Choosing the perfect cushions.
Cushions have always been vital to completing a room due to adding comfort to a sofa or softening hardback furniture, creating luxury and the mood of the surroundings. The choice of colours and designs are completely down to the owners’ taste, whether you are achieving an interiors scheme that is light and serene or invigorating and vibrant. Let your choice be individual or tie colours and patterns in with the room’s curtains, rugs or wallpaper for a colour coordinated look. Ornaments can dictate a design decision or colours from your sofa and armchair fabric.
Allow your chosen cushions to raise the mood and theme of the room’s layout, instead of a sparse or rigid colour scheme, be courageous by introducing designs that do not match and colours that are warm and exciting. You control whether the style is a powerful design statement and dominates a room or empathises with the furniture and story that you are aiming to achieve for your living room, bedroom, kitchen or conservatory. Inject style and glamour and repeat a colour or pattern and source unusual materials to convey an eclectic look, alternatively select sleek contemporary designs and monotone colours to keep the overall effect simple and yet luxuriously smart.

A swift and economical way to change the appearance and feel of any room, in the home, is by spending some money on luxurious cushion covers and pads. Good quality materials, classic designs and rich and smart colours will enhance an ageing sofa or tired armchairs and to complete the look, add throws which echo the design or have a colour linked to your chosen cushions. Source cushion pads that are of a high quality duck or goose down, they will not only provide extra comfort but make the cushion cover look smarter. A designer tip that we, at BTCbyDESIGN use, is fill the cushion cover with a pad that is approximately 3cm larger than the cushion cover size and it creates added comfort and the cushion remains thick and luxurious at all times.
