Decorating a sofa with cushions is a simple way to add colour, texture, and warmth to your living room. There are countless ways to display cushions on a sofa, but here are five ideas to get you started.

 

1. Play With Patterns and Textures

Mixing and matching different patterns and textures is a great way to add visual interest to your sofa. Start with a solid-coloured sofa and add cushions in different patterns and textures. You can try pairing a floral print cushion with a striped one, or a velvet cushion with a faux fur one. Just make sure that the colours in the cushions complement each other and don't clash.

 

 

2. Create a Symmetrical Display

A symmetrical display of cushions can create a sense of order and balance in your living room. Start with two large cushions in the centre of the sofa, and then add two smaller ones on each side. Make sure that the cushions on each side match each other so that the display looks cohesive.

3. Use a Mix of Shapes and Sizes

Using a mix of shapes and sizes can create a dynamic and interesting display of cushions on your sofa. Start with a few large square cushions, and then add some smaller rectangular ones. You can also try adding a few round cushions for a playful touch. Just make sure that the colours and patterns in the cushions complement each other.

4. Create a Colour Story

Creating a colour story with your cushions can tie the entire room together. Start with a solid-coloured sofa and then add cushions in different shades of the same colour. For example, if your sofa is grey, you can add cushions in shades of light grey, dark grey, and charcoal. You can also add a pop of colour with a bright cushion in a contrasting colour, like yellow or green.

 

 

5. Mix and Match Different Styles

Mixing and matching different styles of cushions can create a unique and eclectic display on your sofa. Start with a few cushions that have a traditional or classic look, and then add some modern or contemporary ones. You can also mix different materials, like a leather cushion with a knit one, or a linen cushion with a silk one. Just make sure that the colours and patterns in the cushions complement each other.
