Seasonal Cushion Styling: Transform your home this Autumn with our top tips. Embracing the changing seasons doesn’t have to mean a complete home overhaul. In fact, one of the most cost-effective and impactful ways to refresh your interior is through soft furnishings, with cushions being the perfect place to start.
At Ellenvale Interiors, we believe in creating homes that evolve with the seasons, and our collection of over 400 cushion styles in five different sizes means there’s truly something for everyone. From rich linens to cosy wools, and timeless neutrals to bold, seasonal hues, cushions allow you to completely shift the feel of a room-without replacing any furniture.
Why Cushions Are the Secret to Seasonal Styling
Cushions are small ( unless you’re buying our 65×65’s) but mighty. They can introduce colour, texture, warmth, and personality to your space with minimal effort. Unlike investing in large furniture pieces-which can be expensive and difficult to change-cushions offer a flexible, low-commitment way to embrace seasonal trends and refresh your décor throughout the year.
In autumn, this becomes particularly important. As we spend more time indoors, we naturally seek comfort and warmth. Swapping out light summer textiles for plush, tactile cushions in deeper, moodier shades instantly creates a sense of cosiness and seasonal atmosphere. You can still stick to our Best Selling Linen Cushion range but perhaps swap light blues/sages for deeper plums, dark brown, rusts or olives.
Autumn’s Colour Palette: Deep Reds, Earthy Olives & Warm Terracottas
This autumn, the interior world is leaning into nature-inspired hues that bring a sense of calm. Think deep, rich reds, earthy olive greens, and warm terracottas-tones that reflect the falling leaves, rustic landscapes, and soft sunsets of the season.
These colours pair beautifully with natural materials like wool, linen, and cotton, offering a blend of style and comfort that’s perfect for the cooler months.
One of our standout combinations this season is the Hallie Terracotta Cushion paired with the Ivy Rust Cushion. The Hallie offers a stunning earthy warmth that feels timeless and modern all at once, while the Ivy Rust adds dimension with its rich, burnt tones. Together, they create a beautifully layered, autumn-ready look that can transform any sofa, armchair, or bed.
Expertly Curated Cushion Sets for Effortless Styling
Not sure how to pair colours and textures? We’ve taken the guesswork out of styling with our expertly curated cushion sets, designed by our in-house stylists. These sets are carefully balanced for colour, size, and material to create a cohesive finish.
Whether you’re aiming for a minimalist neutral look or something more bold and seasonal, our sets help you create harmony across your soft furnishings with ease. And with five sizes to choose from, you can mix and match to suit your furniture and space-try combining a large 65x65cm cushion with smaller 45x45cm accents for depth and interest.
Texture is Key: Linen, Wool, and Beyond
Autumn is all about texture. As temperatures drop, we naturally crave tactile materials that feel soft and inviting. That’s why our autumn collection features a wide range of textured cushions, including linen, wool, and velvet options.
- Linen cushions offer a natural, relaxed look that works beautifully in both modern and traditional homes.
- Wool cushions bring a touch of rustic charm and extra warmth-perfect for curling up with on chilly evenings. Effortlessly adding a hint of country cottage charm.
- Velvet or boucle accents add a touch of luxury and depth for those looking to elevate their space further.
Combining different textures in complementary tones is one of the easiest ways to create a dynamic, layered look that feels rich and intentional.
Where to Style Your Cushions This Season
Cushions aren’t just for sofas-here are a few ways to refresh multiple spaces in your home this autumn:
- Living Room: Switch out summer brights for rusts, olives, and deep reds. Mix textures for a welcoming, layered effect.
- Bedroom: Add warmth with larger cushions at the head of the bed, or introduce seasonal tones with a simple set of two in front of your pillows.
- Hallway Benches or Window Seats: Style with a smaller cushion set for an instant seasonal update in underused spaces.
Small Change, Big Impact
We know how tempting it can be to want to completely redecorate when a new season arrives, but with cushions, you don’t have to. Soft furnishings are a powerful, cost-effective way to refresh your home without the expense of new furniture or a full room makeover.
