Right now your cushionless furniture is just a Harry on its own.
Don’t let your cushionless sofa be a lonesome Harry.
The Chesterfield Sofa
Sure, the Chesterfield is iconic.
You love yours and rightly so, they’re great.
But.
Just because it was commissioned by the Earl of Chesterfield in the mid-18th Century doesn’t mean that every image of a Chesterfield needs to include a Union Jack cushion on it.
Plain cushions work well.
Balance against the pattern of the of the tufted buttons.
By now you’ll be aware, Chesterfields are typically made firm. You’ll want to make sure your cushions reflect this.
Plump and fluffy.
The color depends upon the sofa you’ve chosen and the rest of the room.
Chances are you’ve gone for brown though.
Dark brown works with cream or off-white cushions.
Lighter brown works well with gold cushions. A word of caution though, be careful with this one. The aesthetic can quickly deteriorate into tackiness if it’s not done correctly.
Your Various Armchairs
There’s limited real estate on an armchair.
Cushions are notoriously territorial.
Fiercely roaming their 3/4 square meter in search of a mate.
Without question, you will be kicked off the seat at a moment’s notice. When you glance back you will be met only by snarling teeth.
What we’re getting at here is that you don’t want to buy a cushion that’s too big for your armchair or it’s going to be a waste of money.
The best way to judge a cushion is to look at the chair.
Determine the ratio of style to function and pick your cushion accordingly.
Accordingly, in this sense, means choosing the opposite to the chair.
If your reading chair is beautiful, but lacks support, buy a cushion or pillow for the lumbar support. If the chair is great to sit in, but drab, buy a cushion to sow your seed of personality.
