Colors are a big deal in Feng Shui. For your cushions, think about earthy tones like beige, brown, and terracotta—they bring a sense of grounding and stability.
If you want to create a peaceful vibe, soft blues and greens are perfect.
3. Pick Patterns with Meaning
When it comes to patterns, choose ones that make you feel good or have special meaning to you. For example, floral patterns can symbolize growth and renewal, while geometric designs add a sense of structure.
4. Balance Yin and Yang Textures
Feng Shui is all about balance, and you can achieve this by mixing different textures. Pair smooth, silky fabrics (yang energy) with soft, plush materials like velvet (yin energy) to create a harmonious blend. This combo ensures your space feels balanced and comforting.
Layering cushions, throws, and blankets is a simple way to add depth and texture while making your space feel extra cozy. This is especially great for living rooms and bedrooms where comfort is key.
6. Keep It Symmetrical
In Feng Shui, symmetry equals balance and harmony. Try arranging your cushions in pairs or balanced groups on sofas and chairs to promote stability and unity. It looks great and enhances the flow of positive energy in your space.
7. Refresh with the Seasons
Just like the seasons change, so can your home textiles. Switching up your cushions and throws for each season keeps your space feeling fresh and vibrant.
8. Activate the Bagua Areas
Did you know that cushions can actually help activate specific Feng Shui areas in your home? For instance, placing red or pink cushions in the relationship corner can boost love and partnership, while green cushions in the wealth corner can attract abundance.
9. Keep Your Textiles Clean and Fresh
Good Feng Shui relies on clean and well-maintained textiles. Regularly washing and caring for your cushions is essential for a healthy and vibrant living environment. In each product page we have tips on keeping your cushions looking their best.
