What colour cushions are best for my sofa?
To start with there are so many different styles of living spaces and if you are clever you can match any colours together.
However, what we have found works really well when matching colourful cushions to sofas is firstly find a cushion that is similar to your sofa, this can be a similar colour or pattern so for example if you have a black sofa, a grey cushion would be fine. This is your base cushion and sits on your sofa first and almost acts as a mediator between your second cushion and your sofa. The second cushion can then be a colour you’re looking to incorporate in your space.
Usually different in colour or pattern to your sofa. For example if you have a dark blue sofa, a dark green cushion followed by a lime cushion could do the trick.
How large are sofa cushions?
Sofa cushions can be any size you like. If you’re looking to add some texture and depth because your sofa is fairly shallow, then a larger base cushion than your colourful cushion can work. Otherwise, if you are prone to swapping and changing things around then opting for similar-sized cushions allows you to swap which cushion sits at the front.
How are cushions dyed?
Depending on how the cushion is made and where it comes from. Many are dyed using synthetic dyes while others are dyed using natural ingredients. Woven Rosa Pacha cushions are naturally dyed using plants and flowers that are sourced from the Andean mountains.

How to match cushions and throws?
Cushions and throws go hand in hand. Many people like to match their cushions to their throw, while others opt for a complete mix-match.
Depending on your style and your outlook on matching items, we think that somewhere in the middle is best. Both serving two purposes of comfort and style it’s important to get them right. Try loosely matching your cushions with your throw, whether it’s similar colours, patterns or materials.
What Colour Cushion Should I Use?
This completely depends on where the cushion will be used and the colours that you already have. I would recommend that you opt for more bold colours in cushions which can be an opportunity for you to add a splash of colour to your living space.
