Scatter cushions are not particularly new to the interior scene, from silky bolster cushions, to plush round cushions, to classic box cushions; these wonderful bursts of colour and texture have been adding luxury to homes for centuries. In fact, the earliest known use of these accessories was in circa 7000 BC in Mesopotamia. Their definition is right in their name; scatter meaning to be dispersed or moved in different directions, these plush styling items can be found all over the home. Often mixed and matched in colours, textures and sizes, scatter cushions are the finishing touch to a beautiful interior.

The question remains, what type of scatter cushion is best suited for you, and how do you begin to take your home from that fresh, summery space to a warm and cosy winter wonderland? The decision rests in your home’s aesthetic and personal style, as well as the needs you have for materials and how you believe your interior should work for you.

When it comes to cushions, it’s important to consider how much space your furniture can offer for you to play with, as well as the type of mood you want to create. This factor plays an important role in the size of your scatter cushions, can your furniture afford to hold up larger accessories, or is your cosy two-seater couch more suited for smaller sizes. Once you’ve decided upon the size, it’s time to consider the style, these small interior touches can truly enhance your home’s style and allow you to entirely curate the ambiance you’re aspiring to create in your home.

If your home has already established a more traditional aesthetic, consider an even number of scatter cushions to enhance the symmetry and style of your home, and create some visual diversity by changing up their sizes or textures. For example, two elegantly placed scatter cushions placed on either side of your sofa can still change up the space while keeping to your traditional, personal style. For these homes, we love the addition of difference through texture, see our hand-crafted Susa Cushion for some inspiration.

If your home lends itself to a more modern or eclectic style, we love the use of odd numbered, differently sized scatter cushions to embody newness and the bold ideas already found in your personal style. In these homes we can really be creative opting for completely different styles that speak to the same colour palette, making use of different texture, pattern and size to create a cosy feast for the eyes. Consider our plush Alpaca Fur or New Zealand Sheepskin to add an exciting, soft texture, all hand-crafted with only the finest materials.

Warm winter styling doesn’t need to stop with scatter cushions, throws are another wonderful addition to any home to add a new level of softness. Similarly to scatter cushions, throws are easy additions that can bring about a new experience and look to your home. They can be neatly folded over the arm of your sofas and chairs to show off their pop of colour or exciting pattern but remain within your home’s subtle and traditional style. Additionally, they can be draped over the end of your bed to create that cosy and welcoming look while showing off their gorgeous texture; for inspiration have a look at our luxurious Chamonix Faux Fur Throw.

Embrace the cosy, winter style by considering your home’s entire ambiance. These new, luxurious additions to your home are wonderful investment pieces, as they can literally be moved, swapped and exchanged from room to room to reinvent spaces and a touch luxury. Invest in your home today with pieces built to last a lifetime and get truly cosy for the winter.

After mastering how you plan on styling your new home accessories, it’s important to consider the quality. Scatter cushions are wonderful luxury pieces to invest in because of their flexibility. Unlike larger interior items, they’re a more affordable way to take your home to the next level without committing too heavily on a set style or aesthetic.
