FAQ

  • Q: How many cushions should you place on a sofa?
    A: For a 2-seater sofa, 2-3 cushions are sufficient; for a large 3-seater, 4-6 cushions look harmonious.

  • Q: Can different materials be combined?
    A: Yes – wool, cotton, linen, and blends create exciting contrasts. Important: A common color tone unites the cushions.

  • Q: How do you properly combine colors for sofa cushions?
    A: A harmonious effect is created when one main color dominates and is complemented by one or two accent colors. A mix of neutral tones (e.g., beige or gray) with bold color accents (e.g., yellow or petrol) looks modern and stylish.

  • Q: What size fits best in an armchair?
    A: A 40x40 cm cushion will fit in a standard armchair, or a 50x50 cm cushion if the armchair is a bit wider. 30x50 cm cushions are very comfortable for the lower back, providing support and adding a decorative touch.

  • Q: What's the best way to wash designer cushions?
    A: Most of the covers for our designer cushions are made of genuine wool and can be washed on a gentle cycle or by hand. We recommend washing the covers infrequently and hanging them outdoors for drying, as pure wool has natural self-cleaning properties. Spot clean stains with mild soap to help keep the colors and fabrics looking beautiful for longer.

  • Q: Which fillings are most comfortable for pillows?
    A: There are different fillings to suit all preferences. Polyester fillings are popular, as they are particularly soft and adaptable – also suitable for allergy sufferers, as they are easy to care for and hygienic.

  • Q: We are looking for specific colors or would like some advice?
