Styling your couch with personality

Cushions are an easy way to refresh your couch and structure the space around it. Stick to a clear colour palette, vary the textures, and combine solids with patterns for a balanced look. Play with proportions and group them in threes or fives. Whether placed close together or more freely, a thoughtful mix brings warmth and intention to your living room.

5 basic rules to follow

Stick to a palette

Choose three to five colours and repeat them throughout your arrangement.

Create balance

Distribute shapes, colours, and prints evenly on each side of the couch.

Mix textures

Combine different fabrics to add depth and interest.

Add patterns

Use one or two graphic or organic prints to bring energy to the composition.

Play with dimension

Vary sizes and thickness to make the whole arrangement feel dynamic and layered.

Side-by-side arrangement

Arranging all the cushions on one side creates a clean and structured look. It makes the space feel calm and intentional.

Separated arrangement

Placing cushions in balanced groups on each side of the sofa brings symmetry without feeling rigid. It’s a timeless and easy-to-style layout that always feels polished.

Hybrid arrangement

A mix of sizes and placements, even with some asymmetry, adds warmth and personality. This relaxed layout gives your couch a lived-in and welcoming feel.
