HOW TO STYLE CHRISTMAS CUSHIONS
Ready to celebrate the festive season with flair? Try a Christmas cushion or two (or three…)
Deck the halls (and the sofa)
Adorned with everything from candy canes to reindeer, Christmas cushions provide an instant festive fix. Scatter them on sofas or chairs, layering large and small, or team them with co-ordinating throws to make your space feel seasonal and cosy. Choose bold, bright colours – and don’t be scared to clash patterns and textures for a gorgeously maximalist feel. Christmas cushions also make the perfect gift for anyone who loves this time of year, whether you opt for a subtle seasonal look or a full-on festive design complete with twinkling lights.
STYLE BOLD & BRIGHT CHRISTMAS CUSHIONS
Northern lights
Achieve a subtle, seasonal vibe by choosing a homespun, Nordic-style theme with a neutral palette of off-white, soft beige and shades of grey. Use texture to create warmth and depth, layering knitted, macramé and faux-fur cushions for a luxurious yet rustic feel. Drape fleece and faux-fur throws over furniture for chilly evenings and add a touch of discreet festive sparkle with metallics. This look is low-key yet still festive and perfect for cosy nights in with a glass of mulled wine.
STYLE RUSTIC CHRISTMAS CUSHIONS
Cool Yule
It’s easy to make your Christmas cushion arrangement feel more elegant and grown-up. Keep the colour palette very simple, using just one or two shades from the same tonal range. Chic smoky grey is the ideal starting point; mix in silvery hues and darkly dramatic navy to create a refined and understated festive theme. Pile up cushions in contrasting shapes and sleek seasonal designs, made from luxe fabrics such as velvet, or with smart embellishments, for a premium look and feel.
