Vintage Cushions

How to use vintage cushions

Full of charm and character, vintage cushions bring a sense of story to any space. Their soft tones, floral prints, or faded stripes add instant warmth and individuality. The key to making vintage work in a modern home is balance -curate the look so it feels intentional rather than themed. One of the easiest ways to do this is to pair them with contemporary cushions from our range, blending old-world charm with clean, current lines for a look that’s timeless, not time-warped.

For a touch of personality, lean into colour and print combinations that nod to the past. Vintage cushions often feature buttery yellows, dusty pinks, soft greens, or faded blues – colours that feel nostalgic but still gentle. To enhance the look, mix in retro-inspired styles like geometric motifs or scalloped edging for a cohesive palette with subtle visual interest. This works beautifully on a white sofa or as a highlight on a window seat, giving your space character without overpowering it.

Texture plays a vital role in creating a home that feels layered and lived-in. Style vintage cushions with pieces that echo their softness and tactility – natural linens, light cottons, or some textured boucle cushions work beautifully to round out the mix. Add these to armchairs, beds or benches for a curated yet relaxed feel. Whether you’re chasing a cottage-core look or just want something more collected and personal, vintage accents offer timeless appeal with lasting comfort.
