Nice room, Kerry.

Kelbel, yes, new cushions are in order.

Hello,

I quite like the cushions minnie101 showed you. If I was you I would definitely go for contemporary style cushions as you have got that type of living room. Would you consider adding some warm colours?

Duck egg blue can definitely go too, and warm colours might be a nice change, particularly going into winter. Thank you - i'll take a look at the website xx

Hello,

Forgot to say that it is a very lovely room, well done for the current decoration!

These me look a similar style to the ones you already have but a bit brighter. I saw them in the store at the weekend and thought of them when I saw your post. B&Q have some really nice cushions actually, I don't know how they hold up though as I've never bought them from there yet.

If you want to go properly individual you could go a bit further afield and order online community designed ones from threadless. You'd have to add customs charges to the prices and I've never bought anything but t-shirts from them but it would mean getting something much more individual.That way you can get something to your taste - they vary a lot...

I speak as both a designer and a householder/lover of making and buying things! This is not my style, I love a lot of colour, but I do have a friend who goes for your look (which looks lovely in context, just not my thing). However, as a designer, I would say, to do this look properly, that is using lots of neutrals, you need to inject some strong texture to make it work. I would go for some chalky off white furry cushions, even some pale chunky knits in off whites and greys. You COULD go the way of injecting colour, but I would warn against diluting your style, as you clearly do it so well. If you put a few strong highlights in as contrast, you are unbalancing the scheme and turning it into something quite different - and your eye will go straight to those items, not the lovely restful feeling you have already, you will also need to balance those bright cushions out with some strong wall colour, even if in pictures only and maybe carry into other rooms. Far better, I would humbly suggest, not to unbalance what you already have. I love my friends scheme, although not me, its really her and I love it in others peoples houses - don't throw away what you already have a lovely, calm, restful room in neutral tones, just enhance it with more texture.

I would say you could get away with both options as you have them - partly because the geometric cushions are still quite gentle in colour and pick up the glowing tones of the lamps, which look as if they're on; a nice warmer touch for autumn/winter. I also like that note of contrast which the straight lines add to all the curves in the room, ornaments, side tables, lamps etc. So, yes, I would suggest keeping those in place (the flowery cushions looked quite summery) but leave those as the only contrast and colourful patterning, so not as to unbalance things. I would definitely add a textured throw, maybe a thick, creamy white or grey knit, to one arm of the sofa and maybe picks up those glowing tones (still quite light, but warmish colours from the cushions) in one or two tealight holders on the coffee/console table, for instance. This again would make for more of a cosy, autumnal feeling. If you're fairly neutral anyway, you only need a few things to make a real difference. I'm a great believer in a very few seasonal changes anyway, whatever your scheme is like. But yes, love what you've done here and already made so much difference!

I have a number of feature art cushions which would really spruce up your sofa. Even if you just added one as an accent. Please check out www.folksy.com/shops/CobaltMoonDesign for many more ideas.

Kind Regards,

Judith

This sofa would look gorgeous with an oversize furry white cushions, with then a floral type cushions in front and a striped bulky cushion at the front, or visa versa!

I agree about adding textures rather then colour & the room looks really lovely. What about silver like this one from John Lewis http://www.johnlewis.com/voyage-aquila-cushion/p583173

I found a square one from the same company from another website if you prefer square to oblong.

I would add some silver & mocha cushions which would go with your interior. Maybe even loose the duck egg throw & cushion. Next do a silver metallic throw as well which looks great - I can't have it as it's a knit & my cats would just make pulls on it !

Here is the link for the stripe cushions! Enjoy!x

The style and colours of your lounge suggest that if you do decide to add different coloured cushions into the scheme, they should be simple and fairly quiet. Google ikat cushion covers uk and look for cushions that combine white, grey and yellow. The yellow would add just enough colour to lift the design without jumping out at you. You could add a pale yellow throw, yellow lampshades and some small yellow accessories to spread the colour around the lounge.

Wow, what a fabulous collection of suggestions! You have been very clever with your room scheme, allowing you to add accessories with pops of colour, patterns and texture which will change the look & feel of the room without having to start again. Look forward to seeing what you do!

I love your room - and your original cushions! If changing them though, I agree about a different texture. Can I have you rold cushions please? ;-)

Love your lamps too.

"your old", not "you rold"!
