Styling Tip: Mix shapes and textures — square, Euro, and lumbar cushions in linen, velvet, or cotton — to add depth, personality, and visual interest.
Styling Tips for a Cohesive Look
- Mix textures – Combine linen, cotton, velvet, and handloom fabrics for a layered, inviting space.
- Balance shapes & sizes – Pair square cushions with lumbar or accents for visual harmony.
- Play with colour – Coordinate with your sofa or bed and add a statement cushion for contrast.
Layer thoughtfully – Place larger cushions at the back and smaller accent cushions in front.
Cushions and throws are one of the easiest ways to transform a space, adding warmth, texture, and personality.
Cushion & Throw Care Guide
Caring for Linen Cushions
Our European linen cushions are woven to exact specifications for softness, strength, and colour intensity. To keep them looking and feeling their best:
- Machine wash: Warm, gentle cycle with mild liquid detergent
- Drying: Low heat tumble dry
- Ironing: Iron on reverse side as needed
Tip: Avoid bleach or harsh detergents to maintain colour and fibre integrity
Linen cushions are naturally durable, but handling with care will ensure your pieces last for years.
Caring for Throws
Throws vary depending on material and decorative details:
- Check care labels before washing
- Tassels or delicate details: Hand wash and line dry
- Other throws: Warm machine wash on gentle cycle, light tumble dry
Tip: Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat to preserve softness and colour
Treat your throws with gentle care to maintain their texture, colour, and quality.
Quick Reminders for Longevity
- Regular dusting and gentle shaking keeps cushions and throws fresh
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading
- Rotate and refluff cushions to maintain shape and comfort
- Store delicate items in a cool, dry place if not in use for extended periods
