Arranging Designer Cushions to Decorate Beds: 6 Ideas for Novices
Designer cushions are not just meant for sofas and couches but
also beds. People seem to have taken it more seriously. Many of them litter the
bed with too many of them. Now, there is no doubt that tassel cushions and designer cushions can improve the very
aesthetics of one’s bedroom. And these are not just limited to enriching the
look but also the feel by softening the space. However, too many on a bed can
be a bit messy and add to the chores as you would have to take them off every
night and place them back in the morning. So, the key to arranging lies in quality
and not quantity. Let us share some tips on how to arrange them for maximum
impact.
Hints on How to Get the Cushion Arrangement Right
Pick some
cues on how to decorate your bed with designer or tassel cushions:
- Keep it minimalistic
By minimal,
we imply maintaining symmetry for maximum impact and keeping the number of
cushions under control. Two, three or four are enough. As for colour, create a
contrast with the bedding. The size could vary. For instance, you can arrange
two large and two small together.
- Splash colour into the room
The
greatest advantage of bed cushions is that they add colour to the room. Now imagine
you have your bed covered with classic white linen. You could make it look less
washed out and uninteresting by splashing vibrant colour combinations through
cushions. The key to keeping the entire room themed and in harmony is picking
out accent colours from walls or soft furnishings and using them to draw
inspiration while choosing cushion colours. However, if you are up for a bold
statement, keep the base colour of the designer cushions alike but their tones and hues
different. No matter how you approach the plan, always maintain a cohesive
colour scheme that ties the room together.
- Pick bold patterns
You could
mix up all block colours and add a pattern. It could be geometric, floral, or
oriental. However, avoid having all your cushions in bold patterns as one could
overpower another and turn out to be overwhelming. As for hues, pick from a
colour palette existing in the room. Arrange all the cushions in a way whereby
the patterned ones lead the block colour prints. The latter group of cushions
here, act mostly as the backdrop.
- Maintain a single colour palette
Different
colours and patterns on a set of cushions might overcrowd the aesthetics. You
could prevent it by choosing a single colour palette with dissimilar tones and
hues. Monochrome is what we are indicating. For instance, you could pick blue,
green or yellow and their varying tones. Believe it or not, this would add
depth to your bed without compromising elegance.
- Take time to select the right fabric
Had it been
only about looks, it would have been a different matter altogether. The warmth,
texture and comfort, or in simple words, the ‘feel’ a set of cushions evoke, is
significant, especially during the daytime. Anybody could just lie down for some
time and take a power nap. Therefore, fabric choice matters. A touch of opulence
comes with organic cotton, velvet, or linen. Get a fabric that feels good
against your skin!
- Place the cushions nicely
As discussed
earlier, keeping the cushion count down to 4 or less is ideal for beds. Now,
suppose you have got odd numbers like 3. Form a triangle with one cushion
leading the rest of the two to catch the attention. However, if you are more
into symmetry, arrange all 4 cushions with 2 on each side of the central divide.
The main sleeping pillow could be kept in the centre.
