Plain Cushions

Styling with plain cushions

With their straightforward and simple design, plain cushions help patterns such as pretty florals and elegant gingham cushions commingle without looking fussy. They ground the look and tie various colours and patterns together. When mixing different patterns and textures, make sure that there’s at least one or two plain cushion covers with a common colour, to give the arrangement some unity.

Plain cushions are a great way to add colour, personality and style to your living space. Your wall colour, patterns on the curtain and hanged artwork will determine the colour of your designs; and it should be one that exists in one of these decorative elements. In a room dominated by a neutral colour scheme, a pop of colour, say pink cushions, can add a new lease of life to the space.

Because plain cushion covers spot a simplistic design, the overall aesthetics remain clean and functional, which works well for most interior styles. For example, in a Scandinavian home, whites, creams, greys and soft pastels lend a fresh and gentle palette. To achieve an elegant Hamptons design, focus on decorating wide spaces with classic colour tones. In this case, a minimalist colour palette of plain white, sandy creams and accents of navy and beautiful teal cushions keeps the scheme looking decadent, inviting and relaxed.
