Cushion extravaganza

August 25th, 2008

Cushions are the ultimate home accessory, instantly changing the look and feel of a room without spending the earth (usually!). With an average piece costing £50-£60, the cushions pictured below (from Missoni‘s 2008 home collection) are very very expensive, but are sure to make a style statement! Bold and brave as usual, Missoni’s designers have gone for super vibrant colours and patterns.

Although I am a great fan of theirs, I don’t think I’m quite ready to decorate my home so extravagantly yet! Nevertheless, these images are great inspiration and a good example of what one can achieve with colour…

Naturally, Coco Målé also stocks a stunning range of cushions; combining great designs and gorgeous silk fabrics, I truly believe our cushions are great value for money. My personal favourites are the Ella cushion, the Glamour cushion, the Layla cushion and our Carrera cushion although I must admit our bestseller by far is the Moda cushion.

For those of you who are new to interior decorating, here are some helpful tips on accessorizing with cushions:

  • Choose a key colour for your main cushions, then add layers of interest with other cushions in patterns and textures that complement your main colour.
  • Mix and match cushions of different sizes and shapes.
  • Always group many cushions together – ideally in sixes – either scattered on the sofa or stacked on your bed.
  • Soft cushions in satin or silk lend a warm, yet rich feel while providing a shiny, sparkling effect.
  • Use cushions as comfy extra seating for guests but make sure your floor cushions are larger than those thrown on the sofa.
  • Don’t be afraid to be bold with colours and pattern – orange stripes that would look terrible on your walls will actually have the opposite effect when used in small amounts in your cushions.
