Which cushions??

15 replies

I’m in the process of sprusing up my lounge. I’ve got some new pictures which include this floral one. I wanted to take a colour from this print & get some nice new cushions. Any ideas what colour is best? I’ve added a pic but also open to suggestions as I’m at a loss.

Sofa is dark grey, walls are light grey. Dark wood floor. Lots of plants.

Thanks!

ETA I have a 2 seater & a 3 seater to fill

If the walls and sofa are both grey, I'd be tempted to go for all 3 colours, and maybe add a golden yellow as well, to pick out all of the colours in that print. But I like a lot of colour!

I’m starting to agree… what do you think of this cushion? it’s a lot more £ than the others. Would perhaps just have one on each sofa…

yes that would work well with the print and ALL the other colour cushions 😁And just good to break up the grey.

You probably need to mix textures as well as colours to break up the colour blocking

I’m not sure if I’m brave enough 😂 though I did like the look of this…

Do you know how best to do that?

Something like these

fhwt.app.link/EwRgmlAPBOb

Or this

fhwt.app.link/1YQv6jEPBOb

Rectangular shape and different sizes too

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/harlequin-cupola-cushion/paprika/p6310366?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

Yes that looks colourful and cheerful. Be brave! It's just cushions! What's the worst that can happen? 😂

Oh, and get some plants as well, and a nice big lamp or two. You can't go wrong with plants and lamps.

The Next ones aren’t showing up (I think because you’re link is to the app?) but the JL one is lovely! Not a colour I had considered

So annoying when it does that
Something like these
Different textures and sizes/shapes

I know those colours don't go together but hopefully you catch the drift

MrTiddlesTheCat · 18/11/2024 17:22

I think I'd pick out the yellow/orange tones of the picture. Something like this:

I’m thinking that floral cushion plus two other plain ones maybe. I kill all plants but I do have a few nice artificial ones dotted about. I have a floor lamp. Could get another table lamp. I love lighting!!

I saw this green which is similar to the second one you posted. What do you think?

Like it. It would tie in with your picture
