How to Mix and Match Decorative Cushions: 6 Tips That Always Work
Decorative cushions are the way to make your interior more personal and cozy. They not only provide comfort, but also extra atmosphere. But how do you make sure that they fit well together and enhance your style? With these 6 tips you will always come out right!
1. Match your cushions to your living style
Go for cushions that match your interior. Do you like bohemian vibes? Then choose soft colours with fringes, tassels or woven details. For a minimalist look, neutral tones like beige work perfectly, in fabrics like cotton.
2. Play with shapes and sizes
Varying the size immediately gives your sofa more depth. Combine large square cushions with smaller rectangular ones. Place the larger ones at the back and work your way to the front for a playful but balanced look.
3. Dare to mix with colours and textures
Choose a few colours (three to five is ideal) and let them come back in your cushions. Also repeat the shades of your furniture or walls for a calm look. Also add texture: cushions in teddy, velvet or a subtle pattern make your sofa just that little bit more exciting.
4. Create balance
When working with different colours, shapes and materials, balance is key. Use colours and fabrics that are repeated in multiple places in your interior. Do you have a neutral sofa? Choose cushions in matching shades or play with contrasting accent colours.
5. Add a plaid
Cushions and a throw are a golden duo. Choose a throw that matches your cushions in terms of colour and material. Drape it casually over the corner of your sofa for a cosy finishing touch.
6. Make it nice and loose
Don't place your cushions too tightly and neatly. Throw them loosely on the sofa and make groups of two or three. Start with a large decorative cushion as a base. This creates a relaxed and inviting feeling.
With these tips you can get started yourself and transform your sofa or armchair into a wonderful place that you will not want to leave. Have fun styling!
