Winter is all about getting cosy and spending those long, dark evenings curled up on the sofa beside the fire. It\u2019s the perfect time of year to turn your attention inwards and make your living space feel warm and welcoming, away from the cold outside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Made to measure cushions<\/span><\/a> are one of the simplest and most satisfying additions you can make to your home in winter, bringing instant warmth, comfort, and personality to spaces that are used more than ever at this time of year. Carefully chosen cushions help to soften your sofas and armchairs, add layers of texture and colour, and make your room feel more inviting as the temperature drops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 5 easy ways to style your made to measure cushions for a cosier, more inviting home.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Mix and match patterns for a relaxed look<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Pink<\/p>\n

Winter is the perfect time to play with pattern. Rather than matching everything precisely, try layering a combination of patterned cushions that feel as though they\u2019ve been lovingly gathered over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The key here is to keep your colour palette tight. Choose up to three colours and repeat them across different patterns to make your interior scheme feel harmonious rather than busy. For example, we love mixing just one or two coloured florals with stripes and gentle geometrics, as this allows each design to sing while still looking like they belong together.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Layer different textures to add winter warmth<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Texture is just as important as colour and pattern during the colder months. Wool, embroidery, and woven fabrics add instant depth and softness to your living space, making it feel much warmer and more inviting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/span>wool made to measure cushions<\/span><\/a> in Sky and Sea make for the cosiest additions to your home in wintertime. You could layer these with our woven striped fabrics such as <\/span>Lapland Stripe<\/span><\/a>, or introduce a touch of embroidery with our <\/span>Malmo<\/span><\/a> design. The beauty of this combination is that nothing feels accidental, yet nothing is too polished.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Combine colours for a calm and cohesive scheme<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Colour plays a powerful role in creating a sense of calm and comfort during winter. Our beautifully bespoke colourways have been carefully designed to work together, allow you to mix and match with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n
