A plain sofa is not a bad sofa. It just needs something on it. The problem is that most cushion collections either look like they belong in a show home with no actual inhabitants, or they arrive and do nothing at all for the room. We’ve been looking specifically at cushions that earn their spot, ones with enough colour, texture, or pattern to shift the whole feel of a sofa without requiring you to restyle the room around them.

What we’ve pulled together here is storage focused in the sense that we’ve been very deliberate about it. Each cushion does a job. Some add warmth to a grey or neutral sofa. Some bring in a material contrast that makes the whole thing feel more considered. Some simply have the right scale so the sofa stops looking underdressed.

We’ve also thought about washability and how they hold their shape after a season of actual use. These are not decorative in a fragile way. They are the cushions a sofa actually needs.
