Cushions and throws

A cushion brings together two pieces, the cover and the insert that fills it, and the throw adds the final layer to the sofa. The collection gathers plain, textured or patterned covers, the inserts that go inside them and living room throws.

The cover, then the insert

Covers make up most of this collection, as their names state before anything else. The insert is bought separately, in the size of the chosen cover: the look changes without the inside of the cushion moving. A slightly larger insert gives a plump cushion rather than a limp one.

Mixing sizes and patterns

Your sofa happily takes cushions in different sizes: the large square at the back, a smaller size in front of it. Alternate a plain cover with a patterned one, keeping a shared color or material so the whole looks cohesive. Seasonal patterns are put away when the season ends, and the cover alone is enough to change the mood.

The throw, the evening layer

A throw serves as much to keep you warm as to break up a large expanse of plain fabric. Drape it diagonally over an armrest rather than folding it into a square, for a livelier look. A shade close to that of the sofa calms the room, a bold shade gives it structure.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a decorative cushion and a cushion insert?

The decorative cushion is used as is, filling included. The cushion insert is the bare filling: it awaits the cover that will provide the decor.

Which cushion size should I choose?

The large square remains the most versatile on a deep seat, while a smaller size better supports the lower back on a shallow seat. When in doubt, go for the larger one: a small cushion gets lost at the back of a sofa.

How do I care for a throw?

Shake it out and air it flat rather than washing it often. On a fresh stain, dab with a barely damp white cloth, then let it dry away from a radiator.
