Throw Cushions

How to use throw cushions

Simple and effective, throw cushions are one of the easiest ways to bring warmth, style, and structure into any room. Whether you’re updating a sofa, bed, or bench seat, they provide endless versatility. Layer different sizes, shapes, and textures for a more collected look, or keep things minimal with a curated tonal palette. They also work beautifully when matching in with your floor cushions – helping tie together colour and comfort across different zones of your home.

For best results, choose throw cushions with well-made inserts that hold their shape and sit beautifully over time. This not only adds comfort but also keeps your styling looking tailored and inviting. We recommend investing in a cruelty free faux feather insert for a plush, full look without compromising on softness or ethics. Once you have the right base, play with fabric—velvet, linen, or textured weaves—and let the cushion cover do the rest of the work.

If you’re working with a larger space or deep-seated furniture, anchor your setup with structure and scale. Throw cushions work best when you build from the base – starting with size, then layering in colour and detail. We love the look of relaxed, tonal styling using bold large cushions as a backdrop, with smaller patterned or textured options in front. The contrast creates a balanced and welcoming finish, whether you’re styling a lounge, bedroom, or reading nook.
