How to Arrange Cushions on a Double Bed

Arranging cushions on a double bed is an art that combines style, comfort, and functionality. The right cushion arrangement can elevate your bedroom’s overall look, adding dimension, depth, and a cosy vibe. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the choices, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to arrange cushions on a double bed, along with some tips from our in-house stylists who have created cohesive cushion combinations for you to choose from.

Why Cushion Arrangement Matters

Cushions aren’t just for comfort; they’re a key element of your bedroom’s design. The right mix of sizes, textures, and colours can:

• Add a touch of luxury.
• Tie your room’s colour scheme together.
• Create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere.
• Showcase your personal style.

Pre-Made Cushion Sets: Stress-Free Styling

To make styling your double bed easier, our in-house stylists have curated 5 cushion combinations. These cushion sets include 5 cushions that have been hand selected to provide a cohesive finish. These cushion sets are designed to deliver a polished look, so you don’t have to worry about matching sizes, colours, or textures. Each set includes:

• 2 x 53x53cm cushions
• 2 x 45x45cm cushions
• 1 x 50x30cm or 1 x 80x30cm cushion (to act as the perfect finishing touch)

These cushion combinations have been designed with double beds in mind and provide the perfect balance of comfort and style ( they can also be used on sofas to provide the perfect living room cushion styling).

The Luxurious Formula for Double Beds

For a truly luxurious look, we recommend the following cushion arrangement formula for double beds:

1. Two 65x65cm cushions placed along the back as a supportive base.
2. Two 45x45cm cushions layered in front to add texture and dimension.
3. One 50x30cm cushion to finish off the look and provide a focal point.

This arrangement creates a full, balanced, and inviting look that works beautifully with a variety of bed sizes, but it’s particularly effective on a double bed where space is slightly limited compared to larger beds.

Choosing the Right Cushions

When selecting cushions for your double bed, consider these key elements:

1. Bed Head Colour and Texture
   • If your bed head is upholstered in a neutral tone, you can play with bold or patterned cushions to create contrast.
   • For bold or textured bed heads, stick to more subdued cushion colours to keep the look balanced.
2. Bedding
   • Coordinate your cushion colours with your bedding to ensure a harmonious look. For example, if your duvet cover is a solid colour, opt for patterned or textured cushions to add interest.
   • If your bedding is patterned, choose cushions in solid colours that complement the tones in your bedding.
3. Mixing and Matching Textures
   • Combine different fabrics, such as velvet, linen, and cotton, to add dimension to your cushion arrangement.
   • Textures like knits, boucles, or embroidered details can provide visual interest and a cosy feel.

Step-by-Step Cushion Arrangement

Here’s how to arrange your cushions for maximum impact:

1. Start with the Largest Cushions Place your two 53x53cm cushions against the headboard. These will act as the base layer and provide a solid foundation for the rest of your arrangement.
2. Layer the Medium-Sized Cushions Add the two 45x45cm cushions in front of the larger ones. Centre them slightly to create a balanced look. These cushions will add a pop of colour, texture, or pattern to the arrangement.
3. Finish with a Statement Cushion Place your chosen 50x30cm or 80x30cm cushion in the centre This final piece will act as the anchor, tying the entire look together. You can choose a bold pattern or a unique texture to make it stand out.

Tips for a Perfect Finish

• Play with Odd Numbers: Odd numbers of cushions (like five) tend to look more dynamic and visually appealing.
• Adjust for Comfort: Make sure the arrangement is practical and doesn’t overwhelm the bed. You should still have space to sit or lie down comfortably.
• Refresh Seasonally: Swap out cushion covers with the seasons to keep your bedroom looking fresh and current. For example, lighter fabrics like linen are perfect for summer, while velvets and knits work well for winter.
