Honest opinions please. Do these cushions look okay? **Pic attached

Please excuse the mess.

I bought these cushions with some Xmas money I had but I’m just not sure if it looks OTT? Any opinions welcome ☺️

Looks lovely and cosy

I’m not a fan of grey but looks very nice (not cold looking) a little pink would be nice

Runningonempty84 · 11/01/2020 15:06

Not my taste at all. Think fluffy cushions look really tacky. But the rest of your room is beautiful.

EnidButton · 11/01/2020 15:15

Having them on an angle is a bit 90's. They look better square on.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 11/01/2020 15:16

I don't like the angle. Straight looks better.

HarrietThePi · 11/01/2020 15:19

They look really nice, but I've always wondered (being an uncivilised person), are cushions on beds for decoration only or do you sleep on them like pillows?

HarrietThePi · 11/01/2020 15:19

Obviously I have no cushions on my bed

GaaaaarlicBread · 11/01/2020 15:20

What mess ?!?
Absolutely gorgeous , love your whole bed!

user1480880826 · 11/01/2020 15:21

I can’t be the only person who thinks they’re awful? I bet they feel horrible too. Fake fur is really grim.

I also can’t understand the fashion for putting extra cushions on beds that have to be taken off again before you go to bed. It’s like giving your bed jewellery.

theoriginalmadambee · 11/01/2020 15:41

@user1480880826, erh no i think they look a little cheap Blush. But if op is happy, why spoil it with harch words Smile.

Go for it op, each to their own you know.

Ninkanink · 11/01/2020 15:46

The cushions themselves are not to my taste but OP obviously likes them. It’d be ever so boring if we all liked exactly the same thing...

Coco88 · 11/01/2020 15:46

Oh I hope it doesn’t look cheap.

I like the cushions however there needs to be an odd numbers, things look better in 1,3, 5 or 7. It looks nice but for me a is a little pale/bland. Maybe a rectangular cushion along the front, something with a bit of texture/sparkle. Also I would put a largish canvas/picture above the bed.

theoriginalmadambee · 11/01/2020 15:56

@Coco88
I'm into lamb skins. This is one of my pillowcases. I'm sure you think it's scruffy looking and that's OK. We all like different things Smile.

What mess?? Grin

Not my taste but looks ok with the comforter

HuggedTheRedwoods · 11/01/2020 16:07

It looks nice, looks the sort of cosy bed you could just snuggle down in. Another vote for your throw too.

Ninkanink · 11/01/2020 16:09

@Coco88 the pink cushion you posted would look great with it.

ChilliMayo · 11/01/2020 16:37

The first photo looked like Bigfoot and Mrs Bigfoot in bed. Bloody brill.

The second photo is much better, although I hope they don't (a) shed, or (b) make your pillow staticky.

Coco88 · 11/01/2020 19:44

I’ve ordered the pink cushion which I can collect tomorrow so I’ll update you all once it arrives ☺️

IamChipmunk · 11/01/2020 20:09

I agree with ninkanink. Love them but needs a third in the middle and also agree the one you have ordered will look great!

I dont think they look cheap. The different textures work well together.
I prefer them square on rather than diamond as well...

Crinkle77 · 11/01/2020 23:09

Sorry don't like the cushions but love the fleece.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 11/01/2020 23:15

I like the fleece & the cushions but not the pink/peach pillows with a frill. If it was me, I'd fold the cover up over the pillows & put the cushions against that. I think it's a lovely combo.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 11/01/2020 23:23

Oh I hope it doesn’t look cheap

Without wanting to be mean, I do find it a little underwhelming, sorry. I don't like pointless extra fuss on beds anyway, but the plush rooms I've seen have several possibly hundreds more, all co-ordinating.

And fluffy seems a bit more teenage than luxe. I wasn't at all surprised when you said they were Next, tbh.

I am however thankful you haven't done that ridiculous karate chop on them Smile

Jozen · 11/01/2020 23:44

I like the fleece on the bed but that room is screaming for a bit of colour Grin.
A colourful simple print above the bed and then maybe a third cushion in a bright colour from the print.

Runningonempty84 · 12/01/2020 06:43

Yep. Next or Primark, I thought. BUT, chances are I'm never going to go in the OPs bedroom, so I'm not going to be mean about the cheap-looking cushions! Especially when the rest of the room is lovely.

taybert · 12/01/2020 08:16

Do you like them OP? Because if you do and they’re in your bedroom then surely it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks as no one else (other than a partner) will ever see them really. If you walk in to your room and they make you smile then that’s all that matters. If you’re dressing a B&B room or something that’s different but you can put whatever you like in your own bedroom.
