Our top five points when shopping for new cushions are as follows:
Current Design & Style
When it comes to cushion covers, our team have one major point to make, you need to decide whether you are following your current design and style that you already have, or finding something new to fit in with the aesthetic of your home. Cushion covers can without a doubt finish a room and take it to a whole new level so it is important to take a step back and look at the current design and style in your room to help you decide which cushion cover will work best.
Cushion covers can be designed in any colour, shape or style so you will without a doubt be able to find one that works for you, it may just take a little time. Here at The Cushion Guys we recommend taking a step back to the doorway of the room your new cushion covers will be going in and taking in the room. Are you looking for traditional, retro, eclectic or neutral? All of these aspects will need to be taken into consideration when it comes to choosing that perfect cushion cover.
Fabrics
When it comes to shopping for cushion covers you need to take into account the footfall in your home or the space you are choosing cushion covers for. Thinking about fabric needs to be practical, there is no point in your purchasing an exquisite silk cushion cover if you have children who are going to chuck it on the floor and jump on it. You need to be careful with the fabrics you choose.
There is a vast range of cushion cover fabrics on the market today and you need to work out whether you need durable, easy to care for, easy to clean cushion covers or you would like something a little more fragile yet elegant. The decision between cotton or velvet is incredibly important and that is why fabric choice has made it onto our top 5 things you must consider when searching for cushion covers.
Colours & Patterns
In a similar category to fabrics, another important thing to consider when shopping for new cushion covers is the colour or pattern you choose. One of the great things about cushion covers is that they can be swapped out across the seasons or when you fancy a subtle change within your home. Making the decision between bold and vibrant cushion covers versus neutral, light covers can be incredibly difficult.
Choosing the right cushion cover colour or pattern can really help elevate a room and add your own personality, one thing we recommend giving a try is a handful of block colours with the odd patterned cushion cover adding into the mix, this will shake things up and we promise it will look stunning. You won’t regret it.
Try Something New
We all know the stress and hassle that it is redecorating a space when you become bored of the same old same old. Have you considered changing your cushion covers? Put redecorating a whole room aside and simply change the cushion covers. You can choose quite literally anything you want when it comes to new cushion covers, this gives you the reins to completely change the aesthetic of your room without breaking the bank.
For example, if you are ready for something a little classy and flirty, add some elegant velvet cushion covers or if you need a practical option you can simply change the colour or design to add a fresh pop of colour. Cushion covers really can change the whole design and feel of the room, and it is so simple to do. Especially when you know companies like us who can offer you bespoke and custom cushion covers.
Another way you can explore the use of cushion covers to try something new within your home is by playing around with texture. Differently textured cushion covers can really elevate your sofa for example. Crinkle or bubbles cushions not only add a pop of colour but also texture and depth. If you haven’t used textured cushion covers before, you MUST give it a go. We promise you will always choose textured cushion covers forever.
Size & Shape Do Matter
Regardless of what anyone says, size and shape without a doubt matters when it comes to cushions and cushion covers. They will impact the overall final look of a room, whether it be your bedroom, living room or office. Having cushion covers that are too big or too small will make the room look strange. Choosing cushions that are the same size, with differing cushion covers on will allow for depth and design to be achieved. So would having a mixture of cushions with cushion covers on that compliment each other, but it is important to consider the final look when deciding on size or shape.
