We are sure you will find something to help you with the situation you are in. Cushion covers can be complicated to decide what to do with, let our team here at The Cushion Guys help you in any way we can. 

Stick Your Your Colour Scheme 

More often than not, sofa cushion covers are one block colour, but when it comes to the throw cushions you can choose from millions of cushion cover options. This can without a doubt be daunting and also quite off-putting when it comes to decorating with accessories. The biggest tip we can give you from our team is to remember to coordinate with your original colour scheme unless of course, you are redecorating. 

The key to success with mixing and matching cushion covers is to pair bold, loud prints with calm neutral tones, we recommend for every 2 neutral cushions, you add a loud, patterned design. This will add depth to your sofa or area you have put your cushions in and make it more appealing to the eye. 

Be Bold

Following on from the previous point about keeping within your colour scheme and design, you can still go a little extra with your cushion covers. Remember, first of all, they are a cheaper way of finding a colour that works in your room, be bold! When it comes to cushion covers, it goes without saying, if you have a neutral room such as a grey living room, the best thing you can do is add a pop of bright, vibrant colour. Orange/ mustard colours have been incredibly popular over the last few years. Mixing and matching colours works not only for cushion covers but also cushion covers and wall colour/ furniture colours. 

Layer Textures 

Another way to mix and match your cushion covers is by layering different textures, whether it be on your bed, sofa or window bench. Textured cushion covers bring an element of modern design even if your home is a more traditional set-up. One thing we should say does not to be afraid of textures, a lot of people don’t know how to mix and match the different textures, the best way to do it is to just try. We promise mix and matching cushion covers such as fluffy with silk will bring the element of drama you are looking for. 

Rearrange Your Set-Up 

This might sound like a strange concept, but you might already have a handful of cushions with different patterns, designs and colours already dotted around through your home. Have you ever thought about mixing them up a bit? Bring those cushions that get chucked on the floor from your bed every night into your living room and vice versa, or mix them up and bring half and half up and down. By doing this you are simply mixing and matching cushion cover designs you already have, saving you purchasing more, but giving you a new look in each room. 

Look Everywhere For Inspiration 

When it comes to mixing and matching your cushion covers the best thing you can do is look everywhere for inspiration. Having the luxury these days to use fabrics from other areas you might find a brand new pattern or design through a scarf you have had lying around for years, or an old skirt. Having custom made cushion covers available to you gives you the chance to mix and match your cushion covers with a range of endless designs. 

Your Home Isn’t A Show Home 

One thing we see time and time again online through articles and photos is that once people have mastered the mix and match method, the cushions remain forever untouched. Believe it or not some homeowners do not like their cushions being used. Here at The Cushion Guys do not agree with this, a cushion cover you have found and love should be cuddled up to on the sofa, slept on in bed and any other way you want to use the cushion. 

Once you have found your perfect mix and match of cushions, get your karate hand out and chop the cushions, this will keep them plump and ready for whenever you need a comfy sit down with your new cushions. 

Shape & Size 

One of the easiest ways to mix and match your cushions, aside from differing cushion covers is mixing up the shapes and seizes you choose. Having all of your cushions the same size, shape and thickness can make wherever they are placed look very formal and regimented, mixing it up gives a more relaxed view. 

Cushions come in all different shapes and sizes, if you find a cushion that is a particularly strange shape, finding a company like ours that can make custom cushion covers will help you get the shape, size and style cushion you want easily. 

Different Cushions For Different Rooms 

When it comes to mixing and matching cushions across your home, you can still choose to have different colour schemes across your home. Mixing and matching cushion covers doesn’t need to be about neutral and bolds, it can be a case of mixing and matching colours of the same density. For example, you could have a light grey and a light yellow mixed and matched together to make a neutral corner in your bedroom. 

Alike mixing neutral colours, depending on your personality and preferences you can mix and match incredibly bold colours as well. 

Contrast Works

When we talk about mixing and matching cushion covers we don’t always mean just mixing and matching block colours. What about mixing patterns? Stripes and spots? Squares and circles, all work hand in hand with each other in a different way to colours. 

You can choose to mix and match colours and patterns, patterns and patterns, colours and colours, there are so many ways available to you to mix and match cushion covers in a way that will make any room in your home pop. 

Try Metallics

One of the simplest ways you can mix and match your cushion covers is by having normal coloured cushions and disperse metallic cushion covers between them. By doing this you add a new element to each room and it will also add a textured and edgy finish that is exciting.  Keeping your home chic yet simple. The perfect way to mix and match cushion covers to bring an element of excitement to rooms in your home.
