Which fabric comes to mind when you think of the word “luxury?” It’s velvet, isn’t it? That’s because nothing says upscale and swanky like velvet cushions. They’re soft, elegant, and look positively fine when styled atop your cherished furnishings. The texture of the fabric is thick and sumptuous - perfect for evoking a posh and classy appeal. No matter what type of upholstery such cushions are paired with, they always tend to feel lavish and magnificent.
Whether you want to curl up on the couch with a hot mug of coffee, want to style a cozy reading nook, or even simply want to add texture to your spaces, a throw is a perfect way to do that.
Blue is a colour that is often related to a sense of calm. It’s also considered royal, tranquil, and serene. Therefore, it’s quite a popular hue to be used in interior designs - especially in accent pieces like throw cushions and pillows.
If there’s one colour that you can never go wrong with, it’s black! The dark, achromatic essence of this hue is perfect for contrasting and accenting various interior design themes - thus, it’s the best colour for cushions!
If there’s one fabric pattern that never goes out of style, it’s the stripes. Truly evergreen and timeless enough to appeal to contemporary sensibilities, the stripes are a well-loved cushion pattern that can be styled in many ways.
If you’ve got a furniture piece that requires accenting, then here’s how you can spruce it up with striped cushions and all the various designs that they can be paired with.

Making sure it’s timeless, beautiful and not too busy or tacky? Today, we’ll show you how to do it using cushions as an example. And of course you can apply the same if not similar approach across other decors too.
Another very common question we get from our clients. And it is also one of our favorite questions. The best part is there is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on the look you want to achieve. And the options are endless!
