Floral cushions are a simple yet stunning way to introduce colour, texture and warmth into your home. Whether you prefer bold blooms or delicate petals, the right patterned cushion cover can bring life to any indoor or outdoor setting. In this guide, we’ll explore creative styling ideas using floral cushions, including how to mix and match patterns, choose colours, and make the most of your living spaces.
Why floral cushions never go out of style
Florals are timeless. From vintage-inspired patterns to modern botanical prints, floral cushions work across all interiors. They can soften a minimalist room, add character to a neutral palette, or tie together a vibrant colour scheme. With so many decorative pillow patterns available, it’s easy to find a design that complements your existing decor. They're perfect for the bed, couch, or even the floor.
Choosing the perfect floral pattern for your home
When selecting a pattern cushion cover, you should consider your space’s colour palette and personality. Here are a few ideas:
- Green floral cushions: Perfect for calming spaces or nature-inspired themes. Green tones blend beautifully with timber, rattan, or linen furniture.
- Navy floral cushions: Add depth and sophistication to a room, especially when paired with crisp whites or soft greys.
- Velvet pattern cushion: Combines the richness of velvet with the charm of florals, great for the bedroom or a cosy reading corner.
- Abstract or stylised flower cushion pattern: Ideal for modern interiors that call for something a little different. Think artistic shapes, layered textures and soft fabric.

Mixing floral and pattern cushions like a pro
Styling pattern cushions can be easy with the right approach. Here’s how to keep it cohesive:
- Mix florals with solids to let the pattern shine
- Choose a shared colour across different cushions to tie them together
- Pair large-scale florals with smaller decorative pillow patterns for contrast
- Stick to odd numbers, groups of three or five pillows feel balanced and intentional
- Add texture by including cushions made from fleece, linen or velvet
Styling floral cushions in different rooms
Living room:
Layer patterned cushion covers with your existing plain cushions to add interest to your couch or occasional chairs. Don’t forget to add a throw pillow or two for extra softness and support.
Bedroom:
Use a few bold floral cushions against a crisp duvet to create a statement, or choose soft cushion cover floral designs for a romantic, relaxed look. A flower-shaped cushion can also make a fun focal point.
Outdoor areas:
Floral prints look fresh and welcoming on patios or verandahs. Our outdoor cushions are made with durable materials and weather-resistant fabric so you can enjoy comfort and style year-round.

How to use floral cushions for seasonal styling
Floral cushions are a simple way to update your space for the seasons. In spring, opt for bright colours and playful patterns like daisies, tulips, and pastel blooms. During autumn or winter, switch to deeper tones and florals with earthy or jewel-like hues. Rotating your cushions seasonally keeps your home looking fresh and allows you to enjoy the full range of flower cushion pattern designs available.
Floral cushions in layered styling
For a truly designed look, layer your floral cushions with different shapes, sizes and fabric types. Start with larger base cushions, then layer with smaller throw pillows or a bold flower shape design in front. Mixing rectangular and round cushions can add extra dimension. This layered approach works well in bedrooms, lounges, and styled nooks throughout your home.
