Rich Red Velvet Cushion Covers

Can you beat sumptuous red velvet cushion covers for luxury? Red crushed velvet is a classic Christmas home look you can introduce easily. And if you style it right, it can look amazing throughout the entire winter season.

Add velvet cushion covers to brighten up the sofa, or match them up with taupe and champagne shades. Can full-on Christmas colours look elegant? It’s absolutely possible, so combine your new cushions and best styling skills to prove it.

Floral Velvet Cushions for Ultimate Decadence

Dark floral velvet cushion covers are the finishing touch your most decadent interior décor needs for 2023. Obtain stunning embroidered versions if you can, or seek out luxury look velvet cushions on a budget. There are plenty of options, all with more than a hint of gothic beauty.

Use a printed floral cushion cover to anchor a lighter scheme, or as the finishing touch against fantastically dark jewel or forest tones.

Dark and Dramatic Luxury Velvet Cushion Covers

Luscious velvet cushions, deep colours… this is your chance to let your dramatic side out to play. Other colours are available, but aubergine and royal purple have risen as popular home trends for autumn and winter. Use them to prevent 2023’s interior trend of mauve from becoming sugary-sweet or washed out. Or make a bolder impression by layering up dark velvet cushions as part of an inky and opulent colour scheme.

Bring sombre and vibrant colours together to make the most of this year’s bold and beautiful home trends. Or punctuate a dark colour scheme with an embroidered or printed metallic design for extra luxury.

Geometric print velvet cushions have been popular for several seasons, so there are plenty of variations on offer. Try combining a printed metallic velvet cushion with single colour covers from the same palette.

Ochre and Mustard Velvet Cushions for Country House Chic

The best country house-inspired velvet cushion covers draw on that meeting place of natural surroundings, worn-in favourites, and just a hint of luxury. Look out for cushion covers in classic UK countryside tones like forest green, soft browns, ochre and mustard.

Keep it simple, or play up the decorative side by choosing an embroidered design with a nature-inspired motif. Look for velvet cushions embroidered with insects, plants or British birds to punctuate the country house décor trend.

Want more than one embroidered velvet cushion? Try choosing different motifs on velvet cushions in similar colours for a carefully curated look.

Textured Velvet Cushions For a Chunkier Twist

Look for textured velvet cushion covers for a softer, squishier take on the trend. Geometric designs and patterns inspired by cable knit let you add pattern through a single colour. These textured cushion covers are a great way to add velvet to low-key décor.

Shop around for luxury textures, chenille, wool-like finishes to suit your style. Textured velvet cushions are often available in white, cream and pale tones so you can add pattern without sacrificing a neutral colour scheme.

Christmas Cushion Covers with a Difference

Can you find Christmas cushion covers without sacrificing luxe style? Choose carefully and it’s entirely possible, with just the right embroidered cushion in velvet. Look for muted burgundy reds and forest greens, or embroidered stag cushion covers for Christmas style that stays firmly within the realms of desirable décor.

Once again, good selection is the key to the look. How far do you want to fall into the festive spirit? Compare several motifs and cushion cover styles to find the perfect balance of winter, Christmas and your personal style.

Silver Scatter Cushions for Metallic Luxe

Silver cushions are the perfect way to add a full-on luxurious detail to your living room or bedroom, but pay attention to shades and details. Crushed velvet cushion covers in light and bright silver add an instant flash of glossy glamour, but seek out darker greys or alternative finishes to tailor the look.

Darker charcoal grey and silver velvet cushions in softer finished can be layered up to ground crushed velvet and light, bright silvers. Every detail counts if you want to mix and match, but the finished effects can be worth the effort.
