Adding Cushions

Many of us think of 'interior design' as something for the rich and famous. Well this is very untrue today, interior design is all about creating a space, a home (most of all) full of the things that reflect you and your family. 


While many of us love the way our friends have decorated their homes, we all know that nothing really feels like home, except... well, your home! That's because your home is apart of you, it's a place of remembering those silly family moments in the kitchen or a family heirloom that sparks memories of previous generations. 

No matter what makes your house a home, you can be assured that you don't need to empty your wallet doing it. I constantly tell my clients to re vamp their cushions for a quick, room 'pick me up'. Cushions can be as inexpensive or expensive as you like, but no matter the cost they can completely transform that old leather lounge or add that much needed punch of colour. 

I totally love the punch of colour the cushions give the room in the first image! That many cushions in that many colours is only for the brave. I dare you...

Be inspired! Walk into your room with fresh eyes, do you have some hidden colour in artwork? Are you inspired by a Jacaranda tree that you can see through your windows?Pick out a few colours, and draw from them by adding same coloured cushions. You can see how this has been done with the artwork in the second image.


Enjoy
