Happy Cushions For Happy Homes


These days I am busy scouting for the perfect new sofa for my home. I was considering colourful sofas, big sofas, small ones, dark ones, bright ones. For the moment, I've come to one conclusion: I want a neutrally coloured sofa cause I am too much in love with cushions. I mean all kind of cushions. Ethnic ones, graphic ones, bold ones, pastely ones and so on. Hence, I need a neutral background to make them work on the sofa.

 So I thought it's cool to share some new cushion designs with you that I've spotted recently and really liked. So here we go with a little European 'cushion tour': 

 France: Juliette Beaupin

 The charming, Paris based French designer adds happiness to your home with colourful cushions with geometric patterns (see also top image). Simple yet playful, the cushions by Juliette Beaupin are all created in her little Parisian studio with lots of passion. For the future, I will put happy French cushions right next to macarons on my souvenir list! HERE you can see more of Juliette's work.  

 England: Chocolate Creative

 The folks at Chocolate Creative are dead-on when it comes to cushion design. The cushions with photographic prints of nature sights and landscapes perfectly transmit the hipster vibe of 'back to nature' and taking the outdoors in. These cushions will not only make a statement on your sofa but on your bed, too. I fell like I need one…


 Germany: Philuko

 Philuko is the design label of Germany based Julia Schenk. She creates unique handmade home accessories and her cushions combine her various design approaches - from typography, to photography and illustrative art. These cushions seem very urban and cool to me. Want, want!


 Hope you liked today's little 'cushion Eurovision'. Let me know which label is your favorite!

    Eine tolle Auswahl! Die Kissen aus Frankreich gefallen mir richtig gut. Ich mag grafische Formen sehr gern. Im Moment habe ich alle Kissen auf meiner Couch selbst genäht - eine kunterbunte Mischung, sowohl in der Farbe als auch im Material.

    Liebe Grüße!

    I like the idea of a neutral sofa and cushion Eurovision sounds so much better than the real thing!

    I am, surprisingly, drawn to the English cushions. I say surprisingly because this is probably a style I wouldn't go for, but I find myself really liking them. I especially like the one shown in the bedroom but I like it just as much on a chair.

    I'm torn between England and Germany. Decisions are hard. I'd probably have to buy them all and switch them out. Architect Tampa Bay FL
