Striped Cushions

How to use striped cushions

Versatile and timeless, striped cushions are a simple way to add rhythm and structure to your styling. Their linear design draws the eye, creating visual flow across a sofa or bed. Wide stripes feel bold and graphic, while fine pinstripes add subtle texture. Whether you opt for tonal shades or lively contrasts, you’ll find plenty of beautiful options to pair with stripes in the designs from our collection of cushions. Use our stripes to break up solid blocks of colour or to anchor more expressive prints.

For the best result, structure matters. Ensure your striped cushions keep their shape with a quality cushion inner that offers support and loft. On a sofa, use stripes as grounding pieces at each end, or scatter them among plainer cushions for an easy, balanced look. They also bring definition to casual beds or window seats, especially when you vary the stripe width or texture. Try pairing cotton stripes with soft boucle or velvet for added dimension.

Styling with striped cushions gives you endless pairing potential, especially when mixing prints. Because of their clean lines, they work wonderfully with floral cushions, adding contrast and cohesion in one move. For a classic look, pair navy stripes with oversized blooms in a complementary palette. For something more eclectic, go bold with multicoloured stripes alongside small-scale florals. Just keep your colours connected across the group and the result will always feel intentional and refined.
