Styling up your sofa adds a whole new dimension of curation to your living room space. It is inexpensive, simple and fun, and has the potential to update any room quickly and simply. The sofa is the centrepiece of the room and dressing it well is crucial to interior styling.
Tips
Don’t worry about getting it just so – cushions on a sofa are a great way to have fun and showcase your creative flair.
Use darker cushions at the rear as a backdrop for the bright, quirky ones to take centre stage at the front.
Larger cushions in a classic shape look great paired with smaller designs with intricate detailing, for instance, an embroidered or crochet cushion.
Throws are a great way of updating an acquired or outdated sofa.
Prioritise texture as a means of giving the sofa contrast and depth, rather than the throw appearing like something thrown on with little thought.
Weighted and quilted designs are great for having a tidy drape, while materials such as velvet add glamour and class.
For corner sofas, a sheepskin across the chaise longue looks stylish and trendy.

Knitted cushions and throws are the ultimate in warm and cosy accessorising. Hand-making items makes them even more special with a unique appeal that has sentimental charm as well as looking great.
