How to Style a Cushion: Tips for Elevating Your Living Space

Cushions are more than just functional; they’re a quick and affordable way to add personality, comfort, and style to any room. Whether you want to refresh your living room, bedroom, or cosy corner, here’s how you can style cushions to elevate your home!

Choose the right size and the right shape for your cushions

The size and shape of your cushions can make a big difference, that's why it's important to take the right decision depending on your home and your personal preferences. For example, if you have a large sofa, you can opt for bigger cushions to ensure they don’t look too small or lost. Layering cushions of different shapes (square or rectangular) creates a more dynamic look. The key is to make sure the sizes are in proportion to your furniture to have the perfect look for your home decor.

Colours and patterns mix and match!

Cushions are a perfect way to add and change colours to your room without making a permanent change, ideal when you're renting or unsure about the colours you want. You can either match the colours with your existing palette for a harmonious feel or choose contrasting hues to make a bold statement. When it comes to patterns, don’t be afraid to mix them. A combination of florals, stripes, and geometric designs can work beautifully if they share a similar colour scheme. At Just, we offer a wide range of fabrics that suits every needs!

What about texture? 

Using different textured fabrics is a great way to make your cushions stand out. Mixing fabrics like velvet, linen, and cotton creates depth and a sense of luxury.  For added texture, look for cushions with details such as embroidery.

I choose my cushions, now what?

Arranging your cushions can be a bit tricky, but don't worry we're here to help! For example, if you're seeking a more structure, formal look you can opt for symmetrical arrangement and place your cushions on either ends of your sofa. If you want a more casual style, you can mix and match sizes, colours and textures and place them in an asymmetrical arrangement! 

In conclusion, there is not a single way to style your cushions, and it all comes to your personal preferences and your home decor. At Just, we have options to suits everybody, whether you're looking for bold colours and patterns or neutral cushions to blend in your room.
