We have some tips on how to decorate your sofa with the MLO collection - whether you want traditional or a more maximalist style


Traditional or Maximalist?

Traditional or Maximalist


Traditional styling works best if you are wanting to achieve a classic look. This can be on an older style sofa or a modern one. It employs basic colour, a scene of order and balance and a subtle hint of class. This emphasizes order and predictable patterns. As such, you would aim to have an even number of cushions on the couch. Try 2 or 4 but no more because it will look cluttered. The cushions should be placed equidistant from one another. Alternatively you can have two cushions at either end of the sofa. If you are using different sizes, have the 2 sides mirror one another, for example, larger on the outside and smaller inside.


Maximalist Styling with Cushions


Maximalism is all about comfort. Be generous with colour, be painterly and create a room of art, decorating with what you love. Some of our vintage look fabrics are a must. Bold colours and patterns are essential ingredients - more is more. The real key to maximalist decor is pattern play. Mix up some patterns, play with scale and colour and cultures. Is pink your favourite colour? Choose a range of cushions in the pink family and add layers with rugs and paintings.And yes, animal print is a neutral, and animals as well. Bring the jungle inside! A riot of colour, pattern, art and textures - that’s exactly what a boho-luxe interior is made of. Don’t hold back. Using MLO’s unique and opulent cushions you can master the more is more look easily.


Three things to pay attention to when combining cushions. Scale. The size of the pattern. Colours - similar hues in equal intensity. Offset the two above by a piece of furniture (couch) in a solid colour. The backs of the cushions are mostly a solid colour also. This can easily be played with and different looks can be achieved depending on your mood by turning the cushions around. 


Mix and Match Cushion Shapes


Squares, oblongs and circles make up the range of cushions available at My Little Opulence. To avoid things looking too samey don’t use cushions of the same shape and size. You can create a symmetrical look without having to create a mirror image at either end of a sofa. Create the illusion of balance. It’s ok to have a square cushion opposite a round one. Oblong shapes can work well in this mix also. 


What is the best cushion insert?

 


My Little Opulence can’t get past the feather/down insert. Feathers are best at following the form of the cushion shape, and provide the most soft and comfortable cushion. We have sourced the best down and have had the cushions inserts custom made to fit our shapes.


What is the best fabric for cushions?


Designer home decor is easily achieved using MLO’s luxury cushions made with fashionable velvets and linens, curated globally, edited and handmade in Brisbane Queensland. Softer fabric is best for cushions, like velvet and linen, and they spell luxury and comfort. All cushion covers are meticulously sized to fit smugly on the custom inserts for comfort whilst lounging and relaxing. Make an opulent statement in your interior decor with fabrics that are unique and exclusive as they are made in very small batches so they are an investment. Why not start a collection? This range of opulence is only available online and in Brisbane at Chasing Chairs, a part of Empire Revival in Paddington.
