The perfect blend of comfort and style is what makes a house a home. And, quite often, the smaller details in your overall design make all the difference. One of these is the cushion.

Cushions are versatile décor elements. Obviously you’ll often choose them for comfort – and why not? But they also have other functions, which make them an indispensable, incomparable and also inexpensive way to put the finishing touches to your carefully thought-out home décor.

Take a look at the 4 Cs of decorating with cushions.

Cosy up with cushions

Your home is about comfort. It’s your physical and psychological retreat, so if it doesn’t make you more comfortable than any other place on earth, then something’s wrong.

Your choice of cushions contributes to the cosy and inviting atmosphere of your favourite spaces. Think how much the rugs, pillows and throws on your sofa and your bed add to your relaxation and feeling of well-being.

They should give you support when you’re sitting, lounging or binge-watching your favourite shows. They should also be great to touch and easy to fluff up, to give you that ‘I’m home’ feeling.

Can you imagine anything cosier than a Mongolian Sheepskin Cushion? It’s the ultimate cuddle!

Cushion couture

When comfort is also super chic, you have a double win. Stylish cushions speak volumes about the individualised décor choices you make to give your home its own special ‘look’.

A great trendsetter at the moment is the use of geometric patterns. They’re easy to add to a room; just choose a new set of cushions. No need to change larger furniture items. Our Greek Key design is a stunning example. Instant revamp!

Cushions can be the perfect complement to a style you’ve already chosen. You might use textures or colours to coordinate them with other elements, such as curtains, rugs or artwork. This will give unity and harmony to your design.

Alternatively, as a contrasting statement, cushions can be eye-catching and surprising.

When the season changes, you can adapt the look and feel of the room to match it. Colour, texture and pattern create atmosphere and shape mood.

Richer colours, muted patterns and softer fabrics will bring winter warmth to a room and make you feel happier and more contented. What better or easier way to achieve it than with a change of cushions?

Our Earthtone Mudcloth Cushions fit the bill. And that’s just one example.

And you can do it all again for a new look next season. When summer approaches, a switch to lighter and brighter options is a breath of fresh air and new life to a room for the longer days ahead.

Our Ikat Print Cushions, made with a cotton-linen blend, add cool tones or bright bursts of colour for a summery feel.

Creativity with cushions

Cushions don’t have to be the focal point of your interior design. But they can be. They can draw the eye to other furnishing items or be the star attraction.

You can introduce themed cushions to reflect your special interests or your favourite holiday destinations.

Our Cidra Sateen Cushions, with their magnificent lovebird theme, would be a colourful high point in any indoor-outdoor garden room. Imagine them scattered on your cane or rattan chairs or loungers.

Our African Badge Cushions incorporate hand knotted jute designs that recall tribal shields. Perfect for any décor but they work especially well with boho or rustic styles.

Trying innovative ways with cushions is one of the ways you explore and express your personal flair.

Think about the artistic potential of cushions. You’ll love the unique and eye-catching design of our Matisse Woman, inspired by the artist’s ‘Seated Nude’, or Picasso’s Dancing Man.

Or what about the traditional Moroccan designs of a Cactus Silk Style Linen Cushion or Kilim Pillow?

These are statement pieces on their own and will turn your living area into an art gallery.
