Cushion covers offer an easy way to refresh a sofa or bed without replacing the furniture. Look beyond the motif: check the insert size, fabric feel and how the colours relate to the main tones already present in the room.
Choose a cover that matches the measured insert dimensions. If you prefer a fuller look, consider the firmness of the insert rather than forcing an oversized filling through the zip. Large motifs work comfortably on broad sofas, while smaller repeating patterns suit compact seating.
Neutral sofas accept a wide range of accent colours. With a coloured sofa, repeat a quieter shade from the upholstery or choose a complementary neutral. When mixing prints, establish one shared colour and combine a large motif, a smaller motif and a plain surface.
Read our cushion styling guide and the cushion size guide for practical examples.
Measure the existing insert from seam to seam and choose the same listed cover size, unless the product page recommends otherwise.
Contents vary by product. Most cover-only items do not include an insert, so check the product description before ordering.
Yes. A shared colour and a mix of large, small and plain surfaces creates a more balanced arrangement.
