The humble cushion is one of the most versatile décor accessories you can use to instantly transform and bring any space to life. They help bring your overall interior style together and create a cohesive look to your home.

We have put together five of our favourite looks to help inspire you on your next restyling session, as well as the following tips to consider. 

  • Odd numbers tend to look more balanced and are a more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Size matters, start with large cushions at the back and reduce in size as you move to the front.
  • Balance colour placement by using, say, darker cushions on opposite ends to avoid a bulky build up on one side.
  • Look for patterns of similar colours or theme to maintain the overall visual appeal.
  • Have fun with it!
