Colourful velvet cushions: choose a cushion like a pro!

When it comes to adding a touch of luxury and comfort (and dopamine!) to your living space, velvet cushions are a popular choice. The soft texture and elegant look of velvet can instantly elevate the ambiance of any room. But with so many options available, how do you choose the right colour and pattern to suit your interior best?

Consider Your Existing Décor

Before selecting a velvet cushion, take a look at your existing décor. Consider the colour scheme and style of your furniture, walls, and other accessories. If you have a neutral colour palette, a bold velvet cushion in a jewel tone like emerald green or sapphire blue can make a statement. For a more subtle look, opt for a cushion that complements the existing colours in your space.

If your walls are dark, consider light coloured cushions for contrast. For pastel walls, opt for darker tone cushions to create interest and make them stand out.

Play with Contrasts

Adding a pop of colour through velvet cushions can create a striking contrast in your interior. If you have a monochromatic room, consider choosing a velvet cushion in a vibrant hue like mustard yellow to add visual interest.

Mix and Match Patterns

Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns with your velvet cushions. If you have solid-coloured furniture, incorporating patterned velvet cushions can add depth and texture to the room. Consider geometric patterns for a modern touch or floral patterns for a more feminine look.

Change cushion covers by the season! 

Seasonal changes bring different colour palettes and textures that can completely transform the look and feel of a room. By changing your cushion covers, you can easily update your decor without breaking the bank. It also allows you to protect your cushions from wear and tear, extending their lifespan.
