Find a voguish cushion arrangement to elevate the visual appeal of your sofa. Perfectly arranged cushions not only make a sofa look fancy but also make it seem more inviting and cosy.
Your luxury sofa needs an eye-catching cushion arrangement. Cushions are not just decor essentials, they are also functional. They are as important as your sofa’s seasonal garment changes—a fantastic way to style any sofa, to suit your personality.
A set of new cushions can revive the charm of an old sofa, and can even transform an entire couch arrangement. Do not play down the potential of these couch staples. Below are some stylish cushion arrangement ideas that can spruce up your space.
This cushion arrangement is for minimalists—two cushions help add a simple and chic aesthetic. Place two matching cushions adjacent to each other—maintaining a proportional gap between them, in the sofa’s centre. Create a cohesive, sophisticated look with similar or matching fabrics or grab attention by opting for contrasting fabrics.
Place two cushions on one end of the sofa; arrange a larger cushion first, and place a slightly smaller cushion in front. On the other end of the couch, place a single cushion.
For this arrangement, try varied textures and subtle patterns to create timeless elegance. For a relaxed look, you can also place lounge cushions in colours matching your couch.
Alternatively, you may opt for cushions in contrasting hues and bold geometric prints to elevate visual appeal. When arranging cushions, many people prefer fewer cushions on the couch and this arrangement is ideal for them.
This cushion arrangement calls for placing two cushions—one on both ends of the sofa—and a third cushion in the centre. The balanced cushion arrangement offers a tidy look.
You may also place two large base cushions on both sides, prop two smaller cushions against them, and place an extra feature cushion overlapping the one in the centre. The cushions in the centre can be of a different shape. This unique arrangement can allow you to play with shapes, colours, textures and patterns to create a layered look.
You can create this effortless arrangement by placing two large cushions on each end of the sofa and layer them with a front cushion on both sides. Think 55cm x 55cm for the large cushions — and prop slightly smaller cushions (45cm x 45cm) against them.
You don’t necessarily have to confine all your cushions to the end of your couch. To change the norm, place your cushions a little away from the ends.
When choosing this arrangement, you should style it with at least three cushions but it also works wonders with even numbers larger than two. The centralised cushion arrangement is perfect for couches that are too small to accommodate multiple arrangements or couches that are too long for cushion placements at either end.
In addition, this arrangement is a perfect fit for curved sofas that do not have structured ends. Feel free to experiment with some rounded unconventional cushion designs to create a harmonious combination.
For those looking for a touch of drama—you can achieve this look by opting for cushions in varying sizes, textures and colours. You can place two cushions on one end, three on the other, and a single cushion in the centre.
But you should style a minimum of one cushion from the set that matches or complements the colour or fabric of your sofa to create a cohesive look. You can add depth and a sumptuous appeal to this cushion arrangement by adding different textures such as fur and velvet.
Deceptively named ‘scatter cushions’ and ‘throw cushions,’ the arrangement of these decorative pillows requires some skills and understanding to achieve the best look.
