Patterns, shapes, textures: how to bring hand-printed cushions into a contemporary interior.
Incorporating artisanal block print cushions into a modern decor is an elegant way to add character and warmth to your interior. These cushions, handmade in India using the traditional block print technique, bring a unique and authentic touch to your space.
Choosing cushions with the right patterns and colours
Block print cushions come in a wide variety of patterns and colours. For a modern interior, opt for geometric or abstract patterns in neutral or pastel shades.
Harmonising textures and shapes
Block print cushions are available in different shapes and sizes: square, rectangular, XL giant and round. For an interesting visual effect, mix these shapes while maintaining a cohesive colour palette: pair a large rectangular cushion with smaller square cushions to create a balanced composition.
Incorporating cushions with velvet faces
To add depth and texture to your decor, consider reversible cushions with a velvet face on one side and block print on the other. This combination offers aesthetic and tactile versatility, allowing you to change the mood according to your desires.
Showcasing modern furniture
Block print cushions can serve as a focal point on modern furniture such as sleek sofas or contemporary armchairs. A round block print cushion, for example, adds a touch of colour and texture on a neutral sofa, creating an interesting contrast while maintaining visual harmony.
Creating a warm atmosphere
Block print cushions, made from 100% artisanal cotton, bring a sense of comfort and warmth to your interior. Arrange them generously on your sofa or bed to create a cosy atmosphere, while showcasing artisanal craftsmanship.
Pairing cushions with other decorative elements
To enhance the look of your decor, pair your block print cushions with other elements: throws, jute rugs, or linen curtains. This combination of natural textures and artisanal patterns will visually enrich your space while maintaining stylistic cohesion.
