or beanbag chairs create a comfortable space for reading, playing games, or simply lounging. Cushions can also add a pop of color and fun patterns to a child's room.

How To Choose The Right Cushions For Your Home

Once you've determined the location of your cushion, there are a few more things you need to consider before you lock in your order.

Determine Your Style

• Modern: Opt for clean lines, geometric patterns, and neutral colors.

• Traditional: Choose classic patterns like florals, stripes, or damasks in rich colors.

• Bohemian: Eclectic patterns, textures like macrame or tassels, and vibrant colors.

• Minimalist: Go for simple designs in solid colours with minimal embellishments.

Colour Palette

• Coordinate cushions with your existing color scheme.

• Use cushions to add a pop of color or introduce an accent color.

• Consider the mood you want to create (e.g., cool tones for calming, warm tones for cosy).

Pattern Mixing

• Don't be afraid to mix patterns, but do it thoughtfully.

• Use patterns of varying scales (e.g., small print with a large print).

• Keep the color palette consistent when mixing patterns.

Think About Size and Shape

• Use a mix of sizes for visual interest.

• Larger cushions provide more support and a plush feel.

• Smaller cushions are good for layering and adding detail.

• Square, rectangular, round, and even cylindrical cushions offer different looks and functions.

• Consider the shape of your furniture when choosing cushion shapes.

Choose Your Type

• Throw Pillows: Decorative cushions for sofas, beds, etc. (Mostly square/rectangle)

• Sofa Cushions: Cushions that come with a sofa (back, seat, bolster)

• Floor Cushions: Large cushions for sitting on the floor

• Lumbar Cushions: Rectangular, for lower back support

• Neck Rolls: Cylindrical, for neck support

• Bolster Cushions: Long, cylindrical, for decoration or arm/back support

• Decorative Cushions: Primarily for looks, various shapes/details

Different textures can add a lot of interest to a room. Think about mixing smooth fabrics with something more textured. For example, you could pair a plain cotton cushion with a velvet one or one with tassels. This creates a more inviting and visually appealing look. If you're going for a simple color scheme, playing with textures is especially important to keep things from feeling boring.

If you want something soft and plush to sink into, feather or down filling is a good option. Polyester filling is more affordable and keeps its shape well, while foam provides firmer support. Choose a filling that provides the level of comfort you prefer.
