How to wash cushions

To ensure your cushions stay in tip-top condition, it's best to launder your cushion covers and inserts separately. Always check the care labels and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Some covers can be machine washed, but make sure you remember to close the zip to avoid damage from tangling. Bulky cushion inserts are generally best hand washed in a tub with a quick soak in mild detergent, followed by some gentle wringing.

What size cushion insert do I need for my cover?

As a general rule of thumb, use a cushion insert that is at least 1 cm larger than your cushion cover, and anywhere up to 5 cm bigger. This ensures your filled cushion is plump, voluminous and inviting to use. One of the most common cushion cover sizes is 45 cm x 45 cm, for which you would typically use a 46 cm x 46 cm sized insert.

Which decorative cushions are best for traditional interiors?

Most people think traditional cushions are plain and boring, but this is far from the truth. Traditional cushions can come in a variety of designs, but there are some things to consider for decorative cushions in a traditional interior. Below, you will find the main factors to consider when you buy traditional cushions for the home.

• Colour: The colour of a traditional cushion cannot be too bold, since this would draw the wrong type of attention in a traditional interior. Suitable colours for traditional interiors include warm white, beige, darker reds, browns, and similar colours.
• Design: Traditional colours can be plain or have a pattern. If you are looking for a patterned cushion for a traditional interior, be sure to consider some of the most popular choices - this includes floral patterns, African prints, and Persian prints.
• Shape: Even though the shape is not the most important thing for your traditional cushions, it is recommended to choose the basic rectangular cushion for traditional interiors. It is also recommended to choose cushions with the same design and shape for one room, since different cushions could make the room appear cluttered and out-of-date.

Which decorative cushions are best for contemporary interiors?

Since contemporary is a mix of traditional and modern, customers will find many contemporary cushions they could use in their homes. Of course, there are still some things to consider where colour, design, and shape are concerned.

• Colour: There is no limit to the colours you could use for a contemporary interior. However, bolder colours are usually the better choice for contemporary interiors. Therefore, you could easily choose colours such as bright orange, green, yellow, and even pink to make your contemporary interior a little more enticing.
• Design: When you check out our range of contemporary cushions, you will notice that there are many unique patterns to choose from - this does not only include brightly coloured illustrations on cushions, but also contemporary patterns such as triangles and squares. So, depending on your preferences, you can choose a bold design to match your interior.
• Shape: Like colour and design, there is no real limitation to the shape of decorative cushions for contemporary interiors. You could choose the basic rectangular shape for your decorative cushions, but also other shapes such as oval, circular, and more unusual shapes.
