Cushions
Cushions
Cushions are the easiest way to transform a room, small in size but big on impact. Decorating with cushions in the right mix of colours, patterns and textures pulls a space together, whether you're dressing up a sofa, a stack of throw pillows, or a single accent piece. Here's what to think about before you add to cart.

The fabric sets the whole feel of a cushion, from soft and textural to sleek and hard-wearing, so it's worth matching to the look you're after:
- Bouclé: Looped and tactile, adding warmth and depth to a crisp, simple sofa.
- Tweed: A woven finish with a bit of texture and character.
- Velvet: A soft, luxe accent that catches the light.
- Leather: Sleek and hard-wearing, for a cushion that takes daily use.
- Performance fabric: Spill-resistant and easy to wipe down, made for busy, lived-in homes.
Our styling tips for cushions in the living room and bedroom
The same cushion does a different job depending on the room, so it helps to think about where it's going:
- In the living room: Decorative cushions bring cosy comfort to sofas and accent chairs, the soft landing for catching up with friends, a lazy Sunday with a book, or an afternoon on the floor with the little ones.
- In the bedroom: The same cushions pull a different shift, layered against the headboard for that made-up-bed look, or propped behind you for a comfortable read before lights out.
FAQ
The 2-2-1 pillow rule is your shortcut to decorating with throw pillows like a pro. Layer two large throw pillows on the ends, tuck in two smaller coordinating pillows, and top it off with a single accent or lumbar throw pillow in the centre. This simple trick uses size, symmetry, and texture to add colour, depth, and personality, without feeling cluttered.
Not exactly. Cushions are primarily for comfort and decoration, whether they support you on a sofa, add shape to an armchair, or style a bed. Pillows are designed for sleeping, providing proper neck support and keeping your spine aligned for a restful night.
You'll know it's time to replace your cushions when they no longer spring back, feel uneven or hard, show signs of wear like rips, fraying, or stubborn stains, or develop unpleasant odours. A simple test is to swap a frequently used cushion with a less-used one. If the well-used cushion feels noticeably worse, it's time for a refresh.
For a two-seater sofa, three to four cushions strike the right balance without crowding the seat. A three-seater comfortably takes four to five, mixing sizes and shapes so it doesn't look uniform. For an L-shaped sofa, six to seven cushions across both sections works well for an HDB or condo living room, especially when you mix in a large pillow as an anchor piece. Fewer than this can look sparse, and more, you lose seating space.
- Shapes and sizes in centimetres: Classic square shapes you can rely on, or lumbar shapes for a profile with more personality. Choose from 30 x 50 cm lumbar cushions or 50 x 50 cm square cushions, and mix both for a considered, layered look.
- Cover only or cover with insert: Already have an insert at home, or want to swap covers by season? Go cover-only. Starting from scratch? Cover with insert takes the guesswork out and gives you a guaranteed fit from day one.
Not every decorative cushion or pillow is built to survive daily use. Ours are. They're there for your movie nights and dinner parties. They hold up as you lean on them while you read in bed.
- Machine-washable covers: Spills and everyday mess come off in one wash cycle, no dry cleaning required.
- Spill-resistant performance fabric: Built to handle real life on a sofa, armchair, or bed, without babying the fabric.
- Concealed zips: A clean finish from every angle, with the zip tucked out of sight.
- Built for every seat: Whether you want a large cushion for an oversized sofa or a smaller pillow for an armchair, there's a size and fit to match.
- The best cushion for Singapore homes: Fabrics and finishes chosen with a tropical climate in mind, so your cushions still look sharp months after the first wash.
