So by now you know we wouldn’t be interior designers and stylists if we didn’t love scatter cushions!
The things we like about scatter cushions and why they are important:
- They can transform the look of a sofa or a bed but also the whole room depending on how and where they are placed and what colours are used to tie in the rest of the room
- They are an inexpensive way of refreshing a room for a new season or whenever you feel like your home needs it! You can change your scatter cushions more easily than your sofa!
- A creative arrangement of pillows and cushions can really be like a mini work of art! You can mix and match patterns and stripes, geometrics and florals and go completely crazy
So why not give this little exercise a try?
If you can’t get to the shops, (due to lock down for example), put all the cushions you have together on the floor and try and see if you can recreate a new arrangement for your different rooms.
Although we don’t want to give you strict guidelines to follow, it is always good to consider these scatter cushion tips:
- Pick a colour palette and stick to it
- Start with the darker tones and work towards the lighter tones
- Layer your cushions! To add more interest into your interior scheme; we love layering!
- To do this, position your biggest cushions at the back and the smaller ones in the front and play with different shapes
- Pattern and texture..don’t be shy, mix and match Velvet with Silk, Stripes with Flowers, checked fabric, bold florals. The only rule is to keep in line with your colour palette
- Ideally we like to recommend odd numbers for your cushion arrangements, as it is visually pleasing but once again, adapt to what you have at hand and your budget!
