Interiors Help! Me to find that work with my sugar please!

Okay so I have a new habitat orange sofa and arm chair the same as the less chunky one in the pics I’m about to attach.

I’m also getting a cream and black rug similar to the one pictured.

I really need help with cushions though! I don’t feel that confident choosing things that aren’t too matchy matchy but love those pictured ( especially the shaggy coloured and geometric ones). Can anyone find me some nice cushions online that would work well?

TIA x

Oh bugger
Should read: need to find cushions that work with sofa

No sugar involved.

Check out Homebase - especially the monochrome ones and tufted ones.

Then Sass and Belle.

And Dunelm!

Thanks very much Cataline. I think I’m okay for the monochrome cushions- some of those were lovely. It’s the bold colourful ones I’m not so confident choosing. As I say, I don’t want it all matching!

Any ideas folks?

Well, I only opened this to find out what work with my sugar meant! Grin

Love the colour, it's going to look ace!

IKEA have velvet cushion covers in navy or forest green that will both look good with this orange. Sanele is the product name.

@DownWhichOfLate I actually love that but we had it as wall paper in my old house about ten years ago before that design was absolutely everywhere! Shame though.

Have you checked out West Elm? Pricey but something like this could work: [[https://www.westelm.co.uk/crewel-outlined-shapes-pillow-cover-t5956]] and a few other geometric designs.

Love that colour!

PompomDahlia · 29/11/2021 14:51

Sorry link fail www.westelm.co.uk/crewel-outlined-shapes-pillow-cover-t5956

I have sofa envy :). How about HomeSense or TK Max? They usually have a good selection of cushions at reasonable prices. Have you got a friend you can take with you who’s good at this stuff? That’s what I usually do.

PompomDahlia · 29/11/2021 14:52

Also check out Anthropologie for bright cushions in interesting textures

lunarlandscape · 29/11/2021 14:52

How about these ?

lunarlandscape · 29/11/2021 14:55

These are different from the ones in your photo but shaggy cotton in bold geometrics and quite fun imo.

lunarlandscape · 29/11/2021 14:56

Bargain!

MincePieQueen · 29/11/2021 14:56

Hmm the Ian snow one wouldn’t work with the pictures we have on the wall.

@PompomDahlia there’s a lovely Margo Shelby cushion on that website. Thanks

One of these - here

I will look for some more. How many do you want?

Is there anything you don't like, such as flowers etc?

MincePieQueen · 29/11/2021 15:01

@lunarlandscape they’re lovely but would they work with a bold colours? I don’t really want just monochrome

OP posts:
PrittySticky · 29/11/2021 15:02

This is nice - Etsy

I personally wouldn't spend a lot of money on them, then you won't feel reluctant to change the decor in the future.

MincePieQueen · 29/11/2021 15:04

@PrittySticky, thanks I’m looking for solid blocks of colour/geometric patterns rather than flowers or animals

cataline · 29/11/2021 15:04

What other accent colours do you have in the room?

We have an orange sofa the same as this plus a navy one too.
Our accents are gold and teal/turquoise with small pops of fuchsia.

MincePieQueen · 29/11/2021 15:07

Sorry they’re a bit too fussy for me.
Could I mix these with monochrome cushions do you think?

Orange

Blue

Both lovely.

MincePieQueen · 29/11/2021 15:10

Sorry it was the Etsy ones that were fussy.

Room is currently chalky white with a very bold abstract canvas in bright mixture of colours. We’re going to paint a charcoal grey feature wall soon.

PrittySticky · 29/11/2021 15:11

What are the blinds/curtains like? Plain?

MincePieQueen · 29/11/2021 15:21

Yes plain mid grey :( not our choice
