Can you have too many cushions on your bed?
Comments (17)Cushions are definitely a nice addition to a bed when it comes to comfort and cosiness. Rich, fluffy cushions add to the feeling you want to have when you are in bed: you want to feel relaxed. Besides, although they can be a pain to remove before sleeping if you have too many of them, they upgrade your bed to the next design level. I have 5 cushions, all of them rectangular and fluffy. I have mixed the colours, patterns, and textures in order to make my bed stand out: a nice trick for that is to use white sheets, and vivid and colourful cushions to contrast with the whiteness of the bed. Plain velvety mustard yellow and fushia plain cushions mixed with green geometric patterns, ... I've got them all!...See MoreWhat colour bedding and cushions??
Comments (17)Think I've came too decision that I'm going too keep all white duvet set and add a black throw over bottom of bed and a usa flag cushion in middle and black and white New York skyscraper pillow either side Everyone think will look ok?...See MoreWhich cushions with a damask sofa?
Comments (16)Oh I don't think I have the energy to paint a large sofa and the fabric is silk and linen mix so quite nice even if its not quite to my taste. I have found some options at M&S http://www.marksandspencer.com/bantry-weave-cushion/p/p22284021?mfPartNumber=T476719B&carousel=FUNV_RR# so I think I will order the green colours and see how they look. And will try out my throw collection The Loaf cushions were the wrong size, I need 50x50cm. Have you a photo of your painted sofa minnie? Sounds intriguing......See MoreWant to sell scatter cushions

8 years agoHi. I don't think the arrangement is quite right (see one suggestion below). I would also just stick with the teal, mustard and grey rather than the muted shades. You also need to add more pattern and texture. Below is a cushion from next which also picks up the grey.

8 years agoWe want to decorate wall colour but keep wallpaper as its neutral and change cushions, I know the canvas of my room is cream/beige and brown I just don't want it to be boring so I though any colour would help. The room on my phones compass North East we get the morning light and as day goes on it moves to front of house. The sofa is dark brown and the floor is a wooden light brown colour. We are going to change fire insert to silver but changing fireplace at minute in not a option but painting it can be. I did buy a burnt Orange cushions to see what it would look like, I'm trying to create a modern fresh ,cozy feel if that's possible?? I don't know where I am going wrong with the room all other rooms in house have been easy to plan is it the wallpaper? (It has a pearl sheen in it & looks different in different light) I did open a thread but no one answered haha. Any comments, tips and suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.

8 years agoThanks Minnie101, LouisT and AJ Interiors for all your advice. I have hunted around for some cushions which has won the votes of all at home, most imp the kids :-)) see what you think. Also AJ, tx for the suggestion to put the throw on the footstool - would not have thought of that at all! Unfortunately I cannot lower the light though... Also re the lamp you suggest, any advice as to where I should place this? Many many thanks all! My sofa and living room looks beautiful now!!!!

8 years agoI like various things from the picture below, I like the side table and lamp. The pattern cushions are good, they draw the colour from the curtains and the bird cushion is good also but I would put the bird cushion in the bend of the sofa and the floral cushions at each end. The paler cushions I would take a dye to them a deeper blue and maybe another contrast colour (you could make smaller cushion covers from the large blue cushion that you already have if you are handy at sewing) therefore picking out the blue and another colour from your art work. The deep blue throw over the foot stool looks good that way, show the fringe and maybe put it more centrally in the room. TKMax or such shops have reasonably priced lovely large coloured ornaments or vases which could be featured on the window sill or a larger plant, even a fake one, less hassle, again can be found in places like TKMax. Plus make the curtains fuller by drawing them slightly more to the centre of the window, not completely as you don't want to block the lovely daylight and use curtain tie backs (contrast colour, elaborate, simple whatever suits your taste modern, traditional). Using some of these ideas could also help to pull the room together to give a more welcoming appearance. Check pininterest for ideas also. Hope some of this helps, all the best and enjoy your tweaking.
