Cushions, where?

When we think of cushions, we always think of sofas. Although the sofa is the favorite place for cushions, it is not the only one! Here are the places where you can have them.

In the living room : Cushions have their place on the sofa and on the armchairs, of course. But you can also buy floor cushions (yes, they exist!), to place in a corner of your room, or at the edge of the coffee table when you receive guests. If your window sills are wide enough, you can also have them there.

In a bedroom : In a bedroom, cushions are ideal for dressing the bed when you're not in it. Remember to match them to your sheets so that there is not too much of a mix of colors or patterns, otherwise the decoration could seem too busy!

In the dining room : If your dining room chairs lack comfort, do not hesitate to install cushions on them. Some are specially designed for, and have a strap that is used to hold the cushion to the chair. In addition, you can match the color of your cushions according to the decoration of your table!

Outdoors : If you are lucky enough to have a garden or a balcony, know that there are outdoor cushions. Quite practical, especially since outdoor furniture tends not to be very comfortable.

Some tips for matching your cushions to the furniture

All these colors, shapes and patterns are making you lose your mind? Don't panic, we are here to advise you. It's not that difficult to match your cushions with your furniture, there are just a few rules to follow. First of all, know that if you are afraid of making a mistake in taste, you can choose gray cushions. They match all other colors, the warmest and the coldest. Next, try to create a contrast with the colors: for example, if you have a light sofa, choose dark cushions, and vice versa. If your interior already has several colors, the ideal is for your cushions to recall one of the colors already present in the room. If your interior is quite sober, this is the opportunity to add some color!

The rules to follow when matching cushions together

Matching cushions to your furniture is fine, you know how to do it. Now we are going to give you some tips for matching your cushions with each other. Indeed, even if each cushion goes well with the furniture individually, the whole may not be harmonious at all! We advise you not to mix different patterns together unless they stay in the same tones. For example, you can combine two cushions, both black and white, but with different patterns. Likewise for colors, you should not mix more than two different ones, unless they make up a monochrome. You can also mix different materials, while ensuring that the colors are the same.
