Styling tips for cushions

We think you can never have too many cushions! Here are a few of our tips for styling cushions on your bed or sofa.
• Swap cushion covers several times a year to celebrate the change of season – warm hues for autumn, plush velvets for winter, fresh botanicals for spring, stripes and coastal motifs for summer.
• Choose cushion covers made from quality, natural fabrics such as cotton, linen and velvet.
• For a cohesive, layered look mix cushion covers in patterns with plains in similar tones.
• For a calm look, choose cushion covers in neutral hues and lighter tones.
• For a bold look, choose cushion covers in brighter colours, highly patterned designs and wide stripes.
• For an eclectic look, choose cushion covers in contrasting colours, bold patterns and designs.
• Mix cushion shapes for a layered look styling square and rectangle cushions together.

Styling tips for throws

Throws are such versatile layering pieces to have in your home. Throws are perfect for pulling up to have an afternoon snooze under, staying cosy while watching a movie and adding layers of softness and style to your bed or sofa. Here are our styling tips for throws.
• Choose throws made from natural fabrics such as knitted cotton or woven pure linen.
• Layer a throw on every bed in a colour that coordinates with the bedding, as a beautiful finishing and textural touch.
• Style a throw on your sofa in a complementary tone, either folded neatly over the arm or draped casually across the back of the sofa, perfect for adding colour and texture.
• Keep a basket of rolled up throws in your living room ready for movie nights or on hand for when dining al fresco.

Styling tips for home fragrance

To evoke a beautiful sensory experience in your home, layer and style fragrance throughout your spaces including the kitchen, bathroom, living and bedrooms. Use one scent for a consistent aroma or a choose a mix of fragrance for a blended aromatic experience as you move through your home. For scent styling, choose different ways to ‘deliver’ the fragrance for each room. For example, choose from classic candles and tea lights for the living and dining room to diffusers, scented ceramic stones and ‘mess free’ aroma sticks in bedrooms and the bathroom.
