Styling with Patterned Cushions
Cushions are an effortless way to introduce personality, warmth and depth to a space. By combining considered patterns with contrasting textures, you can create a layered look that feels inviting, balanced and beautifully curated. Our new Ottavio and Castel cushions demonstrate how thoughtful design and tactile materials can work together to bring added character to your home.

Ottavio | Organic Striped Cushion
Patterned cushions bring energy and movement to a space, drawing the eye and adding visual interest.
The Ottavio cushion is a standout piece, featuring a refined symmetrical stripe design with a richly textured woven finish. Its understated pattern and tactile appeal make it an effortless addition to a layered sofa setting, pairing beautifully with both plain and patterned cushions across modern and classic interiors.
This season we introduce three new colours to the Ottavio range, Lagoon, Mulberry and Willow. Muted, yet sophisticated colours that expands Ottavio’s versatility and making it even easier to complement a variety of textures and tones.
Available as a cover only or with the option to add one of our cushion inners – WeaveFill, Feather or NZ wool.
Castel | Multi-tonal Cushion
Texture brings depth and dimension to an interior, adding warmth and a sense of comfort to a space.
Rich texture, meets understated versatility in the Castel cushion. Its beautifully tonal, multi-dimensional design adds subtle movement and visual interest, while the chunky space-dyed yarn brings a soft, tactile quality to the design.
Perfect for creating a considered, layered look, Castel pairs effortlessly with patterned cushions and contrasting textures, adding depth and warmth without overwhelming the arrangement. Its relaxed character makes it a versatile addition to a wide range of interiors.
Balancing Pattern
A well-styled space often relies on balance between bold patterns and understated solids. Pairing a patterned cushion with a plain design creates contrast while allowing the overall arrangement to feel cohesive. Structured checks and stripes can be softened with simple, solid-coloured cushions, creating a look that feels considered yet effortless

A Tonal Approach to Pattern
Pattern doesn’t always need to mean contrast. For a more refined and harmonious approach, try layering different patterns, textures and scales within the same tonal colour palette. Variations of a single colour create cohesion, while subtle differences in pattern and texture add depth and interest. A striped cushion paired with a more intricate pattern and a tonal rug, for example, can create a beautifully considered look without feeling overwhelming.

How to Style Pattern and Texture Together
-
Start with a Neutral Base – If your sofa or bedding is a solid colour, introduce pattern and texture through cushions to add dimension without overwhelming the space.
-
Mix and Match – Pair the structured stripes of Ottavio with the chunky, tactile texture of Castel to create a harmonious balance of pattern and softness.
-
Play with Proportions – Use different cushion sizes and shapes to create an inviting arrangement. Combining square and lumbar cushions adds variety while enhancing comfort.
- Consider Your Surroundings – Take cues from existing elements such as rugs, throws, curtains and furniture to create a cohesive and considered look.
