Life without cushions and pillows

Life would be hard without cushions and pillows….literally. Its the easiest way of redecorating without burning a hole in your pocket. You can totally refresh a space and give it a completely new look without getting in the interior guys or the painters. Even a seasonal update for festivals or feasts just requires you to get new covers for your cushions and voila you have a new look. At Skyy, we make it even easier for you by giving you a wide choice of curated designer cushions online so you can shop for them from the comfort of your homes. Their varied colours, textures and patterns really jazz things up and can make your sofa/chair a conversation starter. They add the luxe factor to your furniture.

Here are a few tips on how you can spruce up your home with cushions. So find your inspiration and curate your own happy space  with our beautiful handcrafted cushion covers

Tip#1

The colour of your sofa can throw things awry. Let’s see what we can do about that. Do you have a grey sofa at home? Our recommendation would be to go for vibrant and bright colours. A little fun and adventure via your cushions since your upholstery colour is simple and elegant. At Skyy, we have a lot of statement cushions that can really make a big difference to the wow factor.

For a beige/cream sofa, boosting the neural shades with eye-popping colours to really add to the character of your room.

Don’t worry if you have a navy blue/black sofa? We have some excellent suggestions for that too. Use of White/Cream/Gold accents against these colours will contribute to a tranquil, relaxed and cosy look.

Tip#2

Whether you are using cushions on your bed, sofa, wing chairs or a window seat, select a colour palette and stick to it. Combine – one simple print, one busy print, and one solid cushion cover.

Tip#3

I understand that decorative pillows/cushions are really meant to add to the look and comfort to your upholstered furniture. But we’ve all sat down on that couch that is so packed with different pillows of shapes and sizes and designs that your seat area is greatly reduced. You will end up sitting on the edge of the sofa. Your home is ‘your happy and comfortable place’. The people who visit you should feel the vibe yet be mindful of how many to load onto a couch.

Tip#4

If your room already has a lot of patterns, like a patterned sofa, vivid curtains, or a rug which really stands out, take your cushions down a notch. Our solid velvet cushions, available in four colours are a perfect unpatterned example with gorgeous colours and soft textures that can complete your look in an already busy room. A metallic plain pillow will also add a luxe factor to take up your furnishing game a  notch or two.

So now that you’re equipped with the knowledge, become your own designer and let your home reflect your mood and passion. Don’t forget to tag @Skyyliving on Facebook and Instagram when your guests love the look you’ve put together. Happy decorating!
