Why Cushions & Soft Furnishings Matter
Soft furnishings aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re about atmosphere. The right combination of fabrics and textures can:
✔ Instantly add warmth and comfort to your living space. ✔ Introduce seasonal updates without a complete overhaul. ✔ Define different areas in open-plan spaces. ✔ Showcase your personality through color, pattern, and texture. ✔ Offer practical benefits, like extra support for seating or added coziness in the bedroom.
With our new arrivals, you’ll have the perfect excuse to refresh your interiors effortlessly.
Choosing the Right Cushions: Style Meets Comfort
When selecting cushions, balance is key. Here’s how to get it right:
1. Mix Textures for Depth
Combining velvets, linens, chunky knits, and embroidered fabrics creates visual interest and a rich, layered look. Our latest collection features everything from sumptuously soft velvets to artisanal handwoven designs, bringing depth and character to any setting.
2. Play with Patterns
Not sure how to mix patterns? The trick is balance. Pair bold prints with subtle textures or solid colors to keep things visually appealing without overwhelming the space. Our new range includes everything from chic geometrics to delicate florals, perfect for any aesthetic.
3. Get the Right Fill
Feather-filled cushions give a luxurious, plump look that holds its shape beautifully, while foam or synthetic fills are great for structured support. Whatever your preference, we have options to suit both style and comfort.
4. Think About Shape & Size
Square, rectangular, oversized—mixing different cushion shapes adds dimension to your décor. Opt for larger cushions on sofas for a plush look and smaller ones for layering and detail.
Throws & Blankets: Layering for Luxury
A well-placed throw can take your sofa, bed, or armchair to the next level. Whether draped casually or neatly folded, they add an element of warmth and style. Our new arrivals include tactile wool blends, lightweight linens, and ultra-soft cashmere throws that will have you wrapped up in luxury.
Styling Tips for Throws:
✔ For a relaxed look: Casually drape a throw over the arm of a sofa or the foot of the bed. ✔ For a structured look: Fold it neatly over a bench, ottoman, or chair. ✔ For added coziness: Layer multiple throws in complementary tones to create an inviting space.

The Finishing Touches: How to Style Like a Pro
✔ Layer, layer, layer – Mix and match different sizes, shapes, and textures to create depth and visual interest. ✔ Odd numbers work best – Group cushions in sets of three or five for a natural, curated look. ✔ Mix & match fabrics – Pairing different materials keeps your space from looking too uniform. ✔ Don’t forget the function – A beautifully styled sofa or bed is only as good as it is comfortable!
