Decorative Cushions
Start with the cushion. It is the smallest decision in a room and the one the eye keeps returning to, which is why it is worth getting right. Ours are drawn in cloth chosen for how it ages rather than how it photographs: velvet with real depth of pile, linen with weight in the hand, weaves that catch the light and keep it. Luxury cushion covers meant to anchor a sofa or dress a bed, never to shout over the room around them.
Cloth comes before colour, because cloth sets the mood. The velvet covers warm a room in the evening, for their even, light-drinking pile. The linen covers are the opposite instinct, dry and tailored, softening with use rather than wearing thin. Cotton sits easily between the two, the cloth a room reaches for most days.
Surface is where the hand notices what the eye missed. The embroidered covers hold relief and shadow, the motif worked into the weave rather than printed on top; the textured pieces, bouclé, tufted, tasselled, keep their interest under the fingers. A disciplined room wants the solid covers, which hold a single tone without going flat, while the printed covers bring pattern at a scale a room can live with.
Colour settles the scheme. The black cushion covers are the sharpest tool in the set, grounding, as easy against pale walls as dark wood. The beige and oatmeal range is the quiet base note most rooms are built on. Grey moves between the two, cool and architectural; blue runs from deep ink to a faded, almost-grey indigo.
Scale is where most rooms go wrong. On a three-seater a 55 cm square reads as deliberate where a smaller cover is swallowed; a 45 cm square layers in front; a lumbar, longer than it is tall, breaks a row of squares or rests low against the back; and a larger square anchors the centre of a dressed bed. Worked in odd numbers, mixed across two or three cloths, they read composed rather than placed.
Buy the insert separately, and to match. Every cover has its insert in the same size, so the cover is right for cloth and colour and the fill is right for weight and plumpness.
From a single cushion to a full arrangement of designer cushion covers across a sofa or bed, the collection is made to be combined. Across India.
Cushion cover questions
What size cushion covers suit a sofa?
On a standard three-seater, begin with a 55 cm square, which reads as intentional where a smaller cover looks lost, layer a 45 cm in front, and set a lumbar low to break the line. Fewer and larger looks more composed than many small covers, and odd numbers sit better than even.
What cushion cover sizes do you offer?
Square sizes run from 40 × 40 cm to a 66 × 66 cm Euro square, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 66, with lumbar and rectangular sizes from 23 × 30 cm to a long 35 × 90 cm, including the classic 35 × 60 cm lumbar. Every size has its matching insert, and all measurements are in centimetres, as is standard across India. The cushion size guide covers choosing for a sofa, bed or chair.
Should the insert be ordered too?
Yes, and to match. Covers and inserts are specified separately, and each cover has an insert in the same size, a 45 cm insert for a 45 cm cover, which is the difference between a cushion that looks dressed and one that looks deflated.
Velvet, linen or cotton?
It comes down to the light. Velvet for depth and warmth in cooler rooms and evening light; linen for a dry, tailored calm that reads well through the day; cotton for the easy everyday in between. Most rooms settle on a mix rather than one cloth alone.
How should cushion covers be cared for?
Dry clean only, every one. It keeps the colour true and the pile and weave sitting as they should for years rather than seasons.
Can I exchange a cushion cover?
Yes. We run an exchange policy rather than refunds, so a cover can be exchanged for another. The exchange policy has the details.
Are cushion covers the same as pillow covers?
The same thing, a slip that dresses a cushion or decorative pillow. We say cushion, the term most of India shops by; elsewhere the same pieces are called pillow covers or throw pillows.
