This week we’ve been all about the patterned cushions; gingham cushions, linen cushions and cotton cushions alike. Cushions are not only the foundations of a cosy spot to melt into, but have the potential to pull together your styling in any given room. Whether your patterned cushions hope to bring through an accent colour, add visual interest or bring the country to your cottage, we’re here with all the styling tips. It’s easy to see a product, fall in love with it and buy it without thinking. Once it’s in your home, you may realise you don’t actually know how or where it falls into your home styling. This is where home decor mood boards come in handy. Visualising all the main elements, materials and colours in one place makes putting together the final touches all the easier.
Home Decor Mood Board One: Coastal Inspired Neutrals
Coastal decor draws inspiration from the colours of natural elements, sits beautifully in naturally lit open spaces, and simply aims to exude the tranquillity of the seaside. This home decor mood board was inspired by the Amy Cotton Cream Cushion, with a gorgeous cream colour reminiscent of sandy hues. White washed furniture, like the Lulworth Rustic Wooden Armchair and Stool, naturally fits into this style, particularly with the woven rope detailing. Incorporating a variety of textures through furniture, ornaments and textiles is key to coastal decor. The Ciara White Ceramic Vase has a sandy finish, keeps the room bright and pairs beautifully with lighter faux flowers or greens. Similarly, the Lily Textured White Bedspread has the most perfect, organic colour, with a unique texture. Together in your bedroom, the Lily White Bedspread and Amy Cotton Cream Cushion would make for an undeniably calming coastal bedroom.

Home Decor Mood Board Two: Traditional Farmhouse
Nothing says farmhouse style like traditional textiles, warm colours and reclaimed wood furniture. Gingham cushions are a surefire way to bring the country charm into your spaces, and are easily styled scattered with other neutral cushions. And so, the Maeve Country Gingham Cushion takes centre stage on this home decor mood board. The warm tones beautifully complement natural patina finishes, and together, create the perfect rustic look. Farmhouse decor often blends old and new, to create a cosy characterful space. The main investment in traditional farmhouse style is chunky reclaimed wood furniture, particularly in the dining room. But don’t forget that wooden features aren’t exclusive to furniture, and there are plenty of unique ways to incorporate them. Consider wooden table lamps, like the Bobby Round Wooden Lamp, or rustic wooden home accessories like the Ethel Reclaimed Wooden Candle Holder. Finally, finishing touches like knitted throws, or neutral lamp shades pull all these elements together.

Home Decor Mood Board Three: Playful Patterns & Natural Wood Finishes
There’s a time and place for intentionally clashing patterns, and up against a soft palette and natural wood, they work a treat. Though it may not be your first thought, the Lena Pinstripe Linen Cushion and Lucie Linen Gingham Ruffle Cushion work beautifully together to create a charming space with a touch of whimsy. But, how do you make patterns look good together, instead of overwhelming? The key is to make them the feature in the room and style them in a neutral environment with natural finishes. This means styling with woven baskets, and wooden furniture and home accessories, such as candle lanterns. The combination of patterned cushions and natural materials makes for an inviting, warm space full of youthful character.

Home Decor Mood Board Four: Masculine & Industrial Inspired
For a slightly more modern, striking take on farmhouse style, implement darker accents and bold materials. The Jessica Check Black and Cream Cushion is the focal point to this home decor mood board, and much like all the other products, features subtle black accents. Darker colours can be difficult to navigate and style without overpowering the room. Styling products with black or brown accents alongside natural woods, creams and glass is the best way to create a cohesive look. Wicker baskets can often come across slightly softer and feminine, however the leather buckles on the Edward Wicker Basket End Table add perfect masculine, industrial inspired touch to traditional farmhouse style. Opting for furniture with black elements, such as the Harrison Wooden Console Tables, are much less overpowering than entirely black furniture. Consider styling black lanterns, reed diffusers or table lamps to pull together the final touches.
