HOW TO STYLE CHRISTMAS CUSHIONS
Ready to celebrate the festive season in style? Try a Christmas cushion or two (or three…)
Deck the halls (and the sofa)
Adorned with everything from Santa to trees, 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.
JOLLY CHRISTMAS CUSHIONS AND THROWS
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 textured, embroidered 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.
RUSTIC CHRISTMAS CUSHIONS AND THROWS
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. Deep red is the ideal starting point; mix in shades of green and darkly dramatic florals to create a richly decorated and sumptuous 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.
