Textiles

Textiles help you quickly add more warmth, comfort, and cohesion to your interior. Think of cushions on the sofa, a throw over an armchair, or a rug that connects a seating area. With the right colors, materials, and sizes, you can make a room feel personal and practical to use.

Textiles for a warm and well-kept interior

Textiles make a home feel softer and more inviting. They soften hard lines, bring color into the room, and create more comfort in your living room or bedroom. In this collection, you’ll find, among other things, cushions, throws, and rugs that you can easily combine with one another. That way, you can change the look of a room without major changes.

If you like working with layers, you can combine different fabrics and textures. For example, choose a chunky woven throw with smooth cushion covers, or place a rug under the seating area for more unity. Also browse our rugs if you want to bring extra warmth and definition into the room.

How do you choose the right textiles?

1. Choose by room

For the living room, cushions, throws, and a rug are often the best foundation. In the bedroom, a throw at the foot of the bed and a few decorative cushions create a polished look. In a reading nook, an extra blanket works well for comfort and ease of use.

2. Pay attention to size and proportions

On a spacious sofa, several cushions in different sizes look better than one small one. A throw can drape casually, but choose a size that suits the sofa or chair. For a rug, it’s beautiful if it’s large enough to connect the seating area without covering the entire floor.

3. Think about material and use

If you mainly use a throw for snuggling under, choose a fabric that feels pleasant and is easy to grab. Decorative cushions can have a bit more texture or a more striking detail. In a busy household, maintenance also matters. Choose materials that match how intensively you use them.

4. Combine color in a simple way

A good foundation often starts with two or three main colors. Then work with nuance instead of lots of contrast. For example, combine sand, grey, and cream with an accent in blue, green, or rust. That keeps the whole look balanced and makes it easy to switch things up later.

Practical styling tips for cushions, throws, and rugs

Start with one base piece, such as a throw or rug, and build around it. Repeat a color from the rug in a cushion, or choose contrast in texture instead. Don’t place a throw too neatly, but drape it loosely over the armrest or seat. That looks more welcoming and encourages you to actually use it.

If you want variation without changing much, switch textiles with the seasons. In spring, light shades and airy fabrics work beautifully, while in the colder months you can choose richer materials and deeper colors.

Frequently asked questions about textiles

What size cushions fit my sofa?

That depends on the size of your sofa. On a compact sofa, two to three medium-sized cushions often work well. On a larger corner sofa, you can combine several sizes for more depth. Pay particular attention to the proportions so the sofa doesn’t look too full.

How do I combine different types of textiles without making it look busy?

Choose a fixed base of two or three colors and then vary the textures. For example, combine a smooth cushion, a chunky woven throw, and a calm rug. If the colors stay close together, the result will feel cohesive.

What should I look for when choosing a throw?

Look at the use, the size, and the material. For everyday use, comfort is important. If you mainly want to use a throw decoratively, the texture can be a bit more eye-catching. Also check whether the size suits your sofa, chair, or bed.

When should I choose a rug or floor rug?

A rug is handy when you want to give a corner of your home more warmth or definition. In the living room, a floor rug connects the furniture. In the bedroom, a rug beside or under the bed feels nicer under your feet.

How do I keep textiles at home looking neat?

Fluff cushions and throws regularly and always follow the washing or care instructions of the product. A rug will stay beautiful longer if you rotate it now and then and vacuum it regularly. That helps distribute wear more evenly and keeps the look well cared for.
