Anji’s Picks: Cushions & Throws
Whether you’re an avid design lover or simply appreciative of a well considered interior space, I think we can all agree that a great couch is not complete without some equally beautiful soft furnishings!
We’ve owned several couches over the years and we often lean towards more neutral shades, in recent years we’ve opted for darker colours as they’re just more practical in a family home. The beauty of a neutral or simplistic couch is that all the fun, texture and colour can come from much more affordable and easily interchangeable soft furnishings.
Curating a collection of cushions and throws for a couch can be one of the easiest ways to elevate your living space and tie in colours from a palette that is uniquely yours. I’ve always found this area of interior design particularly fun as it’s lower stakes and easier on the wallet than many other design changes around the home and the combinations you can create are infinite!
So, today I wanted to share some of my favourite Aotearoa based stores that create beautiful, unique and timeless soft furnishings. There are so many fantastic options out there, but these are just a few of my favourites to hopefully inspire your next purchase…
