Cushions

Some tips for matching cushions to your sofa are:

Consider the colour scheme of you room, look for cushions in colours and patterns that complement the colours already present in your living room, You can pick a colour from your rug, artwork, or even a printed scarf for inspiration.

Combining cushions in different textures, like velvet, linen, and cotton, adds visual interest and makes your sofa feel more inviting.

Don't be afraid to use a variety of cushion sizes and shapes. Larger cushions can provide a base, while smaller ones can add pops of colour or pattern.

Aim for an odd number of cushions (usually 3, 5, or 7) and arrange them for symmetry or a casual, asymmetrical look.

If your sofa is a neutral colour, you can add a touch of personality with bold patterned cushions. Just make sure to balance them out with some neutral-coloured cushions as well.

• Think about the style of your sofa: A classic leather sofa might look best with more traditional cushions, while a modern sofa can handle bolder patterns and textures.
• Think about the functionality of your cushions: If you use your sofa a lot, you'll want to choose cushions that are comfortable and easy to clean.
• Have fun! Cushions are a great way to express your personal style and add a touch of personality to your living room.

Neutral Tones for a Sophisticated Look:

White, beige, or cream: These timeless neutrals complement grey beautifully, creating a calming and elegant atmosphere. Consider textured options like cable knit or velvet for added visual interest.

• For light grey sofas: Consider darker neutral cushions like charcoal or taupe for a balanced look. You can also use creamy ivory or warm beige for a more open and relaxed feel.
• For dark grey sofas: Lighter neutrals like white, beige, or even metallic grey can add a touch of contrast and sophistication.
