Cushiony comfort
published: Sunday | February 17, 2008


Cushions made by an art student.

Pretty cushions in extravagant fabrics will add luxurious finish and heightens the comfort quotient of your living environs. Throw pillows on a sofa or extra pillows on a bed also invite you to relax - just a little longer.

Cushions can be suited in colours to match every season of the year or every change of decorating mood that you might live. They can also be made for every room in the home - and living spaces where there are no rooms at all.

Outdoors

Outdoor cushions are made to withstand sun and weather. They can be made of UV-resistant outdoor fabric tough enough to withstand the elements yet remain soft to the touch with quick-dry fill. Outdoor cushions are often treated to resist fading, mould and mildew and clean up easily with a mild detergent and warm water.

Wherever they are used in the home, cushions should be designed for comfort and body support.

Throw cushions can also serve as fillers to an otherwise completely furnished room, adding depth and dimension.

Seating

Cushions can be used in low seating areas as well as on sofas. Make sure the ones on the floor are larger than those thrown on the sofa.

In the bedroom cushions on a made-up bed look pretty and elegant. Make sure the colours you choose for your cushions highlight the decor elements which you want to emphasise.

Colours chosen should either contrast or complement the rest of the decor on your room; in a pleasant way.

The experts advise that you should upgrade your rugs when you change your cushions. The two changes together will make a world of difference in your rooms.
