Design cushions: the comforting touch
Cushions are the simplest way to refresh a home with the seasons: a few new covers are enough to change the mood.
Styling with cushions
On a sofa, combine different sizes (50 × 50 and 40 × 60 cm, for example) and vary the materials within one colour range. On a large sofa, four or five cushions are enough; on an armchair, a single rectangular cushion supports the back.
Materials
Linen brings a natural, relaxed look, wool warmth in winter, velvet a hushed richness. Cushions by Affari of Sweden favour natural tones and rich textures.
Your questions
Should cushions match the sofa?
No: a slight contrast in colour or texture shows the sofa off better.
How do I care for a linen cover?
Wash at 30 °C and dry flat; linen is happy to be worn slightly crumpled.
