Coloured cushions seem to be bigger this year than ever before. While previous years in the world of interiors have seen greys, white and blacks celebrated, this year it’s a different story.
This year – especially as we go into Autumn and Winter – coloured cushions are dominating. The reason? Well, there’s a distinct move toward the dark and moody in general when it comes to the home.
The romance trend, which is so prominent at the mo (read more about it here) is also partly to blame. Everyone seems to be on board with embracing burgundy, prune and blush tones.
And while our decorator brothers and sisters in Europe are more gutsy in displaying these shades (in furniture, wallpapers and other permanent fixtures), we’re easing into using moody tones in small doses. And coloured cushions are the best way to get your bold hue on without committing to something significant.
So allow me to show you some of the hottest coloured cushions on the market right now – trending hard as we go into Autumn and Winter.

Burgundy, Prune and Blush Cushions
This colourway, as I said above, is so on point right now because of the romance trend. Everyone is keen to bring these warm, rich tones into their living room and bedroom.
What’s so awesome about coloured cushions in these shades is that you can bring a little sumptuousness to the space, but in small doses. No feature walls painted plum. No rugs in maroon tones. Coloured cushions are an easy way to add some warmth to your space, but they allow you to change up the look quickly once spring hits. Because, yes, you should redecorate each season!
Below I’m showcasing eight of my fave coloured cushions in this rich and romantic colour story. Enjoy!

Moody Blue and Green Cushions
One of my favourite coloured cushion stories is a deep blue one. Not that I have anything against green, of course, but I think blue is a bit of an all rounder.
In Summer, by all means rock bright blues like turquoise. But when the weather gets cooler outside, I like to turn the tone of my blue cushions in a moodier direction. The tones tend to have more black or grey in them. Less bright and brash, more bold and brooding.
Of course, if you love an emerald green (it pairs so nicely with gold btw, as seen here), fear not. You can also celebrate green tones in Autumn and Winter. Much as you did with blue, look to green tones with black of grey in them. Anything that’s less vibrant is a good choice (tropical greens have no place in the home when it’s cold!).
Below I’ll pop the links to some of my fave coloured cushions in cozy blue and green tones.

Mustard and Terracotta Cushions
These two tones are not for the faint hearted, but boy when they work… they work! If you’ve got the guts to embrace these more daring tones throughout your home, I salute you.
And if you’re wanting to ease into embracing these shades, a coloured cushion is a great place to start. Pair either mustard or terracotta tones against a white or soft grey backdrop to add a pop to an otherwise subdued space.
The good news is you can use these two colours in a dark room too. Black sofas and armchairs are ripe for a little red or yellow action, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Below I’ll showcase some of my fave coloured cushions in these two shades for you.
