If you’ve ever looked at a room and felt like it was "missing something," the answer usually isn't a new sofa or a different paint color. Often, it’s much simpler: texture, depth, and comfort. At Online8, we believe cushions are the hardest-working accessories in your home. They are the "jewelry" of the living room—small additions that make a massive impact. Here is how you can use our latest collection to level up your space.
1. Play with Texture: Linen, Velvet, and Beyond
Texture is what makes a room feel "expensive." Instead of matching everything perfectly, try mixing different materials to create visual interest.
-
The Sophisticated Edge: Our Jacquard Cushion Covers offer intricate woven patterns that bring a classic, high-end feel to modern interiors.
-
The Luxe Touch: For a pop of color that feels as good as it looks, the Green Velvet Printed Cushion adds a layer of "weighted" luxury that grounds a room.
-
Natural Breeziness: If you prefer the Coastal or Scandi look, our Snugg+Co Linen Covers (designed right here in NZ) provide that relaxed, breathable aesthetic.
2. Art You Can Sit On
Who says art only belongs on the walls? Our Art Cushion series—featuring designs like the Vogue, London, and Icon—turns your sofa into a gallery.
The Online8 Difference: Many of our art cushions feature unique burlap sides and even include an Artist Bio, giving you a story to tell when guests ask about your decor.
3. Don’t Forget the "Inner" Peace
The secret to the perfect "karate chop" look on a cushion isn't the cover; it’s the filling. While polyester inserts are great for durability, we recommend pairing our covers with 100% Duck Feather Inners for that ultra-plush, sink-in feeling that defines luxury living.
4. Whimsy for Every Room
Cushions aren't just for the formal lounge. Our Sheep Round Cushions are a favorite for nurseries and playrooms, adding a soft, playful touch that keeps the house feeling like a home rather than a showroom.
Quick Styling Tips:
-
The Rule of Three: Group cushions in odd numbers (3 or 5) for a more natural, curated look.
-
Size Matters: Start with larger 55x55cm cushions at the back and layer smaller 45x45cm or rectangular pieces in front.
-
The Seasonal Swap: Switch to heavy velvets and dark tones in the winter, and light linens or bright cottons in the summer to instantly refresh your mood.
