Want a sofa that looks effortlessly stylish? The secret lies in how you mix and match cushions. Combining prints, colours, and textures adds personality, balance and artistic flair to your living room. In this guide, we break down the rules and tricks that help you style confidently, whether you prefer minimal or maximal aesthetics.
Start with a Colour Story
Before choosing cushions, pick a 2–3 colour palette. This helps maintain harmony even when combining several prints. Your cushion set styling becomes easier when you stick to a theme- pastels, earthy tones, jewel tones or monochrome.
Identify the Hero Cushion
Your hero cushion should have a bold print or colour. Everything else complements this design. For example, the Sunset Sorbet is a great choice to have as the anchor to the other design elements for your couch.
Mix Patterns the Smart Way
Follow the rule of three:
-
Big prints
-
Medium prints
-
Small prints or textures
This balance keeps your cushion combinations exciting without looking chaotic.
Bring in Textures
Textures are crucial to breaking visual monotony. When working with cushion texture ideas, think of:
-
Linen for simplicity
-
Velvet for luxury
-
Embroidery for character
-
Cotton slub for softness
